Glenn's Story

Life Hey all..how the hell are ya's all! This is a short bio(!) of after 1980. Went to NLU..hated it. Joined a frat..(TKE). Loved it. In this time i got my first taste of restaurant work with Doyle Jeter at Enoch's Cafe. Moved to Colorado in "83" on my holiday and refused to return after a small stint at the Denver School of Hotel Management. Back to Monroe in 84 with no direction. Went to Louisiana Business College and graduated in 85 with a Travel and Tourisim degree. They loved me. They asked me to come and teach Travel and Tourism courses there; the same ones that I just a year earlier learned. I was also employed with American Eagle Airlines at the same time from 85 to 87. Moved to New Orleans for Royale Airlines as a "do all for all everything" I then in 1988 and then moved back to Monroe in Spring 87. Spent the next three years between S'port and Monroe in an drug-enduced haze and finally got my crap together. December of 1990 would find me with a "headhunted" opportunity from a travel agency in Washington,DC. Off I went in January, 1991 and I soon became the lead travel manager for Carlson Travel Network and in charge of personal travel needs for the Marriott family!!!!

nged forever. He departed from from the US in 1994 after his posting was finished. After many discussions it was clear that my life was meant to live abroad. I moved (forever) to Oslo in spring 1995 and then we were off to Lagos, Nigeria in 1995. Two years later in 1997 I found myself in Vienna, Austria. Yuck. We left Vienna in May 2000 and were plopped down (no choice) in Islamabad, Pakistan. What a wonderful...WONDERFUL experience to live there....our most favourite posting yet. In 2004 we left Pakistan...(boo hoo) and moved to Oslo where we've bought a wonderful apartment. Now...we are living in Hanoi, Vietnam. In all of the years of this travelling i've found myself in the most weird and wonderful placed on the planet. I've now been to 32 countries and have had the pleasure to work for the UN and the British government. What a life. I've got loads more to say..but this is about the quick of it. Currently living in Viet Nam with a wealth of information about the world that you would never believe. Cheers to all of you and hope that you will just send a quick note to tell me what tha' heck you all are doing. ADDENDUM FEB 1 2008...just found out during Christmas holidays that we have been posted to Beirut, Lebanon for the next three years....hooray! More interesting stories to come!
