Dear Dave,
So did you make any New Years
resolutions? I often do, and
sometimes I even manage to keep
them.
Last year I set a goal of doing 50K
steps a week. I knew that 10K per
day was just too ambitious for me.
50K/week was challenging but
attainable. After
all, our goals should be
S.M.A.R.T.
- Specific, Measurable, Attainable,
Realistic, Timeframe.
Well, I accomplished that 2016
resolution! So what did I do...I
set the same one again for 2017. .
It has been cold in Vancouver. I was
out on my daily walk yesterday, and
saw some really crazy ice crystals...
Stay
warm and good luck on your 2017 goals!

Hilton Puerto
Vallarta FAM Highlights

Just in case you missed it, I sent
out a report highlighting our FAM to
the Hilton Puerto Vallarta last month,
The Hilton is a family-friendly resort
with a great beach, located in a great
place in PVR. My favourite area on
the property is the roof-top
O'West Lounge that features
an infinity pool, open bar, sushi chef
and is adult's-only!
We are especially thankful to
WestJet Vacations for
their valuable partnership in
providing flights for this FAM. Timon
Tours was also invaluable
in providing great support and
excursions!
