Hi-Fi Do Online Newsletter September 24, 2005 I traveled abroad for my late summer vacation. This trip proved "Forewarned is forearmed." I took gloves, scarf, cap, coat and trekking shoes though I thought they seemed too much preparation. However, they were very usefulduring my trip. Swimsuit and bath towel were also necessary. Can you guess where I traveled? I would like to tell you about my trip next week. "Forewarned is forearmed." goes to audio. Hi-Fi Do clearance sale is available until September 30.
