Anyone From Ca &/Or Duke Cluster Going?

In summary, a group of people are discussing their attendance at a conference and their involvement in a hospitality cluster. Some are direct recruits of a woman named Barb, while others are part of a hospitality cluster in California and Texas. They are also discussing their travel plans and the possibility of discounted flights. One person is retiring, while another is launching a new photography business. They are all excited to attend the conference and grateful for their connections within the company.

What is a hospitality cluster? I keep seeing it everywhere
 
Barb is my uplline. KISRAE(Ida) & I are going, we are flying out of San Jose, staying at the Sheraton.
 
I wish I could go, even though I have 9 toes out the door to retirement from PC... NC is SO MUCH FUN!

Jolene - are you a direct recruit of Barb's?
 
I still need to book my ticket- I should have when others found it for $279- I had to think of who was sitting my kids and I should have dealt with that AFTER I bought the ticket! ARGH! Now prices are $345!!!!

I'm a hospitality girl because my original cluster was out of RI where I signed but my director and I both moved- me to CA and her to TX. Now I have my Cali hospitality cluster AND one in TX since her Director is OUTSTANDING and has taken me under her wing as if I signed with her. I am TRULY BLESSED!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I'm going! I'm in Barbara's downline. I don't have my ticket yet either, but Robin Anderson (my new director as mine lost her directorship) is helping me with getting me a room. Are you going?

I've been getting emails from Southwest, the deals currently going on are for travel through a midpoint in June. I'm holding out a little longer with the hope that in another few weeks the travel in mid July will be discounted. If I get any great deal info I'll pass it on. I'll likely be flying out of the Bay Area because so far that is cheaper and I have friends down there to take me to the airport :)

Thanks for explaining the hospitality thing.... so it just means you aren't with your original group of folks...

You're retiring?


yea, I'm a direct recruit of Barb's. I contacted HO to look into the biz (hadn't been to a PC show in like 6 years but I have a friend who does other direct sales and was trying to recruit me but I knew that company was not for me... blah blah blah) and they hooked me up with Barb how lucky am I?!

You are VERY lucky... Barb is an awesome director!

I have been semi-retired for a long time, but I think I am ready to hang up the apron for good... it's taking too much energy to even round up my maintenance shows every other month. I launch a new photography business next month (Welcome to Studio JE Design & Photography) and between that and Tasty Tidbits, and working 40 hours a week with a 1 1/2 hour round trip commute... I am out of time!

Check Craigslist for tickets. I have purchased my tickets for NC twice now using Craigslist. People who have rapid reward tickets choose any price they want for round trip tickets anywhere. I got my ticket for $250 from Oregon to Chicago. Current southwest price for the same ticket is: $761 Yikes. I'm

I have to agree Barb is GREAT. My AD is a hag and Barb has helped me along with Amanda.
Jolene, We'll be having dinner together then.
Where in California are you?

I am in Barb's first line. I just decided to go to Conference tonight. I registered now I need a room. Anybody need a roommate?

Barbara is my Director's, Director! I won't be going to NC...I just wanted to share my "relatives". lol

Jolene- sorry I didn't see your comment about hospitality til now. Thats correct- I'm just not with my original cluster anymore. Another director welcomed me into her group. I'm extra blessed with two clusters & two hospitality directors taking me under their wings!

Wendy ~ send an email to Barb saying you're going, but need a room. She can post something to the Director's loop she has.

I knew she would...she's AWESOME!

She is awesome. She inherited me after my director and upline director lost their directorship. I have a whole different attitude after I met Barbara. I feel so fortunate to have her as my director!
