ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing about these trail guides! I don't think I would have looked at them further without hearing about them from you. I visited their booth at our homeschool conference and was hooked!
ReplyDeleteWe are going to use the US one next year (though my daughter really wanted to do the world). We are studying Presidents though so the US is a good fit!
Thank you!
If you ever want to talk about FIAR, please email me. I've been using it for many years (since 1997) and was a vendor for them for 10 years. I love it and am happy to answer any questions.
Blessings

You're welcome, Leslie. I hope you enjoy it! I'm sure I will be emailing you about FIAR. I thought I would look through their website first and see what I can find out. Thank you for your willingness to help! :-)
