Back From Alaska - A Destination Training

Podcast Number One-hundred-six

Lorene returns from her Alaska Cruise that was sponsored by Cruise and Travel Agent Only. The cruise focused on ports of call training for the travel agent. Various visitor and convention bureaus hosted the travel agents around the different ports of call.

Lorene snapped a photo in Glacier Bay. She takes credit for snapping the shutter on the camera but takes no credit for the beauty in the picture.

The second photo is of Lorene and Gayle with the glacier in the background.

Barry talks about his visit to the Crystal Mountain Resort in northern Michigan and also discusses his trip to Manhattan and the challenges of the past two weeks.
