I heard it through the grapevine - the saying originated when they laid the transcontinental telegraph line, connecting Washington, DC to San Francisco. People said the lines stretching across the landscape looked like grapevines, so when they received a message via telegraph, they said, "I heard it through the grapevine"

About

I have been a tour guide for 11 years. I lead adult/senior/multi-generational tours. I have a special skill for taking care of solo travelers, making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I encourage solo travelers to get to know one another and facilitate new friendships. I have a warm and approachable personality, and always a big smile. My great sense of humor puts everyone in a good mood. I say you can’t have a bad time when you’re laughing!

I have owned & operated my own businesses, all being customer service related. I always made “A” grades on service scores. I hired and trained close to 1,000 employees over the years. My biggest achievement in life was being able to give young people and others their first jobs in life, and the ability to have a positive impact on their careers throughout their life. Many of my employees have gone on to own their own restaurants, management careers, and more. Thirty years later, they still stay in contact with me. I am very proud of them.

Testimonials

From one of my guests: "Lorraine was a consummate communicator! She was knowledgeable, yet personable. Funny, yet professional. She made a wonderful effort to get to know everyone on the tour, and she made sure everyone achieved their personal goals from the tour. I can't imagine anyone juggling so many backgrounds, ages, and cultural differences in such a wonderful way".
