Fall is the time for cooling weather, shorter days and lots of leaves to rake up. We were in Orlando for 2 weeks and the weather there certainly is different than California. I have to say I like those warm humid days, wearing shorts and sandals , and enjoying water sports and golf in the sun. Fall for me lets me know winter is on the way and I truly do not like being cold. That is why we try to escape Marin in Winter and find warmer weather or go skiing. Somehow I enjoy the snow- I love skiing and I love Hawaii-
I have been taking time to rebuild my business plan for 2014. I am , also planning trips for 2014. The big one being a trip to South Africa in November, 2014. It is going to be a trip of a lifetime and I am very excited about it. If you want to know more – go to my web site and click on the lion: Beckerleytravel.com.
Below are a few pictures from our trip to Orlando. I was there for a Travel Planners International trade-show. It was a great event- lots of fun and very educational. I met lots of wonderful suppliers. I was able to tour the Magic Kingdom and Epcot- both fabulous. I ,also had a ship inspection of the Disney Fantasy- What a great ship!
After the trade show John and I spent a week of R and R at The Marriott Grand Villas. We played golf 3 days and laid by the pool . We went out for some wonderful meals and had a great time.

This is The Coronado Resort where the convention was held. We stayed here and the grounds, service and room were all over the top!

The top deck of the Disney Fantasy. The pools, water-slides and water park on this ship are absolutely incredible. Wish I could take my whole family on a cruise on this ship. I will have to win the lottery first:)
