Iberostar Rose Hall Suites, Montego Bay, Jamaica

I would like to announce to the world that my sacrifice has paid off handsomely.    You may remember in a previous blog how I was explaining to you all about the great sacrifice I was making to fly to Orlando to attend a travel conference so that I could become a better travel agent to you. 


Well, while I was there I intended a seminar with my favorite tour company, and the nice rep from Iberostar Resorts spoke for a few minutes, then drew a business card to give away a 7-night, all-inclusive stay at the Iberostar Rose Hall Suites in Montego Bay, Jamaica.  The color of the business card was purple - so whose do you imagine that was?????  Yes, me!


So now I'll be taking my family to this 5 star property within the next year to investigate how I can convey to you the joys of Iberostar.  Now I ask you, what other travel agent do you know who is as selfless as I am?  Who else would do this for you?


Seriously, we are very blessed by John at Iberostar to have been given such a nice gift.  And I promise we will make the most of it with pictures and blogs.  I'm not sure when we'll be going.  Jeff actually has a real job that requires him to show up for work most of the time, so it depends on his schedule and of course, our bank account that will be paying for the airfare.


I would LOVE for you to visit the Iberostar website to see what all they offer, not just in Jamaica, but all around the world.  The address is http://www.iberostar.com/.  And you also have a chance to win a free trip at one of their hotels - look for details on their website. 


Remember, if you book through me you will have access to special rates and discounts not available through most other agents.


So for now, Cool Runnings!

A Toe in the Blog Water

Being a Baby Boomer has its advantages.

• I remember Elvis.
• I got to see a PG rated version of Saturday Night Fever.
• I have actually bought penny candy for a penny.
• The Brady Bunch and The Partridge Family were Friday night staples at my house BEFORE they were syndicated. (And wasn't that David Cassidy groovy!)
• My family took a vacation to Walt Disney World just after it opened.

It also has its disadvantages. Here are a few examples:

• Old lady glasses for reading
• Reflux
• Jumping up and down is no longer an activity done without forethought and 'preparation'.

And, the most relevant disadvantage, my brain has a hard time understanding new technology.

Hence this first post on the Legacy Family Travel blog.

Did it go anywhere? Did anybody read it? You tell me!

My hope is that Jeff and I will be able to keep you updated on the latest family-friendly vacation options, the newest cruise ships and itineraries, the most innovative hotels and resorts for family travel, and other travel information that you may find interesting.

For the first real blog, I have a fascinating history lesson for you. But first I need to make sure I know what I'm doing. (at least sort of)
