Customer Reviews
Fascinating!
This podcast on passports answered all my questions and even the ones I hadn't even thought of yet. I am now happy to say I know more about the ins and outs of getting, renewing, and the future of passports than I ever thought possible in a 30 minute travel informational podcast. Thanks for all the great tips!
Passion for the Sun, Moon and Stars
It's always great to hear about others' passions. The world is full of more things to do and places to see than we could ever hope to accomplish in a lifetime. That's why I love these podcasts! Great idea about some things I never dreamed of. And that is the case here... who knew that you can plan to be in places when spectacular things in space are taking place, such as eclipses. It's a great way to plan and I appreciate the insight!
Fantastic & informative
Just what I was looking for!
