New Directions

It’s a new and exciting time as my passion for travel intersects with creating a new path for my life. 

 

Even when we think we are open to a new world, it is hard to step out of our comfort zone.  I took a big leap by leaving my warm cozy home at Screen Gems and settling in Nashville this year.   By doing that I committed to building a new space for both my inner and outer self.  

 

I did really well with the outer self.  I love the house.  I love Nashville.  I love my neighborhood.  I loved that part of my new life.

 

But I felt as if I faltered with the inner journey.  I didn’t write much.  I didn’t take any inward journeys.  I had some ideas and I mentally batted them around like beach balls.

Eventually they deflated.

 

Sometimes we have to be smacked right upside the head to understand the direction we should be pointed.  I got smacked!  By Teresa at Sail Air Travel.

 

After my gig as a travel coordinator for “Water For Elephants”, I had lunch with Teresa.

We, of course, talked about travel and I explained to her my plan (that is a loose term) to create specialty groups.   She knew then that we could form a great partnership.

 

In the last few weeks I have been learning the reservation system and trying to gleam all the knowledge I can from my fellow travel agents at Sail Air.  They are a warm, wonderful, giving group and I feel blessed to be allowed to work with them. 

 

I consider myself a veteran traveler but I had a lot to learn.  Secrets about traveling.

All of which I will share with you.

 

Keep an eye on this blog.  There are a lot of exciting things happening in my world and I want you all to be a part of it. 

 

Yes, I am still working in production (working on a Taylor Swift Special right now). My travel life is still being formed but I am available and able to help you make all your travel arrangements!  Please email me at jblair@sailairtravel.com

Hi Jen,

This sounds exciting. I haven't traveled around the US much and have always been curious about the Southwest (especially after reading Bean Trees).

I also have a $500 travel voucher from AA that expires in December. Do you have recommendations of places to go and when to travel? I just have to book the ticket by Dec and can use it anytime next year.

I'm open to other beautiful outdoorsy places in the US. I've been to Yosemite and have been looking at pictures of various National Parks.
