Wow, this month has just flown by! I have been busy getting ready for the Bridal Show at The Kove in Edgewater Park, NJ, getting brochures ready and checking out all the best places for a honeymoon. I’m really excited about this show. One of my sponsors, Karisma Hotels, is sponsoring a 4 day/3 night vacation. It is good at any of their 6 hotels (El Dorado and Azul Hotels) in the Rivera Maya, Mexico area. I will also have some items to give away too. If you live in the Central/Southern New Jersey area and are getting married, be sure to come to this show. There will be lots of vendors for you to get information from to help you in planning your wedding. It begins at 7 pm so grab something to eat after work and then head on down to the show to check it all out. And don’t forget to enter our contest! Just look for the Two Sisters Travel booth and let me know that you saw this blog! Hope to see you there, it is at The Kove caterers, on Route 130 in Edgewater Park NJ. It is right across Rt 130 from the flea market in Willingboro. If you can’t make it to that one, come see us at the show at Valleybrook Country Club in Blackwood NJ on February 7, 2010.
