Fall Colors on the Scenic Byways of Colorado
June 2016

A funny thing happened on the way to TAP Dance in Duluth earlier this month:  we couldn't get there!  Temporary fog created by that magnificent lake grounded all flights, but did that stop travel professionals from across North America?  Of course not.  We chartered our own coach and were on our way!  And we even helped a few others reach their destination.  Read the wonderful testimonial posted by one of them on Facebook.
Oregon Trail in Nebraska
