Schedule for Damon Ramsey

For just completed trips and work history go to work history of Damon Ramsey.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: Due to covid, this schedule has been changed constantly. There has been many bookings and cancellations and re-bookings. Many companies have had to make multiple changes in their future itineraries. And even now in a post-covid'ish world there are problems with flights and bookings, so things continue to change. I will keep this as up-to-date as possible.
