For those of you who have been reading my blog, I thank you. I have had so many great responses. I had no idea so many of you would find this so quickly. Maybe you are passing it along to your friends. If that is the case, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.
It warms me to think that this is reaching so many of you and helping in some small way. Today I’d like to continue on with my travel business.
You’ve seen the products that we offer. I’ll mention them by name to refresh. We have our DreamTrips and that is the site to find over 16 trips a month that are preplanned and at the push of a button you can see where you are going and what is offered on the trip of a lifetime. We like to say “making memories of a lifetime, monthly.” See it here. We have trips of a lifetime- monthly.
http://www.TakeYourDreamTripNow.com
And next there is the LTC product. The leisure travel consultant package. This is where you can go to book your travel and save on airfare. An independent study shows we have the LOWEST prices 7 out of 10 times. And that my friends is nothing to shake a stick at. By know things will save you much time from surfing around all those other companies on your own. As I’ve said before you’ll want to check for yourself, but you will soon come to realize WE are the one stop shop. Take another look.
And this is also where you will find all those villas, condos and much, much more to stay in at over 60,000 locations worldwide. One low price for the entire week instead of per night. It’s crazy not to stay there.
http://www.BookYourTravelWithMe.com
And now there is another piece to this pie. You’ve seen how good the products are and no doubt you want to share that information with your friends, right. Then why wouldn’t you let us give you a referral fee each time you share with someone. Yes, it’s true. We share things all the time and don’t get paid for it. Say for instance someone likes the cell phone you are using and they ask you about it. You tell them everything it can do and show them your apps and more, but did AT&T or Verizon pay you for spreading the word. Short answer, NO.
But we do. Each time you tell someone about the great $49. cruise you took or the $419. Mediterranean Cruise you just got back from, we will pay you $20. I know don’t get so excited and quit your job yet. You are there yet, but you are on your way. Because this is just the tip of the iceberg. We have over 6 different ways to get paid.
This is our RBS or what we call our Representative Business System. We set you up in business for yourself. A business in a box if you will. We will give you three beautiful websites that you would not have any idea how to get this set up and have it working so efficiently. We have the best marketing and training right in your ‘back office.’ Don’t worry, I didn’t know what a back office was either. We are there to support you and answer any question you could imagine.

This system allows you to market the products and earn a referral fee each time you share one of them. Now don’t get me wrong. Not everyone will want to have a business and you don’t have to. We love our customers too.
But just so you know, I do this full time and I’ve done many networking businesses before and nothing has come closet to providing me with the fun, friendship and the team support that this has. And I haven’t even mentioned the income.
I could say so much more, but sometimes I stumble my words and I leave things out. This is much too important to forget one single thing. There fore I’m sending you to yet another link. This one will give you a video for you to watch and will give you our business overview. It will take around 25 to 30 minutes to watch it. But this is life changing material. Take the time and enjoy. See if this is something for you!

Near the top on the right hand side you will see a box that ask’s, “Are you preferred?” And if you’re not, click on that box and it will tell you how to sign up and what you get. And the best part, it’s FREE!!

