Welcome to Summer...

June is here, the kids are almost out of school, what are you doing for summer vacation this year??? Last month I took a quick 3 night cruise on the Carnival Elation with my son and my mom. WOW, what a fun getaway. If I haven't said it enough before, "This is the year to travel"! I have never seen prices so low and value as great as today. Summer prices are lower than typical "low season" rates. 3 night cruises sailing from San Diego as low as $179.00 - MID SUMMER! Typical summer prices are $400 per person. If you are thinking of something fun to do this summer, with or without the family, give me a call or drop me an email, I'd love to talk to you. 760-410-7447 Adele@LegendaryWorld.com Or check out my website Adele.LegendaryWorld.com

WOW, what a GREAT time to be in the travel industry!  I am making happy clients EVERY DAY!  Travel values are the lowest I have ever seen in my 15+ years in the travel industry.  Cruises from less than $200 per person, Hawaii with hotel and air from the W. Coast from under $500 per person, the Island of the Bahamas is even giving back a $200.00 rebate check for visitors to their island who book by May 10th.  It is amazing what value can be found these days.

I have just confirmed my Alaska cruise for July 09.  I am honored to be invited to sail with my in-laws David and Diane Hinkle, and their kids Troy and Amy (and grand kids Micah and Gina) for 7 nights on the Carnival Spirit.  We will be sailing from Whittier, Alaska to Vancouver BC Canada.  Believe it or not, in my 30+ cruises, I have never sailed to Alaska, so needless to say I am VERY Excited!  If you want to join us, there are a few cabins left, and inside cabins are starting at $499.00 and balconies from $849.00 plus tax!  WOW, $500 for a 7 night Alaska Cruise during PEAK SEASON!!!  Really unheard of.

Anyway, there are some great travel bargains to be had.  so, Grab you passport and give me a call.  Oh, and if you don't have a passport yet, GET ONE!  New rules go into effect 6/1/09, visit travel.state.gov.passport for details. 

Personally, I have taken a great liking to Facebook.  Click here if you want to view my profile, and I would love to add you as a friend!  I even added a Facebook Group for Travis's school Casita Center!

Happy Spring, have you gone anywhere lately?

In February I had the pleasure of sailing on Royal Caribbean's Mariner of the Seas - The biggest ship to hit the W. Coast. The Mariner is Beautiful and grand. We had a room overlooking the Royal Promenade and it was a blast for people watching. The food was great, the staff friendly and the ship beautiful. I even wan $250 in the Casino - what more can you ask for in a vacation.

In March I was able to preview Carnival's newest ship, the Carnival Splendor. As a nice touch, we were upgraded to a suite (Thanks Drew!). We sailed from San Francisco and returned 2 days later. When we got off the ship, Mom and I goofed off for the day. What a beautiful city. The highlite was our GoCar adventure. The car included a self-drive, GPS guided/talking computer. We toured the entire city in 2.5 hours, and even went down Lombard! If you are going to San Francisco and looking for a fun couple of hours, you have GOT to do this tour.

Up next??  I am contemplating an Alaska Cruise, we'll see.

Other than that, I am active on Travis's PTA, I am VP of my local Soroptimist Club, busy planting my summer crops in my garden.  Life is Good, and I am BLESSED to be living it!  

Travel is in the air...

WOW, January has brought a renewed sense of the desire to travel to may of my clients. I've been helping lots of people plan for their perfect vacation, despite these difficult economic times. Take a look at our upcoming events and joins us for a cup of coffee, glass of wine, or just stop by to say hi!

2 dates to choose from, Tues. 2/17/09 or Tues. 3/10/09. Call 760-410-7447 for information, or to receive complimentary tickets to one of our events.

Hope to see you there!

Fall is here, the weather is cooling

The last 2 months have been a bit of a whirlwind for me. In September, I escorted almost 500 passengers on Holland America's Oosterdam as part of the Dr. Laura Schlessinger cruise. We had dance parties featuring Dean Torrence of Jan and Dean, fitness and makeover demonstrations, a book signing and jewelry sale among just a few of the many activities. Of course, what isa cruise to Victoria BC without a stop at the world famous Butchart Gardens.

Then in October, I sailed with my friends and clients for our annual Oldies Music Cruise with Cruisin' With the Oldies. We visited Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas. Everyone enjoyed the concerts and parties with performances by Ron Dante of the Archies and Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods.

Well, I don't have my next cruise planned yet - ahhh, but I'm sure one will come along that I just can't pass up.

WOW - another year has gone by

Ok, so it was this time last year when I was posting that my son was off to Kindergarten - and now he is ready to transition into the public school system in 1st grade  -AHHH - seems like tomorrow I'll be talking about him going to college.

