Pamper weekend, Busy Week

Saturday, I went to a birthday party for one of Travis's friends, then as the boys (Steve and Trav) headed to Monster Jam, the girls (me and my gal pals) all went for pedicures - ooh la la. Sunday, mom and I had a photo shoot with my friends Nikkie and Stephanie of BlueFlair Photography.  What a BLAST.  It started with a professional makeup session with Christie Stevenson, then Nikkie and Steph shot us each in 3 or 4 different outfits.  Some head shots, some full body, and some with me and mom together.  The purpose of the photo shoot was to get a few new shots that we can use on our social media sites, websites, business cards, etc.  Boy did they do a GREAT job - if I do say so myself!  We should have the proofs next week sometime.  If you are looking for an updated look or image, DEFINITELY give these ladies a call!

Monday started off with a bang - can you believe round trip airfare LAX to Barcelona for only $600 including taxes??? YEP, want to go to Europe, off season/October is the time my friends.  I've been busy this week helping my friends book some FABULOUS vacations for 2010 and early 2011.   This reminds me...  I NEED TO CRUISE!!!  It's been about 7 months since my last cruise, and I am dying to get on another boat! 

My Social Schedule this week is kinda light - Bunco Wed., PTA Committee meeting Thu., Soroptimist on Friday, Heading to LA to visit the Oceania Regatta on Sat and day of rest on Sunday.

Catch ya next week!  Hopefully with some great pics to post!

It's a Blustery Day, Pooh...

Wow, wild weather in San Diego this week. We are supposed to get 10 inches of rain this week alone, and San Diego's average ANNUAL rainfall is just over 10 inches. Lots of wind, rain and even a TORNADO watch - CRAZY...

That said, I've been keeping busy speaking with my clients and planning some wonderful vacations. The first few months of a new year are commonly referred to as "Wave Season" in the travel industry, and is our busiest time of the year. Long hours, lots of activity, and lots to do - but, I LOVE my job and my clients, so it is all worth while. On January 3rd, I had the pleasure of visiting the Azamara Journey while she was in the port of San Diego. Azamara Club Cruises is going through a change to become more inclusive, and to truly become a unique product in the luxury cruise market. Some of these inclusions are: Gratuities, wine with lunch and dinner, free shuttle into town, and more. I think you will be hearing more about Azamara Club Cruises in the future.

Saturday Night, my boys (hubby and son) are headed to Qualcomm Stadium for the big Monster Truck show with some other dads/grandpas/sons - sounds like a good time for a nice relaxing book and bubble bath - ha ha - can anyone say SPA RETREAT?

Bye for now!

Welcome to 2010

WOW, 2010! It's Very Cool to say. So many people are writing these days about how bad the economy is, housing, unemployment, etc, but I am NOT going to go there.

I woke up today with my family and my health, and I am alive. 2010 is going to be a GREAT year for me, because I say so, and I'll make it GREAT for me.

This is the first post of my NEW blog and my NEW blogging regimen. My goal is to keep my readers entertained and educated about who I am and what I am doing personally, about the travel industry, and about my community. These are my core passions - Family, Work, Community. I hope you enjoy the read, and please feel free to post a reply, or just say Hi.

PS, If you are on Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn, please see my profile details and friend/follow me on these Social Media sites - I'll be sure to friend/follow back.

Happy Monday!!!
