But luckily, it's ending on a good note. A few weeks ago, I was invited out to Anaheim, CA to engage in a one-on-one interview for a Tour Manager position with Contiki Holidays, a Tour Operator that specializes in trips for clients between the ages of 18 and 35. If they like me, I'll be invited to participate in their Tour Manager Training School, which unfortunately comes at a price (the price being about $700). However, it's an eight-week training course that, I assume, will take us to virtually every destination their tours touch upon in North America. Upon successful completion of this course, a two-year contract is offered.
What will I need to accomplish this feat? Presenting a ten-minute speech on Walt Disney, and of course, a successful interview. All of this will take place on January 5 and 6, plane tickets and rental car are already booked. Everything is still up in the air, of course, but I have a good feeling about this. What would really be sweet is if I could juggle Contiki's tours with Holiday Vacations' part-time Tour Directing and attending travel shows. Everything remains to be seen. Oh yes, and Contiki offers tours to China and Southeast Asia that I hope to jump aboard on come the fall and winter.
For New Year's, it's looking to be a quiet, family-oriented event, with a Subway sandwich platter, a variety of wraps and chicken tenders, with a few variety of chips and dip to go along with it. It should be peaceful, and delicious.
I'm contemplating starting up a second blog that will be more for general rants, muses, and other stuff, and revert this one back to being strictly a travel blog.
Spurs are continuing to kick ass, naming the Lakers as their latest victims. I think they have a shot for the championship.
'Tis is late, and I need sleep. Until next time.
