Chris T Loc: from England across the pond to New England

She worked for various travel agencies...not an airline. And although some of the trips were free or at a reduced cost, called "Fam Trips" (short for familiarization) others were places that she and my dad (currently in their 63rd year of marriage) took on their own, long after she stopped working. Travel agencies nowadays are few and far between relative to when she was working. Airlines and cruise lines no longer offer incentives or gifts to travel agents and want people to book on the company website or with their own call center. One thing about fam trips - they weren't all fun and games. They had to travel to many hotels or activity areas during the short stays and learn about them so they could advise their clients back home.

I see, so it was all double-duty, huh, Gary?

Chime in!!! .... Share your photographic journeys .... tell where you've been, and what you've shot!


Sorry my response is so late. I've taken pictures since I was old enough to hold a camera. As a child I visited relatives in Indiana and Ohio and no doubt took pictures with a box camera.
Because I was a woman Marine and married a career Marine I traveled in and photographed many states in the USA.
I have fond memories and thousands of pictures taken while traveling abroad. Being a country bumpkin from Grandville, Michigan, I still find it hard to believe I was in all these countries:
England, Netherlands, France, Spain, Liechenstein, Yugoslavia, Greece, Turkey, Ecuadore, Galapagos, India, Japan, Philippines, Canada, Monaco, Taiwan, Thailand, China (Hong Kong) Malaysia, Scandinavia (only Norway), Bahamas, 2 Carribean cruises, Mexico.

Trays full of slides gather dust. Fond memories are dimming.

Annie ... thanks for a record of your travels ... look, why don't you copy all those slides into a digital format, so you can sort and categorize them on your computer? .... Just a thought ...

I have copied some and made prints from ones I copied. Since I'm 94 I don't plan on doing more. Thanks so much for viewing my post, Chris. Merry Christmas! 🎄

Interesting, MJ ... you have a thing for adjacency - Kenya-Tanzania ... Italy-Austria-Czech Rep. .... Mexico-USA ... dunno what happened with Holland, though!

No hankering to go to Belgium, France, Luxembourg, or Germany?

Puerto Rico and the US Virgins are indeed both US Territories, but they still are countries ... ask them in San Juan .....

All your travelling's been in the Western Hemisphere, BTBG ... rowboat?

pretty funny comment. Thanks for the laugh. By the way I have been in a rowboat in the ocean. My wife's uncle lived in Pacific City Oregon. They have a dory fleet that launches off the beach. When the practice first started they were all double ended rowboats.

They still have a festival once a year with dory races and we have rowed the dories several times in the ocean. It's actually pretty fun as long as its not cold because you will get wet going in and out of the surf.

Glad you appreciated the comment, BTBG ....

Dory races, huh? ... Fun? ... The jury's out to lunch on that one!

But, whatever floats your boat!!!!!
