One Place We Love

Hello from ILTM Cannes (aka the “Met Gala of travel conferences”) where I (Nina) have probably already seen about half of you in one day. I went to 15 meetings and events today, but I only took one photo. Thank you to Lily Carr of Round Hill Hotel and Villas in Jamaica for showing me your beautiful property, and for stopping me to snap this pic. If you’re at ILTM and I haven’t run past you on Boulevard de la Croisette, please say hi!

See you in class,

Stacey & Nina
