Fine with me, but could you please give back drawer space and bathroom counters? I need functional, not cute when I travel, especially if I’m on business.
What a phenomenal story Bill. Personally I could think of nothing worse than going through either the experience of everyone on board that flight or the men who were rescued from the rudder of that ship.
