Our 10 year anniversary is in 2013, so maybe I'll actually be in the running for a PC trip by then, LOL!!
 
2011 will be our 10th. I'd sooooo love to go to Japan... we went on a tour of Tokyo last year and I want to go back! It would be even better if PC was paying! :D

How long ago was the last Disney trip?!?! I would love that trip, as would my kids and hubby!

That was 2005
 
I just want to earn a trip! LOL!!!!
 
With my luck it will be Alaska again the first year I earn!!
 
Italy was what some one said at a meeting but I dont know how true it is
 
My director and I think it may be somewhere located on the picture in KCN. So somewhere in Eastern Europe or Western Russia, maybe?!?!

Although, I'd love to go to Tuscany!! Our 10th is November 2008. I'd love for PC to pay for our HONEYMOON since we didn't get one the first time around!!

Our 10 years will be in 2009, but I wouldn't mind a trip for our 9 year too!!!! I'm determined to earn a trip this year. I let my business slack off for the 1st half of the year by just being content with whatever I had (which wasn't much!). But this year I'm working it from day 1!

My 10 year is 2009 too! But I want to make the trip for next year! I can't wait to find out what it is!
 
I am guessing something like Montana for the local top trip. They usually have a family vacation every few years. After 911 it was Colorado and Italy I think. I was way too chicken to go out of the country. Now that my kids are older and I've matured (I think) and I'm ready to go!

I would also love England, Spain, Buenos Aires or Mexico. Now that I am buying a passport I am ready to go anywere!
 
I agree! I would love Mexico!! Accupulco, Cancun, Cabos
Ahhhh....paradise! Better yet....anyplace warm and exotic!

Oh, I wouldn't complain about a trip this year too!
 
How hard is it to earn the trips?? I'm still in my ss1 so I've never tried for one before....

I feel like the new kid on the block only bee with PC since April and We just celebrated anniversary one last month so my 10th anniversary is 2015
 
I would CRY if it was Greece! I want to go there SOO bad. Very close friends of ours have a home right on the Mediterranean Sea.. like 10 steps from their driveway! They've told us we can go over whenever we want, but we can't afford it. They go there now and then, but their main home is in ritzy NJ.. Yea, they have 2 houses.. they're loaded. LOLBUT I will not be against a free trip anywhere! Tuscany would be beautiful too -- once I saw Under the Tuscan Sun I wanted to go there! When will we find out? Like the first week in January or something like that, right? I really want to bust my butt and earn a trip in 2007 - I was violently sick on our honeymoon and I want to go on a 2nd one with DH. Course, with my luck, I'll be like 9 months pregnant at the time of the trip and won't be able to go! LOL ;)
 
I say Ireland would be wonderful! I've always wanted to go there, and how great to take my husband there for Free!!!! I've been a stay at home mom for our whole marriage and until PC came along he paid for everything and although he is very encouraging of PC I still feel like he doesn't think of me contributing any money to the household! So, I plan to work extra hard this year to get a trip to some wonderful place......just so long as it isn't a cold place!!!!!!
 
I love the fact that if we cant go on a trip that we can get gift certificates instead! It is awesome for the preggo ones who cant fly 8 months pregnant!
 
If I earned Ireland and was 8 months pregnant I would go and lie about my due date!! :)
 
I flew from Japan to California for a training when I was 7 months pregnant. I got the ok from my doctor but still got stares on the plane and at the training workshops!
The best part of the whole flight was on the way back...SF to Osaka, I had a WHOLE row to myself. I laid down,buckled my legs and belly in and went to sleep!!
 
At our cluster meeting this month, my director had been on an upper level director conference call earlier that day. She said the person leading the call said "let me check my mickey mouse watch for the time". She thought it was weird that she put it that way....just another idea;) I'll be happy with wherever we're going; cause I am going somewhere next year!

Maybe she really does have a mickey mouse watch!! LOL
 
Oh-I hope it's not Disney. I REALLY want to go to Disney in a HIGH level when it's the incentive, but I don't think I'd be ready next year!!! My hubby & I lived in Florida for 4 years & went to Disney around once a month. We had MAJOR withdraws when we moved (of course we went twice more the year we moved--found out I was pregnant there!) & I would LOVE to go for FREE--just not yet!!
 
They just did Disney a few years ago...I don't think they would do it again this soon.
 
It could be the other Disney property... I don't know which they went to last time, but I bet that Disney has a bigger draw than other places because of the family factor. I would definetly work a lot harder if I knew Disney was in my reach!!

Too soon. If you look at the list, Disney is every four years. You'll just have to settle for somewhere else this year. ;)
 
I hope it is not Disney. Hubby and I are empty nesters, and free to travel. We have no grandchildren yet, so Disney holds no draw for me. Now, ITALY? I am in !!!!
 
It has been about 4 or 5 years since it was Italy. That one I'd actually work towards. If I remember correctly, the last time Italy was offered, there was also a family-oriented option to Keystone, Colorado at the same level (earners could choose trip for 2 to Italy or trip for 4 to Keystone).

My husband & I had a BLAST just the two of us at Disney! We would see all those parents with screaming kids & think it was MUCH better to travel as a couple to Disney!!
 
I actually went to disney by myself...long story..supposed to meet friends planes were missed...
anyway, I had a blast. It was a really relaxing trip. No one but me to please!!!!! there is so much adult things to do at Disney don't rule it out just cuz you don't have kids.
