My wife, Diane, and I have spent several days in Belize before on our own and we traveled around the country in our rental car.  Since we have been here before, we decided not to do any of the tours and just spend time in town.  We had breakfast on the ship and left for the city on a water taxi.  Once in town, we acted like real tourists and took advantage of a horse and buggy city tour.  The fee was $15.00 dollars per person and being a cheap airline pilot, I told the tour guide that was too expensive and I offered him $10.00 per person.  No problem, he took the offer and off we went on the 45 minute tour.  We enjoyed the tour because the guide would explain different areas, buildings, bridges and history of the city.  That was information we would not have known on our own.  After the tour, we walked around the local vendors booths and checked out their goods.  Didn’t buy anything.  We did go to the pharmacy store and bought some cold medicine before leaving the city.  We got back on a water taxi, went back to the Dream and had lunch in the newly discovered eating area.

Late afternoon the Internet Marketers gathered at deck # 10 aft by the Sunset Bar and Pool for a group picture.  There are 420 IM’ers on board and many of us did make it to the location for the pictures wearing our Group T-shirt.  The information we received was this was the largest group photo shoot of guests the Carnival ever had.  We rock.  After the photo shoot, I was able to spend a few minutes with Mike Filsaime and received some priceless information on advancing my business and taking it to the next level.  He was also gracious enough to take a picture with me and also introduced me to Bob, The Teacher, Jenkins who also allowed me to take a picture with him.  Bob Jenkins is another important figure in the Internet Marketing arena and he shared valuable information with me as well.

Following the photo shoot, Diane and I went to an appreciation function sponsored by Carnival Cruise for being a previous guest on one of their cruises.  We had appetizers and drinks while listening to a band and was invited to a meal immediately following the function.  We bypassed the dinner because it was NOW time to have dinner with the Internet Marketers group.  It goes without saying, the dinner was excellent and everyone had a great time.  After dinner, I took a little ME time and enjoyed an hour of comedy show sponsored by Carnival Cruise Lines.

Until tomorrow

While my wife was on her tour, I stayed behind on the ship.  During that time, I explored more of the ship and was able to find a section better than what we had been using for the food.  The layout of the food, drinks and silverware was much better than the one we were using.  In addition, I  found the deli section so if we just want a sandwich in place of a full meal, I NOW know where to go.  The best part of the search was when I found Michael Cheney eating in the same section I just discovered.

Our evening meal was again open seating and of course, the meal was excellent.  We sat at a round table that holds ten people and we sat with some of the nicest people on the ship.

This picture is me with Captain Lou who is the one the does all of the scheduling and organization to put this event together.  He is the person in charge of the cruise for the Internet Marketers.

Until tomorrow

My wife, Diane, and I did not take advantage of any of the planned tours; instead, we elected to walk around Cozumel and take pictures.  My wife is a professional photographer so she had a great time today in Cozumel.  When we got back to the ship, she viewed her pictures and was very pleased with her work.

Tonight we had a special panel session conducted by Mike Filsaime.  The panel consisted of five men and one woman.  The topic of the panel focused on the Maverick group and the good the group does for man kind.  The group is a small group of men and women who had bonded together and do extreme activities together.  One of the members is Mike Hill and he shared more information with me about the group.

The discussion ended with a message of helping people makes us feel better and with a feeling of gratification.

Dinner tonight was open seating and we sat at a table for four and should a good meal with a great couple from our home area.  Yes, you can and will meet the nicest people on the Internet Marketers Cruise.

Until tomorrow.

Go out and make it a $ucce$$ful day!

We got onboard around 1:30 P.M. and had our first meal on the ship.  Needless to say, everyone was ready for some food.  About 4:00 P.M. the Dream pushed off and started our seven cruise.

Later that evening, we had our Welcome Party where Mike Filsaime, Donna Fox, Tom Beal and Captain Lou shared the events of the week.  Following the party, it was time for dinner and we all went to our assigned table of a delicious meal.  My wife, Diane, and I were lucky to share a table with Melinda and Omar Martin.  Omar worked closely with Mike Filsaime for years and he was gracious enough to give my wife and me some valuable information on how to become successful in the Internet Marketing arena.  I will share some of that information in the near future.

Until tomorrow, go out and make it a $ucce$$ful day!

This evening we had our Welcome Reception and had the opportunity to meet many people that are starting in the internet marketing arena, some that have been in the internet marketing arena for a long time and of course; some of the well know internet marketers.  I am not going to mention any names except for the one in the picture which is Donna Fox.

More tomorrow.

Go out and make it a $ucce$$ful day!

It is Thursday, 7 January 2010, and two days prior to the Internet Marketers cruise day.  My wife, Diane, and I had planned to be in Orlando, Fl. tomorrow to be in place for the cruise launch but we changed our plans.  Mother Nature decided to make it a challenge to get in place for the cruise.  The weather report for our area in Dallas, Tx was for record breaking cold temperatures with icing conditions for Thursday night.  That meant slippery conditions  getting to the airport on Friday morning.

Once we did get to the airport, the plane would need to be de-iced which would cause us to miss our connecting flight from Houston, Tx to Orlando, Fl.  To prevent that problem, we elected to leave a day earlier and spend an extra night at our hotel in Orlando.  We were playing on the side of caution.  We drove to Dallas Wednesday night and stayed at a friend’s home and he took us to the airport the next morning.  Guess what?  Mother Nature came a day earlier than forecasted and we had to slip and slide to the airport.

We did make our flight, got de-iced and flew to Houston.  Everything was working perfectly until we tried to get on our flight to Orlando and discovered there were no seats available for us due to overbooking.  Now what?  We learned the flight to Tampa, Fl had available seats and it was leaving in 30 minutes so we elected to go to Tampa.  The good news is our bags made it to Orlando and the bad news is we made it to Tampa.

Arriving to Tampa, we rented a car and drove to Orlando’s airport, picked up our bags and drove to our hotel.  Check-in at the hotel went smoothly and our room seems to be in good shape.  From this point on, I KNOW everything will go well and I will gain a wealth of knowledge and information that will benefit me and others as I will share what I learn on the cruise.

I will keep you posted on the days events during the cruise.  More to follow.

Go out and make it a $ucce$$ul day!

If you have any questions you want me to ask for you during the cruise, please post them on the comment section and I will try to get an answer for you.  You and I both know the Gurus will be busy and their time will be limited but I will do my best to get your answer.

Time for me to start packing so this one is short and sweet.
