Cabo Wrapup

by Todd on Wednesday, August 11, 2010 · 0 comments

Well, reality has set in – Hayley and I have been back from Cabo for a little over a week now, going back to our regular, everyday, non-pool-filled lives. We had an absolute blast in Cabo and we’re incredibly grateful to Jan and Jeanine, our new friends, for sponsoring our getaway.

As I’ve mentioned previously, we’ve never done an all-inclusive vacation before. I didn’t know if I would like it. But I did. A ton. We didn’t have to think anything other than whether or not we had on enough sunscreen (we didn’t), which drinks to consume (I enjoyed the Bob Marleys) and whether or not the entertainment was lip-synching during the entertainment (they definitely were).

The biggest disappointment of the trip was definitely the beach. It was beautiful, but the water was crazy-cold and unbelievably rough (which did lead to a hilarious situation of a couple of girls trying to look hot, but ended up getting flipped upside down by the surf), and the sand was pretty rocky. This resulted in a ton of time by the pool rather than on the beach. A pretty minor setback in the grand scheme of things.

I’m not going to do a hard-sell here, but I do want to explain what Jan and Jeanine do, as well as I can. They are part of a company called World Ventures, a travel club that offers incredible vacations (like the one we went on) for some crazy-low prices. They explained that it was like a Sam’s Club for vacations – you join, pay a monthly membership fee and have exclusive access to bulk-rate trips.

As reps for World Ventures, they are able to both go on the trips and offer others the opportunity to sell the memberships. (This is as hard-sell as I’ll get in the post) If you’re looking for an at-home work opportunity, I encourage to check them out. The networking model is unlike any I’ve ever seen before and it seems like there’s actual potential to make some money without a huge initial investment.

But even if you’re not interested in selling anything, you should definitely consider the club. Heck, maybe we could even plan a ToddBlog vacation or something.

Leave a comment below or shoot me an email if you’re interested in connecting with them. I’d love to hook you up!

Hayley’s Cabo Report

by Todd on Saturday, July 31, 2010 · 1 comment

As we’re almost out of minutes in the Internet Cafe, I will link to Hayley’s recap on yesterday in Cabo.

Click here to check it out.

I will add the following notes to flesh out her account.

  1. I ended up singing “Wanted Dead or Alive” by Bon Jovi for Karaoke last night. My dreams of becoming a rock star begin and end in my living room with Rock Band 2, I’m afraid.
  2. I didn’t get as sick as Hayley because I’m not as adventurous on vacation and I’m strong like bull.
  3. Rocky IV gets a bad rap. I kind of enjoy it.
  4. I like Bob Marley more than I thought I would.

Tomorrow is our day with the dolphins. I’m going to see how smart they really are.

And it begins

July 29, 2010 2 comments

After a couple of delays at the Wichita and Houston airports, Hayley and I landed safely and soundly in Mexico, ready to soak up the sun and consume large amounts of free resort buffet food. Despite Hayley’s and my strong desire to go on the Amazing Race — and strong belief that we could win — […]

In two weeks, Hayley and I will be sipping margaritas, lying by the pool and frolicking (ok, I will probably the only one frolicking) on the beach in Cabo, Mexico. Our friends Jan and Jeanine invited us to participate – for free – in their travel club. We’ll be blogging, tweeting, photoing and maybe even videoing […]

This is the post I’ve been waiting to write for four years. Below is a trailer for the upcoming Arrested Development movie.  Let its beauty wash over you. Ok. Sorry. That’s not real at all. But it is really awesome. Gone too soon, AD. Gone too soon. Share This Post:

The times, they are a-changin’

Well, friends (if there are any of you still around/subscribed), I have a big, blog-worthy announcement to make. I am no longer employed. Before feeling badly for me, allow me to explain. I’ve left steady, gainful employment to strike out on my own as a freelancer, consultant, strategist, trainer, speaker and (hopefully) writer. I’ll have more details about this decision soon, […]
