TRAVELING WITH MY DAD
I wrote earlier that I was a little skeptical about traveling with just my dad for so long and so far. Now that we're back, I am so happy we had that opportunity. It was one of the best trips I have taken, and one I will never forget. My dad is an incredible man. He is one of the funniest and smartest people I know -- he is basically a walking dictionary -- and traveling together really brought those qualities out in him. We (especially he) made friends everywhere we went. He must have handed out a hundred of my business cards to everybody: grocery store cashiers, hotel clerks, and of course any pretty girl he saw. The guy has no problem talking to anybody. It's almost embarrassing -- I can't get him to stop! On the flight to Fiji there were three good- looking single girls traveling together. He reached in his pocket for my card as they walked down the aisle. I whispered, "Dad, please put my card back in your wallet. You are NOT going to just hand them my card. They'll think I'm an idiot, and desperate!" He said, "Oh no son, they won't think that at all." I realized I couldn't stop him, so I jumped up and went to the bathroom. But the man is a charmer. Sure enough he had them laughing at all of his jokes; then they got teary-eyed when he recited some of his poetry. I think I need to bring my dad on more trips! For more click HERE.
