RTW TRAVELER PROFILE - Andy Cannon
Andy Cannon recently sent off on his RTW adventure with £5500 in his pocket, a girlfriend by his side and an itinerary that will take him to India, Southeast Asia, the Pacific, and the West Coast, USA. One of his reasons for going? "When you are old it is good to look back on things you have done and achieved rather than regret missed opportunities!"

THE BOOTBLOG
With the office getting remodeled, life for Donovan, Court, Sean and Dave has been a bit crazy as we work all over the city. This situation has presented a few problems, including unusual ones, but wi-fi has proved to be very resourceful. We've also found plenty of time to clown around.
If you're interested in meeting some of the Bootie Crew in Portland, check out the blog to see when we're heading to Thirsty Thursday at PGE Park. Although we aren't able to host any out-of-towners for awhile, let us know if you're in town and we'll meet you for a drink!
