I was at Claire’s last night, and she had some of the new coopers beer, it’s called Clear, it tastes really good! Like really really good! We watched heaps more Grey’s Anatomy, I am beginning to love the show! I also watched Marley and Me, before, I went there… Saddest bloody movie ever made. I swear things shouldn’t be allowed to be that sad! Unless you like sad movies, or are into crying, don’t watch it! I laughed myself stupid at the beginning, but then I couldn’t stop shaking with tears at the end! Claire is leaving for Thailand on the 28th, and she realised that her passport will expire before six months, and it needs to be valid for six months to travel to Thailand

How private guided safaris benefit you! | A guest post by Brad Leontsinis
Private safari guides provide several benefits to local and international tourists alike. A private guide should boast several important attributes, namely: experience throughout several wilderness regions, excellent bush skills and understanding of animal behavior, a comprehensive background in ecology, zoology and botany or related fields, an ability to adapt and guide in any natural environment regardless of experience in the area or not, as well as excellent people skills and an ability to host guests, ensuring that they always feel safe, welcome and at home.

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!

I’M AFRAID OF NAKED WOMEN! (The Satanic Toilet Monster Dream Remix)
Ever had that dream where you’re walking into the girls’ bathroom of your old high school about to shave your hair into a mohawk? Well I had that dream the other night… I was in a tuxedo, and when I walked through the bathroom door, there were Al Bundys in every stall, sitting on toilets with the stall doors wide open, pointing remote controls at TVs which didn’t exist, and bursting into tears about their fear of naked women.

Online travel predictions for 2010 and beyond
The past decade was explosive for online travel – we saw the market skyrocket and hordes of new players enter the field. New segments of the market have blossomed, including meta-search which saw a bunch of successful exits with one company now aiming for an IPO (Kayak). Finally, towards the end of the decade, we welcomed a whole new segment dubbed “discovery” or “inspiration:” sites like uptake.com, goplanit.com and joobili.com are all trying to help travelers approach the travel planning process in a way better tailored to their goals

Hotels Guide – Part 4 of 4
Advance payments of hotel reservations a) The hotel owner will be able to subordinate the acceptance of the order of hotel booking, to the imposition of an advance amount (guarantee or cause deposit). This advance amount will always have the character of guarantee deposit, except for the case in which the hotel owner has specified that it’s a guarantee. If the hotel owner has requested an advance payment, the conclusion of the hotel contract won’t be definitive until the imposition of the amount is not made or demonstrated the evidence of the payment

Repeat Clients
I just love repeat clients! This, to me, is the highest form of flattery because it tells me I did such a fantastic job last time that they trust me to repeat the same level of service again. I am a travel agent who owns a franchise with CruiseOne , so this client called me inquiring about a 10-nt Eastern Caribbean cruise at the end of January. Unfortunately, the cabin category they want is unavailable, but we are looking at a different ship or cruise line.

Happy New Year!
Well, it is a new year and a new decade! Wow, that 10 years went really fast! Hopefully your new year will be happy, healthy and prosperous. This should be a really great year to travel. The cruise lines are all bringing down their prices to entice more people to cruise. There are going to be more weddings this year, since people held off last year. They want to get married and while they may not have the big fancy weddings that they would have had, they are still having the luxurious honeymoons. A word to everyone getting married, don’t scrimp on your honeymoon. It is a once in a lifetime trip…do it up and go where you’ve always wanted to go. There are a lot of bargains out there which are not ‘cheap’ but they certainly are less expensive than they would have been in previous years. Another thing that you may want to consider if you are getting married this year is a destination wedding. At most resorts, they will comp your wedding costs (the actual wedding itself, not the reception) if your wedding party is 10 or more rooms. While you won’t have the large reception that you may have dreamed of, you will have an exotic wedding with your family and close friends, which may be more memorable than a large wedding! And be sure to use a travel agent for all your vacation needs, whether it is for your honeymoon, destination wedding, babymoon or just a getaway. If anything goes wrong, you will be glad that you have that agent to be there for you! If you don’t have a travel agent, please call Two Sisters Travel at 1-800-614-8514 or email info@twosisterstravel.com and we will be glad to help you with any of your vacation needs. Be sure to check us out on the web at www.twosisterstravel.com or on Facebook – just click on box on the right. And if you are in New Jersey and getting married, come visit us at the Elegant Bridal show at The Kove in Edgewater Park on January 19th and at Ron Jaworski’s Valleybrook Country Club in Blackwood on February 7th.
