Description
The key interest in the book is the interaction between tour group members on escorted tours, the destinations we visited and my, as a tour manager, view of it all. It is based on real
experiences and real people.
The book is not chronological and can be read a little at a time or front to back. It is somewhat a travel log. Camels to Caviar helps you look at situations adventures and the people I dealt with from Kathmandu to Timbuktu. It portrays thirty years of my tour managing exotic and adventurous experiences. I also write of the personal growth as I worked through these tours. Nothing was ever the same and the learning curve was there up to my day of retirement. It became a lifestyle, living in a cocoon of self banishment. The characters and names are real as are the travel incidents. If it werent for all the norms, personalities, unknowns and disasters; the flights, cruise ship calamities and hotel horrors, there wouldnt be Camels to Caviar.
You will read about:
tanks surrounding our hotel in Lima
altitude sickness at Mt Everest,
scenery
foods and cultures around the world
how a tour manager performs, how I handle the behind the
scenes procedures
the psychology and behavior of passengers and myself
romances on the road
sunset in the Sahara
Cambodia after Pol Pot
Mr. Bill in New Zealand
the Maharaja of Baroda
interesting and outrageous passengers
snip its of the countries we traveled in
royal family shockers
I give you a vision of the fun and adventure during an escorted tour, as well as an insight to the personalities and unexpected circumstances. This all truly happens on escorted tours around the world. You will be amused and surprised in this tell all of how a tour manager functions during a tour and some of the almost breaking points of our glamorous job.
Working on cruise ships brought a different type of tour group
dynamics and demographics. What happened on board gave tour
managing a different edge. I hope this will give you an insight to the intensity, personal journey and joy of my tour manager career.
