DC Fire Works

went to DC for 4th of July.  this was a super last minute trip planned by Lenny’s Dad. it was the 3 day two night trip at a local hotel. the hotel was just for sleeping as the days were filled with activity outside of the hotel.

It was 98 degrees outside but the smithsonian museums have great AC! we spent most of the 4th at the museum and then walked to the lincoln memorial by way of the White House ( yeah the really long way).

we ended the day on the steps of the lincoln memorial watching the fireworks.  they were a blast! Dont get me wrong, Macy’s NYC is still the best! but the view, the music, the company, and being so close to the fireworks sure does make for an impressive evening!

Torn Between two Trainers – I need another body!

Back in 2005 I attended my first MMI, what’s that?  The Millionaire Mind Intensive.  And I have attended 6 more since then. That first one truly changed my life. I am a happy, joyful, more peaceful person because of that event.

For the Holidays I have the ability to offer you the chance to attend for free! a savings of over $795.

Just go here http://Peaks.EvelynRosa.com and register for the one nearest you.  You wont regeret it!

Now why do I need to bodies?

My other favorite trainer Dani Johnson, is holding a training event  on the same dates so I will have to choose which one to attend.  For more info on Dani’s event In January goto http://DaniJohnson.com

Happy New Year!
Evelyn Rosa, Coastal Vacations Platinum Director

 

Happy New Year and many more Coastal Vacations!

What a year this has been and now at the end of December is my 4th anniversay with Coastal Vacations. It was in December of 2006 that I made the decision to get started in Coastal Vacations. Back then life was very different than it is now. Back them I was $50,000 in debt, I had been downsized on around the time of my birthday ( I thought they called me in for a promotion!) I was in the midst of a horrible divorce, my room  mate had moved out suddenly, my unemployment had run out, and of course the land lord was trying to get me evicted.

To top it all off, my step dad, who had at one point been a NY cabbie among other things, didnt know where he was when we were standing in front of Lord and Taylors on Fifth Ave!  After many test his doctor diagnosed him as having Alzheimer’s and put him on Aricept.

I needed a new life, I needed a source of income, and I needed a lot of flexability. After spending my time researching Coastal Vacations, I took the plung and started at the highest level, Platinum. Like many others starting a business, I borrowed the money. I  got it from my 401K which had been doing a nose dive with the market and had exactly enough left to get me started.

Now? well the divorce is a done deal, the debt is all paid of, wow so great to know when the phone rings its someone I want to talk to! Becuase of Coastal Vacations I truly have the flexibility to be there to support my parents and well, I’m in the travel industry! I teach people to travel for wholesale prices, what better way to learn than to go on vacations! 4-8 vacations per year is getting to be the norm.  when there are less its because they are 3 weeks or more each.

and Ray? my step dad? he is waking up, his docter this year took him off Aricept. I look at him in the eyes and he is there! such joy I have really missed him.  We had a blast in Puerto Rico in November. Went to visit the town he grew up in and he got to talk to the son of his long time friend. Thas was quite a trip.  Get in the car with and person with Alzheimer’s for a 2 hour drive to another town on the other side of the island to find a house he has not been to in over 15 years!  Yep we got to the town, he remembered what should be where and the locals let us know what changed and where folks had moved to.

Hoping 2011 is as magical and wonderful as 2010 has been!

Happy New Year!
Evelyn Rosa

“Why pay retail, when you can travel for wholesale?”

Here are some simple tips to get the best airfare prices.

1)  Just after 911 commissions for travel agents on domestic airfares where removed.

What does that mean?

You can get the same prices that travel agents do for US domestic airfare by going to the airlines website or other websites like Travelocity.com.

2) purchasing on line is cheaper than calling the airline directly over the phone

3) do a flexible date search even if you dates are fixed.

4) consider departing or arriving during the middle of the week instead of the weekend

5) some sites quote the price before tax. Others quote the price with tax.  Always check to make sure what the final price with tax will be regardless

6) check the airlines website for additional fees for baggage, food purchase or other service items
