Pesky Technical Difficulties; Cool NYC

Ok, so unfortunately I was unable to "attend" the online seminar for Ask Me About Destination Wedding last Friday. My computer at work (my day job) is not up-to-date so I couldn't log in. However, I will try later tonight when I get home and hopefully I will have better luck.

Cool NYC
Even though I'm originally from New York and I work here, I'm usually not out-and-about in the city. A friend told me about the new TKTS Discount Booth in Times Square and I drove past it last night on my way to Penn Station. What an incredible new upgrade! The line to buy theater tickets wrapped around the booth and the red steps are picture perfect for tourist and residents alike. Check out their article on the grand opening festivities which took place on October 16, 2008. Hmmm... I wonder if they'll allow small weddings to take place here?

New Site Enhancements

The folks at YTB just keep it coming! New vendors have been added to VastVoyages.com to make your travel experience more enjoyable. Of course the lasting favorites are still there like YTB Flowers and the Honeymoon Registry. But check out the Branson, Missouri link on our homepage, which takes you to their official vacation guide. Road Trip? YES! Even with the high gas prices, it’s still cheaper than flying. Check out the Road Trip box under the “Cars” tab. Click on the “Extras” tab and find a link to Your Travel Wear, a great site for travel clothing and gear as well as gift ideas and wedding wear.

Speaking of weddings, this Friday I will be joining an online training seminar with the people from Ask Me About Destination Weddings. I’m hoping to establish myself as a honeymoon/destination wedding consultant so I’ll keep you posted on that.

Also, I finally uploaded our Myrtle Beach pictures so check out the slideshow!
