computors

My computor crashed last week so took it for repairs and in the meantime got a great little note pad from Verizon - I love it!! So now I have two working computors. There are disadvantages and advantages of the Verizon one - the disadvantage it costs quite a lot per month but the advantage it will work in any place or country where there is wifi access and it is small and very lighweight with a good battery.

Australia

Will be flying out to Australia on November 22nd, it is a done deal. Before that, however, I have a lot of work. Will be conducting tours to Arizona, the California Coast including Yosemite, the California Rail Discovery and finally Greece.
So now have to start studying on many things - at least I have a few weeks free so have plenty of time!!

New phone/work

Just returned from my CA Rail Discovery TOur and it went well. On the day I returned my new phone (Verizon Droid X) arrived! I am now studying it to figure out all the things it has on it. It is just like a new expensive toy!!!
My next tour is not until September when I go to Arizona and then it is all go until I fly out to Australia at the end of November or beginning of December. Hopefully I will return from Sydney via Hawaii to meet up with my husband for a long awaited vacation together.

California Rail Discovery

Am getting ready to guide my next tour. It will be the California Rail Discovery with Premier World Discovery. I am really looking forward to it since I have not had a tour since May!. I have 50 guests so that is a lot of people to keep happy but like always I will do my best.

Australia

Just spoke with my cousin Neil who lives north of Sydney by a lake. He and his family have invited me over to visit them. I have not seen him since 1967 when he was just 15 years old!

I am really exited about this upcoming visit and I think I will have a lot of fun. He and his wife Pam have a beautiful German Shepherd called Honda will enjoy playing with her a lot. The plan to take me up to Coff's Harbour for a few days - that place looks really interesting. It claims to have the best climate in NSW and even has many bananas.

Am planning to go at the end of November after I return from my working tour to Greece.

tour guiding

Have almost come to an end guiding the Indians around SF. Have only 6 more tours to go. I must say I will not really be sorry since I feel I am beginning to sound rather like a parrot!!

My next tour with Premier is in July and is my regular tour of CA. Hopefully in September I will be taking a tour to Greece. I do have one in November however, which is confirmed. Am really looking forward to that.

Hopefully I will be off to Australia in December for a couple of weeks.

safaris

Have just spoken with Phil who arranges Safaris to Tanzania and he wants me to market his tours. It sounds very interesting. If I can introduce him to different orgnizations and he gets a group then I will have the pleasure of escorting them - this is a great opportunity and I should take it!