Now You're Ready To Book It
After the last couple of posts that you’ve read and there have been a lot of you reading my posts. Thank you for that. I don’t mean that you need to “book it” as in leaving, but now that you have seen all the trips and vacation hot spots that you can choose from, you will need a place to book your travel.
I know that is a hassle. Trying to find the best price. Well you don’t have to dread it anymore. You know how when you are looking to book travel online you never just go to one website. Why?
Because like most people you are looking for the best deal. The best price. And we don’t stop at the first one. It may look good and then as we are going on to site after site we realize that the first one was really the best. So we go back and what happens. The price has gone up or it is totally not available at all. But that has all changed.
http://www.BookYourTravelWithMe.com
What if I told you that you can now go to just ONE site and KNOW that you are going to get the best price just above every single time.
Yes that’s what I said. We’ve even had an independent survey done just so I could tell you this. 68% of the time and that percentage is probably greater than that now, we have THE best price on the planet.
I also know that for the first couple of times you use our site you will go and check for yourself just to be sure you are getting the best deal.
How do I know that? Because I did. It's human nature. But I learned quickly.
Our travel portal is called Rovia. And Rovia does this and so much more. When you get to my site you will see that is looks pretty much like any online travel booking site, but that is so you will have that familiar feeling. Like you’ve done this all before. But there is so much more. Are you ready?
http://www.BookYourTravelWithMe.com
But underneath there is so much more. On the right hand side you will see a box that asks, “are you preferred?” And if you are, you get some more benefits. So go ahead and sign up, it’s FREE!
And once you’ve signed up you are privy to the best deals around. You will also receive (FREE) $200K flight insurance per ticket purchased, you will never pay a fee for booking online. And you will also receive 30 minutes of our exclusive Concierge service.
You know what a hotel concierge does, right? They can answer anything and they know everything. That is just what our Concierge does. You can call and ask them anything. Movie times, make a reservation at a restaurant or anything. We’ve had people just call and ask to get help with their child’s homework or how many M & M’s in a bag.
These are just a couple of the things that are available by booking on the Rovia site. When you come to see the site for yourself you will see everything else we have for you.
So what are you waiting for? You’ve got your vacation hot spot picked out, now book it!

It’s been a while since I’ve posted something new on my blog and for that I apologize. Life just sometimes gets in the way. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Remember on my first post I told you that I was a member of a travel club? Well, we are seeing some remarkable things and I just want to share a couple with you.
Our travel club takes us to place we have only been able to dream about. We never imagined that we’d be able to go to as many places for so little money.
And that is the advantage of the travel club membership. We have over 16 trips a month to choose from. That is over 400 a year. And these are 4 star resorts, hotels, villas, condos and more and they are at 2 star prices.
Sound too good to be true? Yes, I thought so too until I took a closer examination and found everything they said was on the up and up. There have been no disappointments.
Take a look at our dreamtrips - here is the link. http://www.TakeYourDreamTripNow.com
Yes, there is a drawback. You must be a member. But we have a 99% retention rate. What that says is that once you become a member and go on one of our fabulous trips, you will remain a member for life.
On your first trip you will have saved enough to pay for your membership and the monthly maintenance fee. You won’t regret the decision.
If you’d like more information about this amazing travel club, just contact me. Fill out the form at the bottom of this post. We are already looking at 2011.

Finally - You've Arrived
Whenever you arrive in any country, whether it be by boat, plane or whatever could be vulnerable. You have all your cash, cards, documents and anything else valuable on you right at that moment.
It is even worse if you have never been there before and look like a tourist. Believe me, there are always people who are willing to “help” you. You should take every precaution to avoid any potential problems.
After all you’d hate for someone to “help” themselves to your belongings, when you have just gotten there. That would be a sure disaster. Here are a few tips that should help.
1. Before leaving for your trip, try to get some information as to the layout of the airport where you will be arriving. If you have a vague sense of where are, it will be helpful as to where you are going and where the pubic transportation is located.
2. Whenever possible it is recommended taking either the airport limousine, or have the hotel transportation pick you up.
3. Never take a taxi that seems to just be “there,” offering its services conveniently.
4. Keep your purse securely next to you and valuables safely secured in your purse or in one of your carry on pieces.
5. If you are traveling Internationally you may need to exchange some money into the local currency before you depart. This gives you one less thing to worry about when you get there. It will also stop you from pulling a large amount of money out at the airport.
6. Keep a small amount of the local currency, easily accessible in a pocket or something, and away from the majority of the rest of your cash. Don’t forget to find the proper amount to tip. And you may want a little extra for a drink or anything else along the way.
7. If you haven’t found anything out about the airport that you are approaching ask one of the airline staff.
Traveling to a new destination with unusual habits and traditions can be a very traumatic experience, a little research before you leave will go a long way.
A lot of people fly off without any research and expect things to be done in exactly the same way and at the same speed as they were at home, well this just isn’t going to happen, and it is very important to try to understand the culture, religion and people of the country that you are travelling to.
Most countries really are actually very safe, but in others it is advisable to take to take as many precautions and know something about it.
However the most important thing is that you have a great holiday or vacation. And I'll see you on the beaches of the world.

