I am getting excited about learning the new trip destination (as I know you are too)...so what are you thoughts about the destination? :love:
Last night at the cluster meeting, Hawaii was shot down as we went about 4 years ago...one of the directors suggested Australia:eek: , but weren't sure if logistically speaking this would be possible:confused: ...any thoughts about where we be traveling next year?:rolleyes:
 
How long ago was Italy? Now that I have my passport that would be a trip that I would like.

Several years ago they did an all enclusive trip to Cancun. I missed it by 2000 points...hopefully, that will never happen again!

I really hope they do Hawaii because I am yearning to go back there. By the time we would be able to go on the trip it will be 5 years...who knows?

My kids want Disney...no surprise there...
 
When I thought about this...I thought "what if it were to Istanbul?" ...which is where my husband is from, and my mother-in-law is there...I got tears in my eyes!
How awesome would it be to earn a trip to take us to visit her! Although I'd love somewhere I've never been...I'd love Spain! My husband has been there twice with work, and says he loves it...better than France! It's closer in culture to Istanbul (Turkey) ...i think that's why...the whole Mediterranean thing would be wonderful...Greece, Spain, Istanbul, and Italy...a Mediterranean Cruise!!!

ahhhhhh
 
I'm game for anywhere, lol!
I'd love Hawaii, Ireland, or Disney the most....I can't wait to find out!:D
 
Italy would be great, and it's been about 6 years since that was the trip.

How about something completely new, like Rio de Janeiro, Brazil? Argentina? African spa/safari?

Africa would completely rock, but so would Italy and Brazil! So many places...it's just not fair!
 
Alaskan Cruise or Disney!!
 
Disney and Alaskan cruise were both offered very recently. Give it a couple of years for them to show up in the rotation again. (I did hear that Doris' personal favorite trip incentive is the Alaskan Cruise, so it WILL be offered again.)
 
Aruba would be awsome , I can't wait for the cruise
 
I would work my tushie off for a trip to Greece or Ireland!:D

Um...uh...not sure if I'd like it there after the whole Natalie thing...
 
I went to Curacao for our honeymoon, and I'd love to go back there. (Part of the ABC islands --Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao).

However, I welcome the chance to see a new place! Europe would be nice, or an island is always needed for R&R.

My hubby hasnt had a vacation since our honeymoon which was 2 years ago!! I am hoping to take a mini vacation in Feb. to Orlando....

CANT WAIT!

I agree and WAY TOO many drugs for sale EVERYWHERE for my liking.
 
Aruba is AWESOMEI've been 3 times. If I every won the lottery, I would without a doubt by a house in Aruba. I love it there. Unfortunately it got a bad rap from the Natalie thing. Unfortuantely that happens EVERYWHERE - just not Aruba.

Since I'm aiming for a trip this year - I would say, I don't care where it's at, I just hope to work my "bubba behind" off to get it! :p
 
Liz is right there are good parts and bad parts to every country. You just have to know where to go, and always travel with someone or a group.

There are alot of places that people wouldn't want to go any more with all the things happening lately if they just focused on the negative, including malls, churches, and even your own home!

What are some of your favorite destinations from the past? I'm just curious as to where PC has sent consultants before.
 
whatever it is, I'm thinking it is going to be BIG! I mean not only are we getting double points, but EXTRA Bonus points too!
 
When I first started, the level 1 was a hotel certificate that you could use for a couple of nights at any of a list of hotels. Level 2 was usually a trip that tied in to Leadership, which was in April, not January. Some of those destinations included San Diego, San Antonio and Atlanta.

Some of the other trips I can recall them offering recently are: Keystone, CO; Italy; Hawaii; Alaskan cruise; Disney; Austria; San Francisco.

I know PC likes to keep the trips family oriented, but I would like Vegas! I don't think it would be this year as I can't imagine needing that many points for Vegas, but wouldn't that be fun?! All the lights, the shows, shopping, good food, and of course gambling if you want...
 
Ohhh, Keystone, my husband would love that! Makes me excited to earn a trip this year!

That was the family option the year that Italy was offered.
 
Ok...did I miss somethingI know there are double points from 1/13/2008 - 2/14/2008, but I didn't see the BONUS points.

Has my blonde hair taken over??!!

I may be mistaken, but it seems as though you can "double dip" with shows held and submitted from Jan 13-31 meaning you can earn double points for each dollar earned and points for $3000 and $6000 in Jan sales.

Do the double points have to be shows that are held and submitted from Jan 13-Feb 14? So my point is if I have a show on the 12th wouldn't it be better to hold it on the 13th so I can get double points as well hopefully point for Jan sales? Am I making any sense? :confused:
 
I think it's just submitted sales
 
The points have very specific held and submitted dates for both the bonus and double.

BONUS: January sales held and submitted January 1-31. Get 1500 bonus points when you have $3000 sales, 3000 bonus points with $6000 sales

DOUBLE POINTS: For sales held and submitted January 13-February 14 get 2 points per dollar

(And the 2 shows for the HWC host item are held and submitted February 15-29.)

See page 2 of: https://www.pamperedchef.com/images/cc/us/pdf/cs_08jan_feb.pdf
 
okay, so I didn't read the small print......Ann, is there ANYTHING that you don't know???!!!
 
I just copy it off the fine print. :)

It's not knowing the information... it's knowing where to find the information. ;)

(And I actually sent a note to my team last week with this info, so they could be aware of it. Which is why I knew the info was on the flyer.)
 
But you couldDate your shows for the 13th and after, submit them prior to month end for January and then, providing you have $3000 in sales, get 1500 bonus points plus 6000 points for double point time - meaning that you just got 7500 points.

When you think of it like this, I'm thinking - the bar to get a trip has just been increased substaintially.

Just don't cheat yourself out of the tablecloth & apron you can earn for a show submitted before the 9th.......
 
Not to mention that it's actually lying to submit a show with a date that isn't the date it was held. You've got a little leeway with catalog shows, but cooking shows should have the actual date of the show on them.
