Prime Time Money: “Going on Vacation” Roundup

I’ll Be On Vacation This Week

Mrs. PT and I are taking a nice vacation this week to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary.  We’re lucky enough to be staying at an all-inclusive resort this time.  I’ll try and share a few photos and a review once I get back.

The laptop is not coming with me this time, so I won’t be interacting much on the blog (comments, emails, etc..).  I will, however, still be providing some quality posts for you…I’ve got them all set to auto-post throughout the week.  There are even a couple of guest posts included.  Be sure and check back each day.
