| Sommario/riassunto: | The State of Alaska is endlessly in the national news--whether the news be political, adventurous, or simply a report on odd occurrences (of which our state seems to have an abundance). Director of the Tours is an attempt by the author to report on both humorous and touching stories relating to the more than one million visitors whom choose to visit Alaska aboard cruise ships each summer. Thirty-five stories concern the author's interactions in unique situations during his ten years of leading guests on mostly five and six day land tours. These tours stretch from Seward, in South Central Alaska to the Alaska interior city of Fairbanks. Another 11 stories relate to events occurring in winter, when we tour directors are encouraged to jump on board any cruise ship (space available), anywhere in the world--and get a feel for what our guests get to experience on these luxury liners. The author hopes you will enjoy these stories. |
