Having traveled to the US on five occasions, I must admit to some disappointment as I have only been to one of these venues – Austin’s renowned Continental Club. So I will be adding to the list in my travels in September 2013, by at least one and maybe even three more. It’s good to have some important self-improvement goals, isn’t it?
