Dear David,     
 

 

Hello and Happy September!

Well, tradeshow season is officially upon us and August was certainly a crazy month with shows, but I absolutely LOVE it because it's the perfect opportunity to see so many of YOU. Thanks to everyone who stopped by the Real Resorts and El Cid Resorts booths at the various shows to say hello and to get the latest information. One thing about this business is that it's never boring and things are always changing, and of course I had lots of exciting news and fantastic promotions to share with you.

If you haven't seen me at a show yet, I will be at all of the upcoming Addison Shows across Canada (all 9 of them), so I will be coming to your city soon. You can click HERE to check out the dates of the Addison Shows in your city and to register. Please come by the booth to say hello - it would be great to see you!

So you'll never guess who I ran into when I was in Whitehorse last week.  The Prime Minister of Canada!!! He was staying at my hotel and I met him in the lobby. How exciting, eh? No matter what your political views are, it is definitely an honour and a thrill to meet the Prime Minster of Canada.

I did get my picture taken with him but unfortunately the PM's office hasn't emailed me the picture yet so maybe I'll include it next month. 

Anywho... I do have a Dixie update for you. You may remember that last month I was complaining that I was having no luck training Dixie to shake a paw. Remember? I had been trying for months and months with zero results. Well, Dixie went up to my parents place in Kamloops (while I was on the road) and my Mom actually taught her to shake a paw in LESS THAN A WEEK!!! I couldn't believe it. Obviously it was the trainer and not the trainee! My Mom is a retired school teacher so maybe that had something to do with her success with Dixie. You can see it for yourself HERE.
 
Have a great September. I hope your office is busy with lots of Mexico bookings!!! Please continue reading below to learn about what is happening at both Real Resorts and El Cid Resorts. There are some fantastic promotions currently available, and you know how it is, the more you know about the product the easier it is for you to SELL.