OK, so many ask - where is my next adventure...  Well, my next cruise is with almost 500 people on a theme cruise (what else is there) with Dr. Laura Schlessinger and her fans. http://legendaryworld.com/DrLaura/  We will be sailing on Holland America's beautiful ms Oosterdam from Vancouver BC to San Diego.  Should be a GREAT cruise!

After that, I am headed out the last week in October for our Oldies Cruise featuring Ron Dante of the Archies, Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods and lots of our fun and friendly clients.  I'll be sailing with my best-cruising buddy Verdie and my son Travis, as well as my inlaws and lots of friends.  Halloween is always a blast on the ship, and I expect this sailing to be another great time.

Not sure of my next vacation after that, who know's, I'm sure I'll be off to somewhere exotic and exciting.

Music and Margaritas, Anybody?

I just returned from a FANTASTIC 4 night cruise to Cabo on the Carnival Elation. I was on board with a group we promoted called Music and Margaritas, Don't Stop the Carnival Cruise - a mouthful, Yes, so M&M for short. We had a bunch of Parrothead (Jimmy Buffett) fans on board as well as a group of KPRI 102.1 Listeners from San Diego. In addition, we hired an awesome band called Stars on the Water to perform 2 private concerts and 2 public shows while on the cruise. Our MC Extraordinaire was KPRI's own Madison, and he was great.

We ate, laughed, drank, danced, sang, drank some more, partied and had a blast.

OK, I cruise a lot, I know, but this ranks among the top cruises in my books. The 4 night quick getaway from San Diego is perfect. Not too long, not too short and a fun day in Cabo to boot. If you don't have a lot of time, this is the perfect quick getaway. And the prices are unbelievable. You can buy this cruise for what a decent hotel alone would cost here in San Diego - and remember, meals and entertainment are included!

My next adventure - Cruisin' With the Oldies Cruise featuring Terry Sylvester from The Hollies, October 27th, 2007 on Carnival Glory. Our annual Oldies Halloween Cruise - will post on this shortly.

Until then - Wishing you warm waters, and may our waves cross paths again soon!

September - time to catch up

Travis started school a few weeks ago - He is a big bad kindergartener now! Quite a change for him from preschool, but he is really loving it. He was already chosen as student of the week for his good behavior and we are very proud of him.

I am traveling again in a few weeks - this time on a 4 day cruise on the Carnival Elation to Cabo. We have a music group cruise, with tunes by a local band Stars on the Water. Their style is Jimmy Buffet/Island, Hawaiian shirt, rum swizzle in the hand. Should be a blast!

The weather has started to cool here at the house, and I just love being able to keep the windows open at night - feel the cool brisk air - autumn is just around the corner. Until next time...

Next Week - VACATION!

Next week, Steve, Travis and I will spend time in the sun and sand playing on the beautiful shores of the Colorado River. The time to refresh, renew and remember what life is all about and to hold those so very near and dear to your heart closely.

2007 is half way over - ahhhh

Here we are, June 2007. This year I've been fortunate to have gone on 2 cruises with 2 more scheduled for the remainder of 2007. In early Feb. I escorted about 200 Country music fans on an 8 night cruise to Mexico. We had private concerts and events on board by some of Country's top artists Jo Dee Messina, Phil Vassar and Jack Ingram. Wow, what a cruise!

Then, at the end of Feb. a small group of my closest friends and family sailed for 3 days to Ensenada to celebrate my birthday. I've got a GREAT group and they decided to join me and help celebrate.

In August, I'll be escorting about 250 people on a 4 day cruise in the Caribbean, and in October I'll be escorting a group of about 400 "Rock and Roll Oldies" music lovers in the Caribbean for 7 nights of fun, private concerts, dance parties and more.

I know, my life sounds like 1 big vacation. Sometimes it is. My philosphy in life - Work hard, Play hard and most importantly LOVE Hard - Love yourself, your family and your best friends!

If you are reading this, I hope you work, play and love hard the remainder of 2007 -

Almost Christmas

Merry Christmas, Love Steve, Adele and Travis

Back from Chicago

Just back from Chicago. Went for my cousin Ann's wedding, had a great time. The city is clean, beautiful old buildings, lots of planters on the sidewalks, spring was definately in the air. Had dinner Sunday night at Giordano's, good Pizza and beer. What is a stop in Chicago without pizza? Took the Orange line train from Midway airport, very easy, convenient and cheap! $2 each way between airport and downtown, and about a 30 min ride. Busses were clean and full of all kinds of people, young, old, businesspeople, etc.
