Dear Dave,
Happy
October!!!
For the
last month we've had a very special house guest staying
with us. Meet Chika!!
Chika is
from Tokyo, Japan and she's in Vancouver learning
English. Don't worry, I'm not the one teaching her!!
LOL. We'll leave that to the professionals.
I
actually met Chika last November when I went to Tokyo
for the weekend. Remember when I flew over for 3 days so
I wouldn't lose my ELITE STATUS? Crazy. Anyways, Chika
is the younger sister of a friend of a friend and I met
her one of the nights when a group of us we went out to
do karoake in Shinjuku.
It's been
really fun having Chika stay with us and we've really
enjoyed showing her around Vancouver. We're so lucky to
live in such an amazing city and I love playing
tour-guide. The photos are from our day-trip to Whister/Blackcomb.
The funny
thing though has been the food. Believe it or not, I'm
not exactly known as a great cook so I've been
introducing Chika to such delicacies as Tuna Helper,
Frozen Pizza and Shake n Bake. Of course she's very
polite so I'm not sure if she's been enjoying the
cuisine as much as she says she is.
We have
had some humourous miscommunications (lost in
translation moments). One day I said "I'm gonna go jump
in the shower". Well, Chika had the most puzzled look on
her face and she asked why I would be jumping up and
down in the shower?? Obviously she took me literally and
we had a good laugh over that one.
I hope
your clients will be jumping into your office to make
lots of bookings to Mexico and Hawaii. Have a great
month and chat soon.
Sincerely,
Freddie Marsh, CTC

DREAM LUXURY BEACHFRONT VILLA
Isla Mujeres
Did you
know that Real Resorts offers a gorgeous private
beachfront villa available for you to book for your
clients?
I
experienced the Dream Luxury Villa personally last
December and I have to tell you...it is spectacular.
The Villa will accomodate up to 10 people and I think
would be perfect for a group of friends (4 or 5
couples) or a large family. Maybe a small incentive
group too? Wouldn't it be fun to get a group together
and live like the rich & famous? When are we going?
