Baden, I'm with you. I have received serveral emails that say someone has commented on the Older and Bolder page, but heck if I can even find where they are commenting.

Christina, sounds like you have done this quite a bit. I am interested in learning how you got started and where you got all your info. Do you keep you home in Florida while you are away or have you gone to an apartment?

- Hi Esther,
Check out Holland American/Grey Line Tours & Princess Tours. You could learn to drive a bus and be a tour guide. These two companys train you and help you get your commercial license. Then there is the Alaska Railroad and Denali National Park. We just did a cruise to Alaska and really enjoyed Juneau & Skagway. Hope you find what you are looking for.

I'm on vacation for the next week, so I might not answer right away, but go ahead and ask anything. I'll be playing in Waikiki and Vegas...
