Living the Perfect Travel Agent Life
by Melody Fee

Well, I just finished jumping the "last hurdle" in planning OSSN's International Conference as I sent OSSN President Gary Fee off to the airport! And, as hard as it is to wrap up a busy conference and touring program for this great group, it is almost as hard to get him packed and out the door! I KNOW it is just as hard for every one of the attendees to prepare and schedule to take 10-13 days away from their businesses as well!

For all of the challenges of planning an event that hosts more than 100 people in a destination that requires so much preparation, it is sometimes just as difficult for ONE person to get themselves ready to attend such an event. So I applaud each of these OSSN conference attendees on their way to India for taking the huge effort to join us! Each one had many tedious tasks to accomplish before they ever reach India. Many of them I have traveled with on other OSSN events and conferences, and I know that they will have a fabulous time, despite the obstacles and the soaring temperature in India! These agents will be up at the crack of dawn (and sometimes in the middle of the night) more times that I am going to tell you, but they are willing to keep this pace for the sake of an experience that will enrich their careers and their personal knowledge. Again, we at OSSN really applaud their tenacious spirit! They are truly enriching their lives.
