Blog Re-launch ??

OK, time to get back into blogging mode.  For the last few months I've been sporadically focused on expanding MY TRAVEL AGENT's social media profile, setting up a Facebook page as well as continuing to participate on Twitter as @GetPackedTravel.

Last week I realized that the last post written on this blog was FIVE months ago, before Paula & I went on our Oasis of the Seas cruise (which was great, by the way).

So, it's time to get back to blogging on at least a semi-regular basis.  I'll mention the special deals we are currently promoting, talk about the trips we take ourselves, and maybe make a comment or two about travel news items that have some effect on the clients in our five core business areas - Australia, New Zealand, the South Pacific, cruise vacations worldwide, and romantic getaways.

I've re-formatted the site a bit, with columns down both sides now, and added a little more info about how to get in contact with us.  I've also added static pages about us and our core business areas so that you readers out there can learn more about us as well.

So, for 2011, remember our motto - "TRAVEL MORE - WORK LESS".  Hope to see you out there some day .....

Cheers,

Countdown to Oasis of the Seas cruise

Excitement level beginning to ramp up a bit as we count down the days to our Western Caribbean cruise onboard Royal Caribbean's newest, the OASIS OF THE SEAS.

Pre-cruise planning has come a long way since our first cruise over twenty years ago.  Now we are able to take advantage of checking in online, as well as making reservations for show times, specialty restaurants, and shore excursions before we ever leave the house to head towards our departure port of Fort Lauderdale.

That sure beats standing in line with a few hundred of my newest friends at the Guest Relations desk, attempting to book all that stuff under the old first come, first served mode of operation.  TECHNOLOGY ROCKS !!
