A visit with the Queen…

The Mississippi Queen that is.  She was in Nashville today and  Jan Shaughnessy, our local NACTA chapter director, set up a tour for us.  The ship is very nice, cozy as we are used to bigger ocean sailing vessels but the décor was very fresh, everything was clean and the staff was ever so kind and helpful to us but more importantly to the guests onboard.   Here are some photos of what we saw…

HOW–Hands On Workshops™ in Chicago

Penney and I have been here in the windy city for a couple of days, actually flew in on Wednesday to attend a destination wedding conference before Penney’s HOW conference today.  We spent some fun girl time with our friend Sue Goldberg.  Caught up with other friends Barbara Oliver, Colleen Gaier, Monica Hammond, Lisa Sheldon, Meloney Kelly, and John Hawks.  The 2 day destination wedding conference was very good, with good speakers & topics and the networking with the agents was invaluable.

Today Penney facilitated an all day HOW – Hands On Workshops™ for several travel agents.   They started our with proven time management techniques, the second workshop was a 30 day social media marketing plan and concluded with a Gadget Girl presentation.  It was a good day.
