What makes me different?

If you don't know me, you're probably wondering what makes me different from all of the other bloggers and travel writers.  Let me tell you a little about myself and then we can get on to the fun stuff like how to stuff the kids in the overhead compartment when they are whining and you have two hours left on your flight!

I have been traveling solo since I was two years old flying to meet my biological father for the holidays.  My grandmother said I was her little gypsy with my bag always packed.  It must be in my blood because she went all over the world and oftentimes took me with her.  My husband, Lance, and I have been married for almost 25 years.

Hot hubby, Lance

We have six children ages 22 to 10.

(missing Lance, adding Mom & friend)

I love traveling with my family except for those long car trips when you wonder where the benadryl is because "he looked at me" too many times!

We travel with our kids two or three times a year, as a couple two or three times a year, and individually when we can't both get away from our businesses.
Right after grad school, we moved back to Eunice and bought a vintage motor-court motel.

We added RV sites, bought an RV of our very own, made lots of renovations to our little inn and Voila!, I have been on the opposite side of the travel industry for about twenty years.

Once the kids were a tad bit older, I started helping with a few festivals in our town.  I was also elected to the St. Landry Parish Tourism Commission in 2015, and became a tour leader for EF Tours.

All of this brings me back to the question of what makes me special?  Is it my pretty pink toes?

Sorry, I got off track.  Anyhoo, whatever I post it will be with lots of experience behind it.

My site will be primarily geared toward the traveler on group tours.  Having experienced both, Lance and I love traveling with a group!  I'll go more in depth later, but essentially everything is done for us.  We live very busy and stressful lives and want to experience the world with as little headache of planning as possible.

Here are two fantastic articles to help you decide which is right for you:
Group Tours Vs. Solo Travel
Organized Tour vs. Solo Travel

Hasta la vista!
