O’Day’s Travel Woes #49

June, 1995: This was a relatively quiet month for me – only two trips.

The first was to the charming little town of Elora, Ontario (Canada), where Pat. St. John arranged for me to come to conduct my Air Personality Plus+ seminar for the program directors of Power Broadcasting. I arrived late at night and left the next afternoon, so (as usual) I did not get to soak in much of the locale.

Elora Mill Inn

We met at the Elora Mill Inn. If you’re ever looking for a romantic place with a spectacular view, this is it. The rooms are furnished Victorian-style; mine had a big four-poster bed.

As I unpacked my suitcase I was surprised to hear an air conditioner running. Walking to the far wall to turn it off, I found no A/C controls.

Instead I looked out the window and saw the source of the noise: the gorgeous waterfalls of the Grand River, 100 feet below my room.

In addition to the scenery, the Inn serves a great mushroom soup.

At the seminar’s conclusion, I made the one-hour drive back to Toronto Airport, flew to Chicago, collected my bags, walked underneath the terminal to the Airport Hilton Hotel, checked into the hotel, went to my room, and climbed into bed.

Six hours later I awoke, showered, dressed, checked out, walked back to the airport, and caught a 6:00AM flight to Grand Rapids, Michigan, where I conducted an air talent seminar for Tom Marshall and the crew at WKLQ (a return visit for me).

Then it was back to the airport, fly to Chicago and catch a plane back home to Los Angeles.

Just another typical, glamorous trip.

Next: I wear a tuxedo. Really.
