Other places I've been
My senior year in high school was spent in Davao City, Philippines as an AFS exchange student. That year was when Marcos declared martial law, so it was a very interesting year for a naive (but outspoken) midwestern girl to live where there was suddenly no freedom of speech, curfews, and armed troops in the streets. I was a flight attendant from 1980-1997, so was able to see much of the U.S. as well as Canada & Mexico. In 1981-82 I guided tours in Paris for airline employees during my vacation time. In 2003 my husband & I took the "vacation of a lifetime", exploring France for four months, beginning with a month at an immersion language school (see my blog for details). In 2004, I began my own company, West Wind Tours, LLC. (www.westwindtours.us). We offer tours for groups of 4-6 adults to the Bordeaux wine region and Dordogne Valley of SW. France, staying in beautiful B&B's.
