One last thing about the airports. USA Today had an article about Volunteer Aides helping confused travelers at the airports:
Last year, about 1,600 Travelers Aid volunteers — including many people who retired from the travel industry or love to travel — assisted some 6.5 million people at 25 airports, including Chicago O'Hare, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas/Fort Worth and Washington Dulles. That's up from around 4 million a year before 9/11, when travel became more difficult, says Travelers Aid CEO Ray Flynt.
God Bless them, because I just could not take that gig. You can find the rest of the piece here.
About Me
- Anne
- I am an HR professional, perennial student, and volunteer. I read all sorts of articles on personal finance and also the travel section and plenty of books and I will tell you all about them. I still believe "if you want to get something done, you ask the busiest person". I live in Glenview, IL.
Crowdrise is about online fundraising, event fundraising, volunteering and having the most fun in the world while doing it. Crowdrise is way more fun than anything else aside from being all nervous about trying to kiss a girl for the first time and her not saying something like 'you've got to be kidding me.'
