Tyler’s Mom says, “Tyler sure is having the time of his life traveling all over the place and doing whet he loves. He has become a very good traveler and has no problem getting around airports. Kind of funny because people think he is only about 10 years old and find it strange he is traveling alone (sometimes).”
