Steelers “Off Season Activities” Come To A Close…

TravelPro — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 11:00:21 +0000

I haven’t been to St. Vincent College since Chuck Noll was head coach of the Steelers. Since Noll retired there have only been two other Head Coach’s from 1992 on. (The same year I moved here to Atlanta.) Some NFL teams change Coach’s every three to four years – but for the Pittsburgh Steelers it’s [...]

Tony Robbins Breaks Through Into Primetime TV

TravelPro — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 11:00:31 +0000

I’m not a big fan of Network Television. I will watch an hour or two a week for shear entertainment value – but I can’t remember the last time I saw even a minute of Network News. It’s been years. I’d rather listen to an audio book, participate in a webinar or conference call or [...]

YTB Restructures Founder/Executive Compensation

Do you remember the outrage a year and a half ago when the CEOs of Ford, Chrysler, and GM flew to Washington, D.C. in private jets to ask for $25 billion in taxpayer money to avoid bankruptcy? Not that selling off private jets would have covered the $25 billion these guys were asking for – [...]

Memory Lane

Now that we’re inside 30 days until the Convention, most of the “news” and “upgrades” are saved for those who actually show up in St. Louis. I went back to July, 2008 to review all the excitement of our largest Convention to date – the buzz about Lady Liberty – and clear signs that YTB [...]

How Does ZamZuu Stack Up?

One of the nice features about a blog is the ability to track how people find you. I’ve always kept a pretty close eye on search terms and referral links coming into this site because it’s one of the best ways to come up with new material and topics. It’s also a good indicator of [...]

Say Hello to ZamTek

TravelPro — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 11:00:14 +0000

Back from our family vacation – but a little smaller in size. We got about half way home and realized that we forgot the kids! ;-P Actually, they’re on a “Grand Adventure” this week which is reserved for Grandparents and Grand kids. It’s something my parents have done since my sisters kids were growing up [...]

Off On A Family Vacation…

TravelPro — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 11:00:03 +0000

By the time you read this, we’ll be off enjoying time together as a family. We picked an additional half week to spend with extended family to celebrate “Googley-Bears” birthday on Friday. He’s been talking about turning 7 for weeks now and we wanted to do something special for him. Yes, he’ll turn 7 in [...]

YTB Travel Network Makes Power List – Again…

TravelPro — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 12:00:10 +0000

You know, I looked for this list last week and didn’t see it. Then mid-morning yesterday, it dawned on me that it might be out this week. After writing about this Power List the last 4 years (because YTB has made the list all 4 years) I can go directly to the URL without even [...]

If you didn’t know that June is Carnival Month with YTB Travel – you’ve got to be hiding under a rock somewhere. Carnival has been sending out all kinds of promotional e-mails this month and even offered up a couple of live webinars to assist the YTB sales field in promotions and sales. The month [...]

Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life

TravelPro — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 11:00:06 +0000

I’ve never been satisfied with being “average”. I’ve always been the type to welcome new ideas and try new things. To me, it just makes life more exciting. We’re only here for a short time in the grand scheme of things, so you might as well make the best of it. I have an extensive [...]
