April Tour

I failed to blog about my tour in April that was with my most favorite school group. I had the same school last year, and these girls were fantastic. They did there home country of England proud. Our tour started in NYC, then DC, where the cherry blossoms were in bloom and gorgeous and ended with a drive up to NYC and a stop in Philly.

I really liked this photo. I took it from the Lee Mansion, which is in the Arlington National Cemetery. You can see the Washington Monument and the Capitol in the distance.

Month in Review

I can't believe it's been a month since my last entry. Hopefully this massive entry will get you up-to-speed.

In April I finished up working with EF Smithsonian, and I had a great group of kids. It was a three bus move of English as a second language students touring Philadelphia and New York City. It was fantastic weather, so we really lucked out.

Beginning May 12 I'll be working for GrandLuxe Rail. I just returned from a training session from Albuquerque to Napa Valley. I'm really excited about the season. My first tour starts in Jackson, Wyoming, with tours around Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. We'll then meet up with the luxury train and make our way through national parks, including the Grand Canyon, ending in Albuquerque.

Here's the wonderful Tour Leader faces that will greet the guests in Wyoming - Tasha, Ernest and Me.
