INTRODUCTION
We love to travel! We took our first trip together in 2001 and have travelled once a year since. With the exception of the first two years, we have travelled internationally. Any location in the world is fair game as long as it is safe.
As a way of brief introduction, we met while teaching special education in Montgomery County, Maryland. After a trial trip
in 2001, we found that we travelled well together because we had similar interests and philosophies. Our goal is to keep travelling until either time or money run out! Even though Janice has relocated to North Carolina and Jamee has branched out beyond special education, we make yearly travel a priority.
We like to tour with groups so that we don’t have to spend lots of time planning. We have met many people who have travelled much more extensively than we have. At the same time, we have discovered that many people marvel at our level of preparation and organization. So we decided to share our time tested travel tips with others so that they could benefit from our experience. Our tips are mainly for people who travel internationally although many of the hints are universal for all types of journeys. Even though we tend to tour with groups, the advice is for all types of travel.
Here’s to organized travel,
