Social Media

Tonight is day 3 of Social Media Marketing class in Columbus.  I have learned a lot already about Facebook, Twitter, Google, You Tube etc, but it's only the tip of the iceberg!  All this talk about codes, submitting your webpage for SEO and sitemaps makes my head spin!  BUT, I will trudge on and figure it out!  


I try to be a bit on the frugal side and do things myself.  I am the type of person that has to figure out why things are and what makes them work.  


So, please be patient while I work through this and try to make my sites the best I can!

Mi Vida Loca

I have to apologize for not getting more content on here.  It has been crazy busy around here!  Between kids, school, work and forever helping neighbors and friends we have had little time to travel.  But, that will all change here in the next 2 weeks.  


My husband and I will be off to Vegas for the Home Based Travel Agent seminar for 5 days!  I'm very excited to meet the other Travel Agents that I work with.  We are flying on Allegiant for the first time.  Normally we fly Alaska Airlines and we love them, but I would be unable to get there in time for the events on Sunday, so we're trying something new.  


We are also looking forward to our vacation on the Carnival Dream cruise later this year!  We will be celebrating 10 wonderful years of marriage and Kelsey's sweet 16 birthday as well!  We've got some scuba diving excursions planned and deep sea fishing with Go Fish! Charter Fishing and Adventures in Playa Del Carmen.  We will be flying Alaska Airlines on this vacation - using our companion fares it's 1st class all the way!  Flying out of Billings, everything with Alaska/Horizon is routed through Seattle but that gives us the chance to visit our wonderful friends that we have there.  


This will be our 3rd trip to Playa - there is something special about that place.  The water is beautiful, the people are pretty great and we just keep going back!


I'll put some updates and pictures on here from Vegas.  'Til next time.......

Lamoille Canyon, Nevada. June 2009

My family lived in Elko Nevada for two and 1/2 years.  There are so many places to explore in this wonderful little valley.  Lamoille Canyon is one of them and offers recreation year round.  We enjoyed the beautiful scenery in the spring with all the waterfalls and the changing of the leaves in Fall to the amazing snowmobiling in the winter.

After leaving Elko to journey to Juneau Alaska and then back to our home state of Montana, Josh and I took a road trip to Elko to visit friends.  We had to take a drive up the canyon for old times sake.

This national Scenic Byway serves as the gateway to the Lamoille Canyon Scenic Area and Ruby Mountain wilderness. Sometimes referred to as the "Yosemite of Nevada," the canyon was heavily carved by glacial activity. A four-stop self guided auto tour with geology interpretive exhibits leads visitors past meadows full of wildflowers, abundant wildlife, waterfalls, and avalanche chutes.

Carnival Imagination Cruise--Mexican Riviera--February 2009

I LOVE cruising!

On board in Miami

First port was Key West on this itinerary.

This is one place Josh and I have on our list to go back and experience more.

Our Shore Excursion (at 10 am no less) was the Pub Crawl.  I was really hesitant to do this but our other shore excursion was cancelled due to wind.  This was one of the funnest excursions we have done so far.  Our tour guide was great and so were the bartenders and the drinks!   Rum punch!

Trying my hand at conch shell blowing.  Much easier for you band members!

Our wonderful Ocean View stateroom.  I do love having a window to peak out of!

My wonderful husband ready for Formal Night dinner!

Here we were getting on our sea taxi to go to Playa Del Carmen at our 2nd destination of Cozumel. 

We decided to go on the Jeep and Cavern adventure since the weather was very windy and most of the beach excursions were cancelled.  We went snorkeling in the Cenotes which was pretty cool!  

Hello Cuba!  

I enjoyed viewing this in our room so we could see where we were.

A view from our hotel back in Miami.  It sure was a beautiful sunset!
