For us, there’s no better vacation than a ski vacation, but sometimes you need to concede and do something different. Maybe you have some parents or grandparents who are sick of saving their social security checks and pensions and want to roll the dice and play some slots! Maybe, you’ve been so sweet to them, they want to take you along on that trip! Well, good friends, you’re in luck! The bums are here to help with their handy list.
