*Cue Olympic Theme Song*
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the International Travel Olympics! We have an exciting update on our star athletes, Susie and Andrew Warren, as they continue their thrilling journey through Portugal. Let’s dive into the highlights:
 |
Here they are on their second day in Lisbon and Susie and Andrew are really starting things off strong with a trip to the National Palace of Pena.
I’ll tell you, things were looking dicey for a moment with fog settling in, but Andrew managed to score a few strategic points with his matching yellow shirt. Talk about preparation!
 |
This is why they are considered the best at what they do!
Here’s Susie going for that tricky international snack maneuver…
 |
And she nails it! That’s going to give them a serious advantage as they head into this next leg.
But first, a snapshot of the terrain, so we can get a look at what they are working with:
 |
I’d say they’ve got their work cut out for them.
The competition is heating up as we move to the next location: Porto. Now, this location has presented a real challenge to our athletes as they’re faced with some difficult decisions. Do they tour the university? The church? The library? Amazing! They’re going for all three! What a move!
 |
 |
 |
But what’s this? An evening stroll beside the Douro River? That’s a risky move. Easy to get distracted by those stunning sights.
 |
But wait!
 |
—oh my goodness, is that gelato in Susie’s hand? It seems our athlete has found her secret boost of energy!
And I think that boost is going to give Andrew and Susie the wiggle room they need to take a strategic break with a serene cruise down the Douro River. Here’s Susie recharging her batteries with a good book and a view of Portugal wine country in the background. Look at that focus and determination! And she’s going to need it because this next challenge is what they’ve been preparing for.
 |
It all comes down to this.
Will they go for it?…
 |
Yes! They’ve done it! They’ve successfully landed their 35th wedding anniversary! What a win for team Warren!
And as we wrap up this segment of the International Travel Olympics, Susie and Andrew are showing no signs of slowing down. They’re in peak form, ready to take on whatever challenges lie ahead. So stay tuned, folks, because this competition is far from over, and next week Susie will be bringing her secret weapon, the release of One Last Promise on Amazon!

THIS TIME, THEY’RE NOT JUST FIGHTING FIRE.
An original series created by bestselling authors Susan May Warren and Lisa Phillips.
He thought his life was over…and then she walked back in.
Charlie Benning has always been a rescuer—first with the Last Chance County Fire and Rescue team, and now as a firefighter with the Jude County Hotshots. But this summer isn’t about saving lives—it’s about hiding his own terrible secret. A secret he’s keeping from his estranged daughter, Alexis.
But fate is about to intervene.
Will their secrets destroy their second chance?
Jayne Price raised her son, Orion, on her own just fine, thank you. And now, she runs Wildlands Academy, a summer camp that teaches kids how to fight forest fires and confront their own teenage angst—kids like Alexis Benning, who clearly has a chip on her shoulder about her semi-estranged, firefighter father.
And Jayne has her own issues, like not wanting her only son to join the elite smokejumping corps. It’s enough that he’s risking his life as a hotshot on the Jude County team.
Then the wildfire turns its force onto the camp and suddenly the hotshots show up to help her fight it. Only problem…the last person she expects is for her former flame, Charlie Benning—the man she can’t forget—to show up working alongside her son.
Rather, his son.
Who he doesn’t know exists.
And then Charlie discovers the secret she’s been keeping, and he’s torn between anger and the long-simmering love that refuses to die. And Jayne isn’t about to let go of the man she loves a second time. But if the blazing wildfire isn’t enough, a dangerous and relentless killer is on the prowl in the woods…
Now, with the camp cut off from the outside world and the fire closing in, it’s a race against time as Charlie, Jayne, Orion, and a team of courageous smokejumpers join forces to protect the campers against a merciless inferno and a murderer. But the biggest threat of all might be Charlie’s devastating secret that could destroy the happy ending they’ve waited for so long.
Prepare for an edge-of-your-seat journey that will leave you breathless until the very last page, in book four of the Chasing Fire: Montana series.
