Well, after over 25 months, it was
great to be out and seeing local
travel agents smiling faces
again! I look forward to seeing
many Langley-area agents at the
Spoiled Agent show at the drive-in
tomorrow (May 3rd).
It is also great to have a trade
show business trip on the books to
look forward to this month. I look
forward to seeing Calgary-area
agents at the Spoiled Agent show at
the drive-in on May 18th!

“Twenty years from now you will be
more disappointed by the things you
didn’t do than by the ones you did
do. So throw off the bowlines, sail
away from the safe harbor. Catch the
trade winds in your sails. Explore.
Dream. Discover.”
