The Travel Guy

Andrew Wharton is the best go to guy when it comes to travel My husband and I had never been out of Canada when we decided to take a trip to the DR. We would have been lost without the assistance and advice of Andrew from the time we boarded the plane until we returned. He just seems to have that special knack for knowing what and how to do things that first time travelers get lost in Thanks Andrew
