I have lived in the Golden Belt area for 28 years and have been employed with American State Bank since November 2002 as the Coordinator for the American Eagle Club.  I love traveling and planning trips and feel so fortunate to have met so many fun people in my job.  The assistance that our club has received from the professional staff of Cheyenne Travel has made it possible to travel to Hawaii, Alaska, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, British Isles, China, and soon to Russia, thus storing up memories for a lifetime.

THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA & THE PEA BOATS OF SHEN NONG STREAM  The American Eagle Club recently returned from an indepth travel experience of China with an extension in Hong Kong.  China was experienced shortly after the Olympics and everything was at the peak of cleanliness and beauty.  Superlatives were everywhere with favorite activities being almost impossible to designate because there were so many.  Ancient sites, rural villages, and large cities were included, along with an extensive cruise on the Yangtze River and through the famous 3 Gorges.  In these photos American Eagle Club members relax "on" The Great Wall and get their feet wet "in" the famous Pea Boats of Shen Nong Stream.

AMERICAN EAGLE CLUB MEMBERS EXPERIENCE CHICAGO  Pictured in front of the city's famous Buckingham Fountain located in Grant Park, the group recently returned from an exciting experience that included extensive sightseeing, a lake dinner cruise, a traditional German meal at the famous Berghoff Restaurant, Chicago's original "deep dish" pizza at Gino's, the original Chicago hot dog, a trip to the top of the Sears Tower, and the cities major museums.

AMERICAN EAGLE CLUB MEMBERS EXPERIENCE IRELAND, ENGLAND, SCOTLAND & WALES  Krista Smith hosted an in depth tour throughout the British Isles for this American State Bank and Trust travel club.  In cooperation with Please Go Away™ Vacations 17 "bonus inclusions just for our select group" were added to an already outstanding travel itinerary, making a "travel treasure" that promises to be one long remembered by all who participated.  Anne Hathaway's Cottage forms the back drop of this group photo taken within the cottage's English garden.
