Join Debi Hertert and Michele Fitzgerald as they talk about Michele’s vacation rental in Sedona (that is not on Airbnb).  Debi and Rob traveled to Sedona, Arizona in early 2017 to find some sun, and stayed in Michele's wonderful vacation rental home. She teaches intuitive methods, leads tours in Ireland, operates on-line businesses and manages her beautiful and successful vacation rental.  And, as you will hear in the podcast, she has big plans for next year!  Michele doesn’t use Airbnb – and explains why.

Michele has a 1-week minimum, Saturday to Saturday, and an 80-85
