March 11, 2018 67 miles in 10 days. On foot, yo. But, I get to see Sara Bareilles on her last night. Break a Leg!
Theatre and the Arts, NYC
March 10, 2018 This is one more my favorite tours because I love my thespian groups! Having worked in theatre and film for many years, I can actually relate to these high school kids, probably more now than when I was actually in high school. This is a very Liberal group from Texas, in love... Continue Reading →
NYC Post “Storm”
March 8, 2018 Today, New York City...Take Two. We were the first ones on the ferry this morning. Hopped off for 5 minutes at Liberty Island to take a photo up Lady Liberty's dress, and then hopped on the ferry back to Ellis Island.
NYC and the “Storm”
March 7, 2018 Sloppy, wet, puddles, wind, closed, slip, chill, people, fall, subways, potholes, ice, snowflakes, mud, slush, misery, fluster, bluster, broken. Done.
NYC, Before the Storm
March 6, 2018 I snored myself awake and turned to see my 3 group leaders laughing at me somewhere near the Delaware border.

Dirksen Dining Hall and other things

She actually sells it as a field trip experience amongst our country's leadership. Amazing. And so much fun. The bill is usually... Continue Reading →

March 4, 2018 Every year I have this group and I absolutely love them. We always have a wreath laying at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and one young lady was dressed in her traditional Native Hopi dress. Just gorgeous. She had to get special permission from her Tribal Elders to even step foot... Continue Reading →
Monticello, Thomas Jefferson’s Home
March 3, 2018 Turns out my driver never made it to a hotel last night and had to sleep on the bus. All of the Bolt, Vamoose, Megabus and Greyhound busses that left before my transportation options were cancelled, were all stuck there overnight on I-95 and all hotels were taken. So very thankful, as... Continue Reading →
Stranded in NYC
March 2, 2018 Being a Tour Director is just "so glamorous". I just finished up a 3-day TD training for my student company, which went very well, and I had to leave them early to meet a group down in Richmond, VA. The storm was coming in, but I had a 2pm train headed south.... Continue Reading →
