Today we (Kevin, Penney and I) are off to the beautiful Smokey Mountains in East Tennessee. No not for a romantic or fun weekend getaway but again (and as usual) for work. Penney needs to run up there to look at a mountain lodge for a retreat/conference she is hosting in April for Travel Professionals. The Timber Lodge is a 15 bedroom, 18 bathroom cabin up nestled above Pigeon Forge… pictures and a better description to follow.
A little more about the event… Penney and Travel Agent Success, Inc are hosting an Extreme Agency Makeover: Travel Professional Edition from April 13-16, 2014. There will be 22 Travel Professionals for the 3 days of HOW – Hands On Workshops™ covering Branding, Marketing and Technology.
Yes, Kevin and I will get to tag along as Kevin is the chief cook and bottle washer and I am there as the ‘bouncer’ to make sure no one gets out of hand . Ok, going to enjoy the drive, more later.
1:40pm Well we just met the owner of the lodge and did a walk through of the property. It sure is nice! Every bedroom has a private bath with shower, there are two game rooms, a large living area, two other conversation areas and a HUGE kitchen that will actually seat 40-50 people.
This is going to be an awesome event, I cannot wait!
