| Three Group Trips Announced for 2007, and Two More to Go!! So far we've announced plans for three trips in 2007, including: Europe (Italy, France, Spain and Croatia) via our 12 Day Mediterranean Cruise on the Carnival Freedom..... Bermuda, via 5 day Cruise from New Jersey on Royal Caribbean...... and Hawaii, via 7 day Cruise from Honolulu on Norwegian Cruise Lines . Well that takes care of our 2007 CRUISES, but what about our "LAND" trips? I am excited to announce that we are going to be publishing our trip to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil VERY shortly, by next week. So be on the lookout for this. You will not believe how incredibly inexpensive this trip is going to be. And what's best about it -- it will INCLUDE AIRFARE from 2 major cities!! You will be able to secure this package with only a short amount of money down, and pay it off in several installments. Details are forthcoming. Our Orlando Getaway in June is going to also be better than ever, because we will be offering the opportunity to rent your own TOWNHOME with PRIVATE POOL, or share a LUXURY VILLA with other friends / families. We will also be offering packages that INCLUDE theme park tickets. The dates on this 6th Annual trip by the way, is June 23-30, 2007. This announcement is going out in September as well. We have decided NOT to plan the Palm Springs spa retreat for 2007, simply because the weather in Palm Springs during the summer is a little torturous, and we don't want to subject the friends to the desert heat in the middle of Summer. Any other time frame, is considerably more expensive, and so we are going to postpone this trip for now... but we will continue to watch it, and possibly offer it at a later date. Don't forget to sign up for our 2007 Brochure if you haven't done so already! We've received over 150 requests in the last month!! Have a great start to the New Service Year, and as always, Happy travels.... |
Scares and Alerts: How You Can Fly Safely Like all of you, I too am concerned about the recent concerns surrounding air travel. I send hundreds of people each year on airplanes, and each time, I worry and I fret. Now with all of the recent things that have happened with ComAir, and with the terrorist threats, it's no wonder why people are concerned! Unfortunately, there is no sure cure to these woes except for the "permanent cure" that we await in the New System of Things (Rev. 21:3,4). But in the meantime, we still have to take precautions and travel as safely as possible. In perspective, the crash that occurred recently on ComAir was the 1st major airline crash to occur since 2001. Considering how many planes fly each day, that is a good statistic! We also have to allow PLENTY OF TIME at the airports when checking in, because of stricter security measures. Comply with the TSA rules, and be very cautious of your surroundings in the airport and on the plane. Always leave information with a loved one when traveling (i.e., flight information, where you will be staying, and your cell phone number). I still believe that air travel is the safest way to travel, despite the stories that are broadcast over the news channels so often. During these critical times we're living in, nothing is sure, foolproof OR safe. Not even your own car. So if you are ever in an emergency situation, REMAIN CALM, and LISTEN to those in charge. And I wish all of you (and myself too!) safe travels in the coming year. U.S. GOVERNMENT'S TRAVEL WEBSITE |

Travel News Alaska Approves New "Head Tax" for Cruises!! Beginning with the 2007 Cruise Season, Cruise Passengers visiting Alaska will have to kick in an extra $50 per person in taxes! Alaskans voted by a margin of 52% to 48% in favor of the new tax law, entitled "Ballot 2". Needless to say, Cruise Lines are fighting this vote, and are hoping to have it reversed. But in the meantime, if you plan on visiting Alaska by cruise ship in 2007, be prepared to kick in some extra money!!! |
Pictures from Orlando Getaway '06: Saved from destruction!!! It seems that everytime I go to Orlando, I come away with a wild experience! Usually it's at the Beach when we take the Group to Clearwater Beach at the end of our week. Well this year was no different. I wanted to get pictures of the friends IN the turquoise waters of Clearwater Beach, and so I went and walked into the waters, thinking I was stronger than those little waves! Little did I know that my young nephew would be standing there, with no floaties on his arms, about to get "wiped out" by an oncoming wave, or as I call it, the "tsunami" HAHA. So me, being the great Auntie that I am (thank you very much!), goes to grab him up before the wave hits him, and my camera gets hit by the wave instead! So basically...... WATER + DIGITAL CAMERA = PAINFUL ELECTROMAGNETIC SHOCK UP THE ARM! Result? CAMERA GOES BYE-BYE! I threw it and it landed down in the ocean. I figured the camera was ruined, all pictures lost. But... thankfully my memory card was not damaged. So what I'm trying to say is.... SORRY FOR THE DELAY IN GETTING THESE PICTURES OUT, but I honestly thought they were ruined! I know the trip was 3 months ago. But hey, at least we've got some! So click below and enjoy! You'll notice, they STOP at the beach! hahahaha Pictures from 2006 Orlando Getaway |
