I often take individuals, VIP�s or certain groups on trips to various parts of the world. For all intents and purposes, it�s baby-sitting, pure and clear. But some of the things I�ve been asked over the years have made me speechless. I�ve put those in my diaries over the years and continue to do so. Some are innocent, some�well..suggest that the individual hasn�t a clue where they are or what they�re doing!
On board the QM2. Bill, what time is the midnight buffet?

A: Only twice Mrs Wilson, but they�ve now replaced the plug.

For a group of Americans who were on their first trip to England. We�ve made a list: Stonehenge, Glasgow, Bristol, Leeds, and Hastings � would you please make a star on the �subway� map to show us where to get off?
I could go on�seemingly forever!
