ON A GROUP TOUR: IN THE ARMY NOW

Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and Cambodia in four days. 8 flights in 14 days. All this is an ambitious undertaking.

In joining a tour group you lose a great deal of independence. You are a prisoner of an itinerary. Up at 4:30 a.m. to catch that ferry. A plethora of morning out the door and on the bus at 07:00. But on the bright side of life as the song goes in “Life of Brian” you will see more than you could ever do on your own. Many details are taken care of so a tour can be a stress reduction experience. You are in the army now.

Forrest Gump stated “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’ll get and while an itinerary offers certainty who is in your group is a box of chocolates. Introverts may struggle with the forced socialization. Extroverts will delight.

NEXT: Who is leading the charge of the Light Brigade?
