Let's start at the very beginning
25 years is a long time to be in any business, and there are countless wonderful memories. There is a disadvantage, however - when we started, there was no Internet, no e-mail, no social media, no blogging! I can hear the younger generation saying, "How ever did you manage?"
Well, we used printers for our brochures and the post office to send itineraries to our clients; we went to the library to research every new destination and we accumulated a mini library of our own, filled with travel books from around the world.
But we must have done something right because many of our clients from those early days are still traveling with us to-day! We have taken escorted tours to many countries across the globe, from Ecuador and Galapagos, to Peru, Chile, Brazil and on to Europe where we have cruised extensively, then to Turkey, Croatia, Russia, China, Vietnam, Bali.............and beyond.
As time marched on, we, together with most of our clients, have journeyed into Internet, e-mail and social media together and now we also wonder how we ever managed without such a wealth of resources at our fingertips. But the speed at which this whole scene is racing along is sometimes hard to keep up with: we have a website and we are on Facebook and now we are very timidly dabbling our toes in the world of blogging, this being our maiden voyage! We are sure to improve as we go along and we invite our friends to interact with us on our blog: share your journeys which you have undertaken with Pannell's Tours, tell us what destinations are still on your bucket list - and let's learn about blogging together.
