Full Circle of Gratitude Tour to Laughlin
June 30 through July 1
$99 per person/double; $129 per person/single
As some of you may know, my first tour ever was to Laughlin in June 1981—40 years ago. I was in my early 20s and loved my job “serving seniors.” Well, now I am a senior myself, and my last tour as the owner of Free Spirit Vacations and Events will be to Laughlin on June 30 through July 1, 2021. Free Spirit has come full circle.
This date is significant, as I will be the owner on day 1 of the trip, and Suzanne Hagberg will be owner on day 2 of the trip. We will be passing the baton at midnight!
It has been a great ride, and I am so grateful! I am grateful for the Free Spirit team, for Free Spirit guests, and for the many colleagues and partners I have worked with throughout the years. I hope you will join us in Laughlin to celebrate and get to know Suzanne. Other Free Spirit team members will be there too. We would be honored to have you join us!
