Oh that's fun! My partner is on a biz trip to Hamburg and she dropped into their Maritime Museum to see if anything related to our above thrift-shop find is there.

She saw some pieces from the ill-fated ship's porcelain collection. Neat!

I saw an ad, “Become a Travel Agent for $99”. How hard can that be I thought? My first office was small. How small? The front closet of our home. In 2017 Travel Leaders honored us with their two top awards, the “Golden Legacy Award” and “Agency of the Year”. That same year our national conference was the largest ever. We hosted 51 travel partners, and 225 agents. With sales north of $65 million and the growth of our agent network reaching 2,000+, it was time to make succession a priority.
