I am all set to begin my Big Adventure. I'm heading to San Francisco tomorrow morning (8/9/08) to take a 2-week training course to become a Tour Director. Since I love to travel but have no money to do so, I tried to think of a way to get paid to do it. ITMI (International Tour Management Institute) http://tinyurl.com/64q2o8 is hopefully the answer to my prayers.
If I do well, no small feat since I haven't been in a classroom for 35 years, I will apply to several Tour companies and hopefully get hired to be a tour director, that is the person who supervises tour groups thru their trips. It seems to be an ideal career for me since I love to travel and I love to boss people around.
I leave Saturday at 8:00 AM and arrive in SF at 1:00 PM after a stop-over in Las Vegas. I'll try not to lose my lunch money there. I'll spend the weekend getting set up in the
Hotel Mayflower http://tinyurl.com/6db9jc and begin class at the Hotel Nikko http://tinyurl.com/6owk8c on Monday at noon.
Stay tuned here for updates and pictures from my trip...and...wish me luck!!!
I am OUTTA here!

When you said you were in a classroom 35 years ago, you forgot when you and I were doing geneology research. In the parking lot of the Plainview trip, you said to me (I quote) I feel like you and I are going back to school. I never forgot that, I thought it was so cool, because I can't remember how many times I had to yell at you for picking the bites from mosquitoes. You were such a cute little girl.
How cool is that?! That's a total dream job..you must share every moment with us!
Sounds like an awesome job!
you are going to do wonderful at the tour school! and get hooked up with a great tour guide job!!!!
good luck
