Hi Guys,

It is a very simple one . . . I am always reminded by the wonderful world around me and, often tell my passengers . . . “I love the view from my office!”. I think all of you “roadies” would agree!

Thanks for asking,

This I saw at a restaurant in the rainforest in Puerto Rico. Its a little restaurant with only five tables, so maybe I call it an eatery.

Here is what I read in there

“Lo que no mata, engorda” which means: what doesnot kill you makes you fat.

Should I eat there again!!!!!!!!

When a passenger or passengers delight in an upcoming experience but I feel they need some encouragement to participate….I merely say…………

“Gather ye rosebuds while you may, Time is but a flying……For this rosebud that blooms today, Tomorrow will be dying”

or

Carpe Diem…Seize the Day.

This usually does the trick  All the Best. Becky Hoffman

“A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles.” – Tim Cahill

As a tour director, my “pot of gold” are the friendships made along the way. When I see tour guest transform from being a bunch of strangers on day one, to being a bunch of new friends hugging and planning the next adventure together by the end of the tour, I know that they have truely traveled.

I like this one from John Muir:

I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.

John Muir, 1913

I found this on a web-site of a botanical garden somewhere in the North West / Vancouver; forgot which one.
