About: Dianne

My love of travel started in the sixth grade when I visited the ocean for the first time. After that there was no looking back. Over the years I've traveled at every opportunity, and in 2009 I started working for Valley Tours in Stillwater, MN as a tour director. I have much experience traveling myself, leading groups, and travel/tour planning. My desire going forward is to help people to see the world - to travel to places they've only dreamed about!

I guess today was preparing me for Island Time . . . . The security line at the airport was incredibly slow . . . Once we got to LA the hotel shuttle was slow . . . the waitress at the restaurant was slow . . .  But hey, it’s in the 60s and.
