All the people who help make my dream of self-employment come true: 

My husband Steve, for putting up with a drastically reduced income while we get our Cruise Planners franchise up to its potential.  This is our retirement career and I appreciate his support -- we should be able to work this business for many, many productive and happy years.

My son Brandon, for working so hard for so little while he builds up his credentials and his client base.

My good friend Larry Lampert, for deciding not to retire so he can help me in the business and keep doing what he really loves.

My new friend Suzie Miller, for committing to being an outside agent in spite of a health issue -- and I also admire her determination and spunky spirit.

All my clients, friends, neighbors, and relatives; for having confidence that I will fulfill my goal of helping make their travels as satisfying and safe and hassle-free as possible, and rewarding their business with all the fun little extras that I can.

All the browsers who visit the website, call, e-mail, or stop by the office; for their future business when they are ready.

The Cruise Planners and American Express folks, for providing the formats, programs, and resources that make our travel bookings competitive, easy and secure, and simply a joy to work with!

Thanks so much to you all, and a very, very Happy Thanksgiving!!!
