Places I've been

Ottawa, Illinois (Hometown), 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.

My husband and I (along with a dog & cats) live in south central Montana in a log home primarily powered by solar & wind. Vegetable and flower gardens, as well as hiking keep me busy in the Summer, skiing in Winter.

In Spring & Fall I take small groups of adults to SW France to drink wine & explore medieval & prehistoric sites. I set up all the ground portion of the trip and act as guide, while my husband is our chauffeur. We have alot of fun & have made some great friends both of clients and the owners of the B&B's we use on our tours.

Thanks for the suggestion. Rather than changing the location, because I do so love Paris, I may change the criteria I use for selection of my next wife.
