Message from our Board Chair

Hello my friends in travel!

My travel club co-director Brenda Reicks and I just got back from a FAM trip to Greece! It was amazing but the long flight is always killer. Add in a 10-hour unplanned layover on the way home and that equals losing an entire day to sleep. Yes, I slept for almost 18 hours when I finally got home. My husband wasn’t sure I’d ever wake up! 😊

What are some of your tricks to surviving long flights and layovers? Especially now when we are masked it can present certain challenges. I’m glad I brought plenty of extra masks so I could switch out for a fresh mask as needed! I’m glad I thought to bring a toner spray that helped me feel refreshed when switching to a fresh mask.

We also upgraded our seats on the 11-hour flight to Athens which was wonderful and much more comfortable, and luckily, we were able to do so on the way home too. The extra space was welcomed and made for a more enjoyable flight. And I didn’t do any work, I just relaxed and watched movies or read. That definitely helped make the time go faster.

Brenda and I are looking forward to booking a trip to Greece for our customers! It was a good experience for us to fly again and know what to expect when the time comes to travel with our group again!

I hope you are all getting registered for the Peer Group conference. Hard to believe it is only three months away. Can't wait! Check out the Pre-Fam and Monday Sightseeing Tour details in the links below.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
