I don't think this was asked? What job do you currently hold?

First and foremost I am a SAHM!
2. Bookeeping 40 hours a month for my parents
3. TPC 4+/- shows a month!
 
Are you traveling?I posted this poll on CS as well...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's see who all will be traveling PC style? It would be nice to be able to set up some Chef Success meet & greets on each of the trips!
 
not travelling this year:cry:....but according to my goals, I will be next year!:)
 
There are two cruise options....I'll be on the Sovereign out of Port Canaveral with Kristi!!! :):):)
 
I'm out of Port Canaveral too.
 
London with the extension for DH and I!

Me too, me too! I can't WAIT!!!:) We just took a trip with the kids for a week after Christmas to my sister's wedding and I tell ya, with two kids (3 and 6 -and the 3 year old a very independent/defiant little girl) it's NOT much of a vacation. I'm looking at Leadership as a vacation, then the cruise in April as a BIG vacation because we're not taking the kids. Yipee!!:) I can't wait to meet those on the cruise out of Port Canaveral.
 
Well I did decide to bring my 2 boys. I made a promise to them and I can't turn back. I just booked our air today. It will still be a vacation. They are 7 and 10. They are looking fwd to the kids programs the cruise has for them.

Yes, they pay ALL those little tips that usually occur on a cruise (the head waiter, waiter, statesroom attendant, etc) so it's SO cool!!! The only thing we paid for was our bar tab. I can't wait to meet you too!
 
OK, why are the rest of you cruising out of Port Canaveral? Do you know something I don't know?
 
I just earned the cruise at the end of Dec. When do I get the info to pick which cruise I want to go on? This is my first PC Trip :-)
 
I picked Port Canaveral because I'm taking my kids. We are making a longer trip out of this and going to Sea World too.
 
There was a place for it on CC. I just went in and I don't see it now. I do know that registration for the trip opens up on January 28th.

That's right!!! :D We're hoping to have our ENTIRE house tiled and FINISHED before our cruise so we'll truly be enjoying it and RELAXING!
 
Debi --
My husband and I have been debating, but I think we are going to cruise out of Miami so we can go to the Keys... so we'll see you there!!!

That's how we feel. We want to go to Miami AND the Keys.
 
Is anybody else getting pumped up now that registration is right around the corner? This is my first PC trip so I am over the moon happy!:party::party:
 
Woo hooo.....we can register on Monday!
 
DC registration opened up yesterday. I've been going back & forth about the flight times and hopefully we'll get it all settled in the next few days. I got a pretty certificate in the mail from HO for reaching Level 4...I can't wait to frame it!

HOw fun that registration is open for you! That's so exciting!!

Isn't that neat? I got a certificate too and it was just for Level 2! I may put it in the binder that I pass around at my shows. I haven't quite decided.

Oh, me too! Totally! I'm going to be acting like a 5 year old with ADHD! (No offense....my son has ADHD so I REALLY know what that's like.)

Amy, what ship will you be on?
 
my hubby picked the Sovereign
 
Woo-hoo! We have our e-tickets for London! :)
DH is starting a new job next month, but his employers knew up front that his having time off to go to London was a condition of his accepting the job! (Really, we have to have priorities, right?!);)
