After a successful career in the restaurant and real estate business, James "Jim" Lorden had his feet up and was relaxed when a comedian friend called.
His friend Tom Drake was launching a travel agency and needed someone with a solid business background and excellent organizational skills to keep Tom on the straight and narrow!
So, Jim put his feet down and agreed to help his crazy comedy friend.
Jim will ensure you have the proper paperwork on time and all the information you need to enjoy your holiday vacation. Stress-Free.
Words Jim never wants to hear are "My travel agent never told me."
