[QUOTE="Pip, post: 190885, member: 6039"] I guess everybody's expectations are different about the 100 year tour, and that isn't a bad thing, either. I went down to Baltimore when the tour came through. I honestly had a good time. I actually came away from the event with a better understanding of the heritage and history of the company. I did learn some things that I never knew took place or how things had evolved from the early days of the company. I have to say, that I have a better appreciation of what the people before me dealt with on a daily basis. To put things in perspective for me was to view a glimps of where UPS came from to where it is today. Wifey was really impressed. We did a lot of eaves dropping on some of the older retired employee's war stories about how things was then. That in it's self was worth the trip. I guess in a corny way, I came away from the tour with a sense of pride and admiration for the company I belong to. We really didn't go for the food or the nicknacks we picked up. But, we did make up for it later, grabbed a hotel room for the night and had a great meal down in the Inner Harbor afterwards. Is the tour, lame? Could be. probably is. Could it have been handled differently? Probably. I guess it all depends on your expectations. [/QUOTE]
