Tales From the Road


                              Vol. 1


                  True Short Stories About Life as a 
                       
Globetrotting Tour Guide


   Everybody has a story to tell. A story that they have   told and retold so many times that they have the   narration down to sound bytes and perfect timing. A   story that friends and family never tire of hearing. A   story that instantly captivates strangers. A story that

 guarantees a laugh or a "wow".


  I have a few such stories and here's why.


   My first 24 years were spent as the privileged

 son of a United States Diplomat. Before I was

 eight years old I knew how to say, "I'm hungry.

 When do we eat?" in English, Italian, German

 and Japanese because I had already lived in those     countries.


   The next 42 plus years were spent in the Tour

 and Travel business, first as an International

 Tour Guide and then later as the creator of

 innovative and successful sightseeing   

 companies in San Francisco and San Diego.


   So yes, over the years I have accumulated

 quite a large inventory of rich, colorful, unique and   provocative anecdotes and an occasional

 thought evoking homily.


  I recently realized that I had better start

 recording these portals to the past before they

 become a distant memory and are forever lost.

 This is the genesis for Tales From the Road, Vol. 1.


   Anticipating the inevitable question, let me

 guarantee to you that every story contained

 herein really happened just as I say it happened.


   I also want to give a shout-out to anyone who

 might have been on one of my tours. Drop me an   email, please. I'd love to hear from you.
