Standby Sojourners
Im Tippins and I met my husband Rufio (pseudonym for his uncanny resemblance to a certain ill-fated Disney character) in May 2009. We were just shy of dating two months when he introduced me to the chaotic world of non-revenue pass travel. That trip would forever change our lives. Not only did we fall head over heels for each other on the warm shores of Maho Bay, USVI, but I became verifiably obsessed with the gamble of standby travel.
