Visit Minsk, Belarus – December 2021

A Wine Focused Visit to France

And in all my travels around the globe - its not like I've seen very many vineyards planted at airports!

Our first My Passport Drive was much larger and significantly heavier. This latest drive (comes in sizes of 1TB, 2TB, 4TB and 5TB) is so small it will easily fit in one's … [Read more...]
