I need a vacation!

Modern technology… just amazing.  Here I am on an jet that has wi-fi and I am posting to my blog.  I look out and see the coast of Florida as we head home to Massachusetts from our week long stay in Playa del Carmen and Poerto Morelas, Mexico.

It was sad to leave our last resort, Dreams Riviera Cancun.  Dick commented that when leaving the resort, they should give you a dry towel to wipe the tears away.  How true!  Upon our arrival we were welcomed with a moist, cool towel and a glass of champagne, so it would be very fitting for the staff to hand us a dry towel, and maybe a cold beer to cry in too.

Although this vacation is over (and what a GREAT time we had!!!), when we get home it will be time to think about our cruise that we go on in 11 days.  This will give us time to catch up on work, do the laundry and re-pack.  Last December we put together a group cruise on the Carnival Miracle, leaving Fort Lauderdale with ports of call in Colon, Panama, Costa Rica and Belize. Never having been to Panama and Costa RIca we look forward to the new experience.  And having been to Belize, we look forward to visiting again. This time with several friends who booked on their own YTB websites.

I found this quote on the internet and thought this would be a fitting way to end this blog:
“No man needs a vacation so much as the person who has just had one.” — Elbert Hubbard

Hi-Ho Hi-Ho, Its Off To Cancun We Go!

October 23rd, 2009 | By admin

So on October 17, 2007 we started our home based travel business. At first I didn’t do much with it other than book my own travel, but then the travel bug bit. I decided to do more with the business. I took YTB’s First Class training, (we actually were at the filming of it in Wood River IL), the 10 module’s of YTB’s eCampus to become a Travel Agent, along with at least a dozen classes vendors have offered.   The training I want to talk about now are the AMResort courses I took.  They taught me about the 3 brands that make up their properties, Zoetry, Secrets and Dreams.  I graduated as a Master Agent and registered on their website just for Travel Agents.  There I registered for a webinar introducing several new and soon-to-open resorts.  They promoted one attendee would win 3 free nights at a resort of their choosing.

Secrets Maroma Beach

Well, guess what… I won the 3 free nights for 2 and will be staying at Secrets Maroma Beach for those 3 nights. There are non-stop flights from Boston on Saturdays, so it made sense we should stay for a full week. Thinking it would be nice to check out another of their resorts in the area I chose the newest, Dreams Riviera Cancun.  AMResort was offering a special FAM (familiarization for Travel Agents so we can promote the property to our clients) rate along with the 3rd night free promotion because they just opened October 1st.  I’m actually embarrassed to say what we are paying for 7 nights in Cancun at these 2 beautiful 4-star all-inclusive resorts.  Food, drinks, snorkeling, kayaking, non motorized water sports, golf, entertainment are all included. I couldn’t stay in Boston for a weekend for the price I got!

What started out as a what-the-heck do-it-for-my-own travel has turned into a business I have a passion for. Clients are finding great deals and booking on my website, Express Travel 4U. And now I’m visiting the places I have been reading about for 2 years. I’m looking forward to sharing my travel experiences with others. I’m so excited. I really can’t believe it. When I first bought my YTB travel website, never did I imagine it would turn into this.  Headed to Cancun this week, home for 11 days then off on a cruise to Panama, Costa Rica and Belize and hopefully Europe next year. And the 2 free cruises I have earned… that’s another blog for another day.

It’s a tough job, but somebody has to do it.  So it’s off to work I go.  Stay tuned for blogs from Cancun
