I seem to be living a blessed life at times. I happened to fall into this job as a travel agent, and it's worked out for me better than I could have imagined, both personally and professionally. It's almost embarrassing to see my name posted on the board when I walk in the front door of the agency. It showed the top agent for each of the last 12 months, and...
