The 'Teeter' is the one on TV, but yes mine is basically the same thing. I got mine at Sam's Club (with the membership of a friend) for $157 and change out the door. Teeters start at over $200.

Ive gotten a few lines on the paper however still looking for the correct wording as to draw attention and excitement towards the Teardrop Guided Tours.

If any of you are writers by nature your ideas are welcome..

Tomorrow is the day I stand in front of a 10 to 20 person panel of Executives and Officials.. so my knees are shaking .. :lol: :lol:

And Im sort of nervous and a little stressed if I say so myself..

Ive given a presentation in front of an audience of 7000 plus Tv viewers a few times but nothing to this sort that involves me directly..

Yikes..

This sounds great Cap'n. Question, I think Scott asked, maybe I wasn't paying attention, but is this like a rental thing, or do you plan to go with as a guide? Is it like a convoy or are you just going to turn 'em lose with a tear and a map? I'd love to do something like this, it would be a couple of years away though. Then I'll have 3 weeks of vacation to play with. Oh one more question, what are the lenghts of the trips?

Well Ive got somthing here now on this but ... can you take a look at it and comment? :? In the Brochure I have selected a few scenic photos
and for the Main Tour of the MidSummer North Cape as well as Photos of the Tear with galley, interior and sleeping space.

Classic Teardrop Tours By Far North
Scandinavia


Are you looking for a new idea for traveling and enjoying Nature,s Beauty in Finland & throughout Scandinavia? Are you tired of paying high prices for gasoline to enjoy your fully equipped modern day full sized Caravan?

Would you like to travel to places that you may not be able to reach with your Modern and Full sized Caravan?

We have a concept for you to enjoy your camping closer to Nature and without emptying your wallet while doing so..

Is this new? The answer is no. We would like to take you back to the Early Days of Vintage
Camping. Does this interest you? If so we have the means of providing you with an economical and fully equipped little vintage caravan named the Teardrop ..

What is it? What is better than sleeping on the hard ground in a possibly wet floor with cold and damp
camping gear after a nights rain.

The Teardrop is an economical and compact equipped little trailer with everything you need.
A completely dry, warm but yet comfortable means of lodging. Light enough to be able to be towed
with the smallest of automobile.

The weight is not more than 750 Kilo.

You also have the means of cooking at your own leisure, or stopping for a refreshing cup of coffee at mostly anytime & place without the stressful life of checking into a filled restaurant or gas station to enjoy a few minutes of leisure & rest.

Our teardrop trailers are in sizes of 4 feet by 8 feet or 5 feet wide by 10 feet in size.The galley is equipped with a small compact stove, cooler/fridge to carry your food & beverage in a safe and cool storage.

Also it can be equipped with a water container to support your small cooking and washing needs.

Is this possible in such a small space? The answer is yes.

Also to your convenience our tears are equipped with 12 volt or 220 power hookup. Also you can find a stereo and tv center for your evenings or to keep the children occupied while you cook or just
lean back to relax.

So our question for you is: Does this interest you? Does this excite you in any way?

Not only can we supply you with economical means of lodging without the costly Hotels or Motels.

But in addition to this we can provide you with an enjoyable & relaxed and interesting scenic guided tour throughout Finland & Sweden including North Cape the Northern Most Location of Beautiful Norway easily accessed by means of automobile. The view being of Mystical and Breathtaking Beauty.

Our guides are professional with schooling in the field of Guiding Groups wether small or large.
Routes can be planned in advance to your wishes or liking.

Or we can provide you with carefully selected scenic locations or destinations that we think may be of interest to you. Our tours can be made for the avid Fisherman. Hiker, or Canoist
or Nature Lover. We do recommend for you to take along a camera to take memorable photos of the Excotic and Beautiful Country of Finland, Sweden & Norway.

On our Tours we can also provide you with your own Professional Chef to prepare you with Outdoor Scandinavian Cuisine and as well as Live Musical Entertainment featuring some famous
Scandinavian Troubadours around a crackling fire in the evening hours.

For your next adventure in Scandinavia make your plans & reservations with

Heikki, a little public speaking trick, if you're giving a speech, is do not look directly at your audience. You make them think you are by looking at the top of their heads. Now, if someone asks you a question, direct your answer straight back at them, one on one, not to the audience.
You'll be fine, Mate.
Cheers
Paul :thumbsup:

Good Questions..

In the beginning The tours we hope to start Beginning end of April till Late Fall.
The cost of the tours are presently being planned and calculated. The cost will be determined on the amount of people participating and upon the amount of tears we expect to start up with, this may limit the number of people and have a bearing on cost of the tours.

Reservations and Inquiries can be made via the Internet, Telefax or Email. We will be having a Website before any tours start. And of course by telephone during opening hours..which will be from 0830 - 1700 Monday thru Friday Saturdays 0900 - 1500
Sundays - Hours Pending.

Capn.. :roll: :thinking: :roll:
