How about starting your own business as a Group Leader. One of best books on this subject is How to Organize Group Travel for Fun and Profit. There are many organizations in your back yard i.e.: Church Groups, Women's Organizations, Seniors Groups that want to travel together but need someone to organize and lead trip. That someone could be you.

4) Be a Speaker:

Many of cruise lines are looking for programs to present to their passengers. If you have experience and can present a program of general interest. You're welcome to cruise for free. Often you're able to bring along a guest (and often even your family) for free as well. Far and away finest book written about this topic is The Complete Guide to Conducting Seminars At Sea by Mary Long. Mary conducts seminars around country you can check on her schedule at http://www.seminarsatsea.com. Mary is world's authority on conducting seminars at sea.

5) Are You Entertaining:

Call you agent and get him to book you on next cruise to your favorite destination. Not only will you travel for free, you'll make a few bucks. What, you don't have an agent? OK, same links that are listed for Get a Job will work for Performance Jobs as well. Tune up your fiddle, or guitar or whatever and head for high seas.

Conclusion

There you are, rest is up to you. Each of these suggestions will apply to different folks with different interests but all of them will work. All I ask is for you to send me a card and tell me how it worked for you. Bon- Voyage

Experts say that Trusted Traveler program won't appeal to everyone. Those who fly infrequently won't need to go through rigorous background checks necessary to be labeled a trusted traveler, and those with something to hide or those with concerns about privacy won't want government checking their bona fides. For frequent travelers, however, program could mean valuable minutes saved, hassles avoided, and a smoother airport experience.

For now program is just an idea; Air Transport Association is working on a proposal for Transportation Security Administration and Homeland Security Department that it hopes will put a 90-day pilot project at Northwest and Midwest Express using already-screened airline personnel into operation by end of year. If all goes according to plan, Trusted Traveler program could be in place at Northwest by mid-2003.
