LEAVING ON A JET PLANE

Just finishing up some packing before we board our coach in a few hours for the airport...first pickup is 3:00AM!! And you guys complain our coach departures are early. Keep checking to see where our group ends up at the end of each day. It's our annual April Fool's Fly Mystery Tour. Lots of sights and suspense...it was 83 degrees there today. Looking forward to warm, warm, weather.

Busy Busy

Just returned back from our 5 day Irish mystery tour. Went to Dublin...great time with a great group of people. Lots of Irish food, Guinness beer, fiddle music, and step dancing. We learned about the Irish customs: "Wake Me When It's Over" the 3 day wake, "All Saints Preserve Us" the immigrants travels, and we tied in a scavenger hunt, murder mystery, Skelley the leprachaun, candy store, cooking demonstation, and lots of other cool things. Oh by the way it was Dublin, Ohio!!

BACK AT IT

Well I am finally back in the office...I don't know what is worse; living out of a suitcase for 5 weeks or coming back to the office and logging on to my email accounts and seeing it list 1055 new emails...We had a great trip to the southwest but even better, a wonderful group of people. Laughed over 5,000 miles and really saw so much. This week will be spent getting caught up and hopefully next week getting ahead of the game.

We have a "tour night" next week on Alaska with presentation, discounts and lots of goodies so mark your calendar for March 10th at 6:30p.

ALMOST HOME

Well we are on our downhill swing departing from Oklahoma City today and making our way to Fenton, Missouri for our last night. But first we welcome a ranger at the Oklahoma City National Memorial for a tour of the park and museum dedicated to those who lost their lives in the bombing of '95. What a group of travelers we had... laughed the whole way. Looking forward to having them along again.

HEADING TO ARIZONA

Well, I am trying to get ready to pack my bags and head to the southwest. Hopefully the nasty, cold weather will be through there by the time we reach the Texas state line. That's one of the great advantages of taking your time getting someplace. We will enjoy 5 days of sights and adventure before arriving. If our group was flying down on Sunday we would be arriving to 40 degree temperatures brrrrr! Even though that's warmer than here today at 4 degrees, it's still very cold for Texas and New Mexico. The other advantages are way too many to list. Departures always on time, no bumped passsengers, luggage always arrives delivered to your room, and you don't have to be stripped and body searched before boarding....just to mention a few. I'll be in touch...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I have been MIA (missing in action). Things have been extremely busy in our office this past two month. Autumn is always crazy but December and January were just as hectic. Gloria, I and Mario (new addition to our coach company cleaning department) have just returned from Washington DC from our annual ABA (American Bus Association) convention. It was great! We finalized all the little details on our "DC in Detail" tour for this September. Plan on joining us...it is filled with new attractions and all the "must see" sights. Getting ready for our travel shows in Fond du Lac and Waldo - hope to see you there!

Southern Charm

Today we departed Wisconsin for the charming south. With our "sweeties" by our side (today is Sweetest Day) we find alot of familiar faces aboard the coach. Nancy Birkholz impresses the group by knowing everyone's names by lunch today:) WOW! See, traveling with us is like a family reunion...we love our repeat travelers. Dinner was at Mary's Restaurant in Herrin, IL. A fantastic place that even Hal loved. Well it's time to do bed check and make sure my folks are turned in for the night. The ladies are all excited for Graceland tomorrow. Elvis, I hope you are ready for them...