Tips For Backpacking
This article is for those who are just getting into backpacking. Not that this is the only way to do it, but one of many. The cool thing about backpacking is trying out a lot of different ideas. Here are a few things to think about.
Backpacking is an enjoyable way to experience nature and access remote terrain. Just remember it gets easier every time you go.
It’s a great way to get closer to your family and the kids will find out that there is more to life than TV and video games.
1. Know your equipment: Before heading out for a trip, make sure you know how to use all equipment. Try setting the tent up in your backyard and know the terrain may not be as level as it is in the backyard. And it’s no fun trying to learn how to setup a tent after dark, in the pouring rain. You may want to figure our how to turn on your Coleman stove and lantern. (or other brand)
2. Check your equipment: When you are packing for the trip, check to make sure everything is in good shape, that the tent poles are really in the tent bag. Just because they are brand new doesn’t mean it is perfect. just a general making sure you have everything you need. Make a checklist of your equipment and check off each item as it is packed, then you will make sure nothing is left behind.
3. Trip Itinerary: Make sure someone you trust, knows where you are going, and when you will be back. Try to make sure you are back by the time you said you would be and let that person know you are back. Study a map or guide to know the terrain you’ll be hiking and estimate the time it will take to arrive at your destination. Make sure someone knows where you are and when to expect you at your destination.
Obtain necessary permits and reserve campsites in advance, and check local regulations to avoid fines. Know the area’s weather patterns and accommodate for time of year. Always be prepared for the worst weather.
4. Be knowledgeable of Basic First Aid and CPR: If something happens to someone in your group you should be able to do some basic treatments, but only do this if you are sure you know what you are doing, otherwise you could cause more harm than good.
5. Campfires: Keep them small, there is no need for a large bonfire out there, a small fire is more than enough. Make sure someone is attending to the fire while it is burning and make SURE the fire is completely out before leaving it. Too many forest fires have been started by fires that were not put out properly!
6. Clothing: Remember, it’s very easy to perspire, even in the winter, so dress appropriately in layers and be prepared for changing conditions, temperature changes at higher altitudes, and evenings. Always pack rain gear.
7. Your backpack: The pack shouldn’t weigh more than 25 percent of your weight, so take only what you need. Pack as light as possible, the lighter the pack the more enjoyable it will be to carry it.
8. Your vehicle: Occasionally a vehicle left at the beginning of the trail are being broken into. The best way to hopefully avoid this happening to you, is to not leave anything of value in sight. Some people will even leave the glove box open so someone looking into the vehicle can see there is nothing of value in it. Leave the radar detectors and garage door openers at home, instead of trying to stash them in the vehicle.
9. Extra set of keys: Make sure someone else in your group has a set of keys to the vehicle you came in.
10. Cell phone: Do not rely on your cell phone to call for help. There may not even be a signal where you are. And you may not be able to call 911 for help.
11. Wild animals: Go on admit it, you want to see some. But from a distance. Know the animals that you may encounter so you will be prepared when you see them.
Take a lot of pictures to enjoy the views as you see them. And so others can see them when you get home. Get to your planned campsite early enough to have plenty of time to get it set up easily. Be flexible, if it is pouring the rain when you’re ready to go hiking, just relax a little more and see if it decides to quit. So what if you have to start a little later. You are not on a schedule or at least you shouldn’t be.
And last but not least: ENJOY yourself! And I'll see you on the beaches of the world.

