Gum on the sidewalk and other casualties of summer.

Yesterday afternoon I stepped on a piece of chewed gum on the sidewalk. It was my 3rd time this summer to get this stuff on my flip-flops and white slacks as I strung it along for my next few steps.   People, please toss your gum in the nearest trash recepticle, or at least do what my grandmother did and wrap it in a tissue. Please.

Melted gum on the sidewalk is a casualty of a hot Texas summer.   Other casualties include lipstick left in your car (actually, anything left in your car) and spring blooming plants.  Surviving the summer are folks heading to Alaska  and the snow-cone vendor on Taylor Street.

If you’re like many of my clients, you’re already thinking about cooler days (and those crisp nights!) that await us in the next few weeks.  Fall destinations and tours which visit popular “leaf-peeping” spots are filling rapidly, so don’t wait for our first football weather to decide you want to see the leaves change this year! 

Speaking of football, our first two trips to tour the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium were incredibly exciting and successful.  We’re offering a cooler-weather option for those who missed out on our earlier trips on Tuesday October 6.  Go with me again and let me show you this incredible entertainment venue.  It’s the most beautiful large structure I’ve ever seen.  By the time we go, the season will be in full swing, so we’ll get to actually see the names on the locker-room spaces and the football turf surface will be installed.  Same price of $80 will get you motorcoach transportation, tour ticket, snacks and refreshments on our coach and a full lunch.  Sign up now and impress your friends! 

I’ve been busy this August planning for great getaways for the remainder of 2009 and for exciting departures for 2010.   Give me a call if you’re looking for something to do for Labor Day, or if you want to be on the list for our upcoming fall and holiday motorcoach tours.      For you individual travelers, there are lots of bargains out there in the travel industry.  Give me a call if you need to finish up your summer with a trip!

Having a great time, Wish you were here,
