At age 13 I took a motor coach trip with my family from Detroit to Toronto Ontario Canada for the Caribbean festival known as Caribbana. Our church took 2 coaches of families on this 4-day journey and we stayed at the Holiday Inn on King. We visited the science center participated in the parade and learned about the islands that make up the Caribbean via direct exposure to its cultures and people. My parents both worked for Ford Motor Co. and could afford to take a family of 5 but there were those who were not so fortunate so we raised funds to take those that wanted to go. On that trip I fell in love with the hospitality/tourism industry because of how the hotel and our tour guides treated us.

Thank you for your support!
