After retiring from the Army, where I served for almost three decades with an organization that was about more than self, I found something that could continue to continue to help others, but in a different way.  Before starting, I took time to be with my two children, both who have special needs, I thought back to the first time I traveled with my family when I was nine and the travels and adventures that I was now able to take my children. I was able to share those experiences, the memories and the legacy with them. Throughout my travels, but most especially since settling down, many families have shared with me their hardships of travel with their children because I walk in their shoes, with their aging parents, or with finding someone who will call them back and be there for them. What you will know is that you will have someone on your side, to be with you, to create wonderful memories for your family.
