I am a professional semi retired writer who lives in the Litchfield hills of western Connecticut. I have worn many hats over the years from educator to salesman to birdwatcher. One of the last jobs I held was as a co-owner of a business with my brother, Thomson & Thomson Travel Company, a Travel Incentive House, where I had the opportunity to travel all over the world and experience a great deal. My eldest son, Michael Thomson, who is known in the family as Michael David, approached me and asked if I would be interested in putting down some of my experiences in a blog. He and his wife Geraldine along with a former co-worker have started a travel related e-business called Cruise To Cash. Their website is http://www.cruisetocashflorida.com. Somehow he talked me into it. So please take some time and read my short writings and let me know your thoughts or if you have any questions.
