July Newsletter

How's everyone's summer going?

Good?  Yay!

Mine's been a bit hectic but this past week I was off and at home for the entire week. I took advantage of the time to do some fun stuff as well as working on a few home projects. 

I went to a local minor-league baseball game and also tried kayaking for my very first time.... 

One of the questions I'm asked most often is if I ever get out and do any sight-seeing.  Yes, I do! 

Admittedly, not as much in the past year as previously, but I do still like to check out the local landmarks and various points of interest. 

I recently visited Duluth, MN for only my second time and went to the Lake Superior shore to see the Aerial Lift Bridge. 

 It really was quite impressive; if you have the opportunity, I highly recommend making the time to see this feat of engineering!

(If you can't see a specific pic I mention, I will be posting them on Twitter soon too!)

In my last newsletter, I mentioned my plan to raise my rates this coming September; that has been pushed back to October, following my Iowa trip. 

Why the delay? Because I have been touring both St. Louis and Iowa longer than my other destinations, so I feel it's fair to return to these areas one more time before the increase.  

 Once the new rate chart is posted, it will apply to any new bookings made from that point forward, for EVERYONE. 

The tours* below are NOT my complete 2021 schedule.

Keep in mind that there's a lot going on behind-the-scenes, which impact my tour dates.

Because I cannot predict the future, it's best to wait to share my plans until they're more than "kinda sorta tentative, assuming everything goes right in the world over the next month and THEN I should be able to say it's a definite maybe!" LOL. 

Ohio, Tennessee and Omaha: I do plan to return in Autumn or Winter 2021 but those dates are nowhere near "set" at this point. 

I'll share them as soon as they are.

(Please imagine me smiling with genuine sincerity shining from my eyes!) 

Those are the only other destinations which will be added to the dates posted here. 

Please.... do not waste your time or mine by wrting to demand or insist I visit any other cities this year. 

I did try to include an East Coast swing but it simply isn't feasible.  Polite requests are always appreciated; pushy or whiny behavior is NOT so understand that I won't respond.  :-)

Thank you all so much for your patience with my many changes! XOXOXO
