Travel Dates
In 1999, the tides turned and Seth travelled extensively because he became Asian Regional Manager of the Global Change Management Group within the Bank. Tara was lucky enough to have LOTS of accrued vacation and compensation time left over from 1998, so she was able to go with on the majority of his business trips.
