Welcome Fans, Friends, and Visitors,

Hello to all of our new and continuing members. In the past month from August 15^th to the present, my tour guides and I have had the pleasure to conduct tours for hundreds of people to and of:

1. Multiple Heights Tours.
2. Customized Museum and History Tour.
3. Pick-up a New Zealand family from a Galveston cruise ship for tours of Galveston, Space Center Houston, Houston, and Buc-ee’s.
4. Ice Cream Tour.
5. River Oaks Tour.
6. Weird and Unique Houston Tour.

 

This summer, I went on two different cruises: one for 7 days in Hawaii in June and 1 land and cruise tour for 12 in August. I got a last minute volcano special deal for the Hawaiian cruise and I planned the Alaskan cruise for months ahead. I try to get away from Houston’s oppressive heat and humidity as well as the hurricanes each August. I think that cruising is one of if not, the best bang for one’s buck. You have all of your meals, housing and entertainment for one price and you get to visit foreign and exotic lands and have one adventure after another. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term, excursions refer to the land activities that one has the option to select in each port of call. These excursions can double the price of the cruise. In Alaska, I went on excursions to see bear, deer, moose, antelope, salmon, totem poles, lighthouses, glaciers, icebergs, a state wild animal rescue center, and a former Indian village. I rode a 1906 train that retraced the route of the 1896 Klondike gold rush and I took history and haunted tours.

As I travel, I always wonder if this vacation could make for a good tour and would people be interested. Last year, I spent 3 weeks in Germany and England during August. Who knows where I will be in next August? Please let me know if you and or your friends would like to see an out of state/nation tour planned for the future. Thank you.

I will be sharing in this and the other mid-month blogs various national days of eating and offering special discounts. For example:
