but you know what it was entertainment it was sheer beautiful blissful entertain good good i'm glad to hear everyone enjoyed it yeah you know that's what it's all about entertaining you know and you've traveled a lot absolute and some of the places you've been  who are the prisoners are really the guides now because it was the only job they can get so they're explaining their torment and whatever i was drenched in tears i couldn't believe that you have to go absolutely an amazing experience just blind and sharing that hello and i turned around they said come and join us for coffee i said that's great so i went in and i had i wanted to know what was it like it was an interracial couple so i wonder what was it like living and you're working on the whole experience and it was just fabulous and next to her after i finished with them but this girl was painting this mural of the history of and i said it's a twenty four seven painting because people can see in twenty four hours at each stage she was actually one of them so you have to go there was a mexican restaurant it's amazing it's all about the advocate a backstage you know because people don't really understand and they have never done it you know and they're young so they don't even know how to say thank you absolutely and that's important absolutely and they're not learning that in school exact so i figure i've been in this business for forty plus years so i should share what i've learned and that's what the little black book backstage etiquette is all about absolutely you know and you know you've performed and gotten several awards and talk about some of your ward's oh goodness gracious so i got a tony nomination for smokey joe's cafe one of the chicago chicago's jefferson award and i also had a organization called leading ladies just for teens and there were some and i said i held for teenage girls empowerment while i was doing smokey just cafe and i corporations are dying or whatever you have you need to have a drive and an aspiration and inspiration to get out and perseverance is important absolutely and a lot of times women over fifty have had dreams before right and then they got married or whatever right and they still have not really really reached that dream or goal or whatever so at to now what is giving them permission to do anything they want to going to do some some when i was with that fabulous and were you doing the seminar so i'm going to read you my first one who i'm so glad you asked i'm going to do my first one in florida it's going to be next spring but they also in south africa want me to do one so we're looking into the lamb explosion i haven't decided you know whatever i do but they have some great five day cruises that actually go there and stay overnight two nights so that's nice and then it goes to i think it goes to the bahamas and then back into florida  off running to the next one and so forth you know it's but the best way to do it i think when you go in to greece is to fly into athens then take those ferries across the line steamships there were absolutely i mean that's what they like cruise liners while i absolutely can exactly now yeah exactly so this is what it's all about absolutely and you have another book i understand i do it's called the little black book of audition etiquette i don't even know what you know then i also have one call counting ravioli and one book no zero it's called counting ravioli because a couple of years ago you know everyone thinks theater is just wonderful one of but it's not sometimes you have those years that are kind of hard right and i had a few of those years and one day i had a beautiful brownstone in harlem and i had my own business but everything was collapsing and i found myself standing in front of my stove counting ravioli to make sure i had enough to eat for the rest of the week wow and i stood there going oh my god i've accomplished so much but being in the business that i'm in right now i'm literally standing here trying to make sure the have enough food right so i said well that could be my memoir ups and downs that title yeah you know it's really great and it's such a you know it's such a volatile business oh my god and it's such an emotional thing absolutely your whole life can change with a phone call oh yeah you know i mean one day you're not doing anything and next day someone saying hey you want to star on a cruise ship it's now which you're thinking it's a narrative my travel around the world i have interspersed photos and recipes to whet your appetite and allow you to dream discover and we discover these great destinations the title came about while i was in college is more than five hundred pages exploring the worlds remember my world is your world so get up get out and travel and i'm sitting here with crystal hart who has a wonderful show here at i mean it's all about boxing we're going to talk about your wonderful trips to iraq what oracle because you got there twice and you've met this family tell me about the family but first of all  in case you want to know what the flag looks like here here are the colors the red with the red with the green and it's morocco is in northern africa and  it's to get their flu from j f k to casablanca and for anybody who's going to flaw i there are the casablanca was put on one of the lists as far as coming back to the united states you couldn't bring your electronics you had to leave the batteries yes and they all had to be stored underneath the airplane so i mean i was glad i found out ahead of time because as you know we have cameras in and all types of different mall on facebook actually and ever since then you know we communicated we communicate almost every day so now there's so much of a family they are my family so they've sort of taken their place in a certain way and it's such a now it's wonderful everybody has you know which i think it's wonderful you also had a chance to go to fail on this excursion yes on this excursion i went to fairs it's you know you can take the train absolutely lost in the souks there which i think is just so fascinating so fascinating and we stayed in the old see there's the old city in a new city i think that maybe you had stayed maybe in a newer section  area has become like a medical turf spot because they have these hot springs that really go back to maybe the sixteenth century and they've been tested they have so much minerals calcium breaks up kidney stones and these are different things that the have been sort of documented so i mean i can't say for sure if it's going to clear you medically but it has become a medical t area and that in that area matter of fact where the water was that's where i was writing one of the horses and i also had a chance to get on a camel so i mean you can't leave morocco without you go to those corporate factories it's amazing how they were the nimble little fingers in me that it's you know make those wonderful carpets and you have that experience of going into one of those factories yes yes it's amazing just amazing art and also the factory where they have the skins for coats right yes and that was really quite amazing because you you had all all those vats yes yes yes exactly that was that's who is going to be opening a ride right in in the desert so that's a rather one of the like a hotel oh i see a little hotel and that's and they have a different business model there because she said is i go to watch the real madrid against barcelona here's messi i was in a cafe and that was like a real highlight of my trip i  have them and so it's an experience that i keep wanting to do again and again well the nice thing is that you're going back and you're experiencing a family or your family and it's it's you know it's amazing how people in keep one another you know they hold people into their lives for a reason and a reason is because of love and hope and love of life i'm sitting here with david sano and he has been a partner  many many trips around the world i was going to share some of those wonderful expire so david let's talk about some of the great places we banned what was being what's been your favorite my favorite well i really like the oh yeah that was a lot of fun there twice experience new year's i think twice all the while dancing yeah and people wearing masks and you know strange attempts at christmas trees they had a regular tree inside the hotel lobby which was supposedly a christmas tree but that's ok i thought it was a christmas tree well didn't look like one to me but you know that was really interesting because they celebrated it a little differently didn't they oh sure and and  wonderful country oh yeah i mean the food fantastic and the people are great we had you know going to the ruins of carthage yeah that was really great propose you know you have history as well as great food other place in the world has and i know you love brazil so when you get down there you unwind in come out of a shell if it's even possible of you to come out of your shell more than you do but in brazil you're sort of very much rooted it seems so and i feel this you know similarly i mean it's very relaxing there and vibrant so like i want to do nothing this is the time to relax well sometimes that happens that one trip coolers of beer or you know like a plastic basin of pretzels i mean maybe they can't do that anymore but i remember growing up this is what it was so it was a lot of business going on in the bush not like he probably about not knowing that that's a circus right but think about it i mean we had the you know we had supper and my favorite was when the man came along with that many barbecue the cheese yeah you had the little the cheese kind of sticks or skewers that he grilled right on the beach there are amazing yeah so things like that really you know add to the good times yeah the flavor of the country is absolutely and also we've been to many other places along the way we back to recently back in fiji yes we did mean the people you're traveling with i mean you bring a lot of energy to the table i mean to you yeah you know you're just a very friendly open person so that's a great thing to be when you're a traveler because then you sort of break that ice and get to experience other people tell them stories they tell you stories right and at the end of the day i mean this is a deeper travel experience i mean we can sort of be you know to ourselves and read a guide book and you know go from place to place but at the same but if you bridge that gap and start to communicate with the people who you're meeting in another country and you know learn from their experiences you know their stories right tell your own i mean it just makes it that much more of a deeper connection it's cool sharing it is yeah so i've always so that's one of the things that enjoyed about traveling with you is that you are gregarious and you'll break that ice and  should say but then we met on that trip and then ok you know and i like you know people so you know the funny thing i was thinking about years ago when i was a tour operator and i asked people if they had any you know british no totally different yeah that was that was another great one because that was right there on lake como i mean this old grand hotel with a grand tradition that we were able to partake in the to that will be will be able to share that experience with the audience and i think you know as i say my world is your world so it's the fact that we're all here together in one big globe yes and the more we know about it  prejudice there is absolutely you know people need to be able to understand other cultures other people and also to accept them for whatever they are absolutely well that's that's one of the first things i discovered when i first traveled i mean i went to italy and when i was seventeen and you know you just have this new perspective when you come back oh yes about everything exactly and it's you know something that i think everyone should experience just to have a sense ability about
