The view of Monument Valley from Gouldings Lodge
Summer is in full swing and for almost anyone in the tour business, this is when you make your bank. The “In” season when you have more work than you can accept. For me, that’s April to October and that’s what’s happening now and why there have not been any new episodes. But no time for excuses, we are back and here is another new podcast I hope you enjoy.
Recently I finally had a break for a few days and actually caught another break when I ran into another tour buddy of mine who wanted to catch up on a few things. Marty MacIntosh joins me on this podcast where we pretty much just ramble on a series of tour topics, opinions and updates.
