Adventures by Disney: The A’s

I talk so much about the Disney parks around here, especially the domestic ones, that it might appear those are the only Disney vacations available.

Those are the ones I post in this blog. Lately, though I have been hard pressed to find a workshop that I felt was worth the time and money… that is until I was sent this incredible opportunity. Grasshopper Adventures is offering a travel photography workshop to China for $3,400 per person. I know. It sounds steep, but look at what it includes: 14 nights’ accommodations, hotel … Continue reading →