What To Pack And Keeping It Simple
Remember, this is a vacation. Keeping it simple is less stress in preparing for the trip. I hope these few tips will help.
1. Security and Keeping Details Safe
If you are doing International travel, scan your passport, passport photos and paper tickets. Store this in your web based email account that you can access from anywhere.
You can also store the details of your emergency telephone numbers in your web based email account so you know who to contact if your credit card or ATM card is lost or stolen.
2. Split up your valuables
Split up your bank cards, cash, travellers’ cheques and credit cards as much as possible in different pockets, your bags and wallet when packing.
3. Clothes
Pack only what you know you will use and if you are travelling for more than three weeks, plan to wash on the road. Keep in mind that jeans take up a lot of space and if you have to launder them, they take along time to dry. Lighter cotton pants are much easier to care for. Choose fabrics that breathe, don’t show dirt, don’t wrinkle, and are easy to wash and dry.
4. Roll Technique
Somehow it seems that bags will hold more if the clothes are rolled rather than folded. Also if you roll in tissue paper, the clothes will get less wrinkled. Jackets and such can still be folded.
5. Plastic Bags
It is always handy to have a few plastic bags around certain items, especially toiletries. Not only does it hold in any leaks, the bags can also come in useful to keep dirty clothes in.
6. Dividing Your Personals
If you are using a suitcase with no dividers, a piece of cardboard makes an excellent divider and helps keep your clothes organized and neat as you are able to lay them out flat on the cardboard.
7. Shoes
Your shoes will fit well into corners of the suitcase. Try to know what you will want to wear for each outing and pack accordingly. You can put them into airtight plastic bags to make sure everything stays clean.
8. Carry-On
If you have any medication or important papers in your carry-on bag. Especially on long flights with multiple stopovers. You don’t want to end up stuck without medication, or your important papers even if it is just for a few days or even hours.
9. Minimize on toiletries
With the tighter regulations of taking liquids on a flight, be sure to check and see what you can actually take on board. Take only half a tube of toothpaste rolled up tight, store shampoo in small containers, only take half a roll of toilet paper and crush it so the middle is folded. (You never know when you’ll need it.)
10. Carrying a lot of luggage?
While carrying a lot of luggage is not recommended, sometimes it is necessary in the case of relocating and so on. Remember there is an extra fee for more than one bag. Check with your local airlines so you don’t have a surprise when you check your bags.
One last thought, When you have your clothes laid out on your bed at home, do a final check. Think about your activites you have planned. Ask yourself questions like ‘What will I wear to a nice restaurant? What will I wear when going from my hotel room through the lobby to the swimming pool? What will I wear for dinner at the Captain’s table?
You get the idea. Make any changes now, then get packing! And most of all have a great trip! I'll see you on the beaches of the world.
1. Security and Keeping Details Safe
If you are doing International travel, scan your passport, passport photos and paper tickets. Store this in your web based email account that you can access from anywhere.
You can also store the details of your emergency telephone numbers in your web based email account so you know who to contact if your credit card or ATM card is lost or stolen.
2. Split up your valuables
Split up your bank cards, cash, travellers’ cheques and credit cards as much as possible in different pockets, your bags and wallet when packing.
3. Clothes
Pack only what you know you will use and if you are travelling for more than three weeks, plan to wash on the road. Keep in mind that jeans take up a lot of space and if you have to launder them, they take along time to dry. Lighter cotton pants are much easier to care for. Choose fabrics that breathe, don’t show dirt, don’t wrinkle, and are easy to wash and dry.
4. Roll Technique
Somehow it seems that bags will hold more if the clothes are rolled rather than folded. Also if you roll in tissue paper, the clothes will get less wrinkled. Jackets and such can still be folded.
5. Plastic Bags
It is always handy to have a few plastic bags around certain items, especially toiletries. Not only does it hold in any leaks, the bags can also come in useful to keep dirty clothes in.
6. Dividing Your Personals
If you are using a suitcase with no dividers, a piece of cardboard makes an excellent divider and helps keep your clothes organized and neat as you are able to lay them out flat on the cardboard.
7. Shoes
Your shoes will fit well into corners of the suitcase. Try to know what you will want to wear for each outing and pack accordingly. You can put them into airtight plastic bags to make sure everything stays clean.
8. Carry-On
If you have any medication or important papers in your carry-on bag. Especially on long flights with multiple stopovers. You don’t want to end up stuck without medication, or your important papers even if it is just for a few days or even hours.
