Fast & Furious on the Bay

-
Vin Diesel was born in Alameda County in the San Francisco Bay Area. A $5 million dollar racing boat, USA 76, competed in the 2013 America's Cup. They go hand-in-hand right? This boat is available for day sailings, sunset sailings beginning in May and private charters. I am a lover of Vin Diesel since Pitch Black and being able to book a $3,200 private charter for 20 guests on this vessel would be just lovely to this Event Planner. Be sure to contact me to book!


During a recent training on the product, the group was told that zero guests have gotten seasick on the vessel. Three guests that did get sick have but confessed it was due to their alcoholic consumption the night before. I definitely will not be doing that for my first sailing on April 28th with a few friends.


I am trusting the Sales Representative and giving this a go because the experience sounds so cool, doesn't it? I get motion sickness on BART sometimes and have to drive or sit shotgun in a car. The last time I got motion sickness was on the Harry Potter ride at Universal Studios in Hollywood. I had to close my eyes and tell myself it was almost over to not freak out. It was not a good situation. 


I am aware that I cannot ride catamarans. I lovely cousin in Kauai got us on a sailing along the Napali Coast where we snorkeled and saw sea turtles. On the way back, the sail went up and I felt sick and had to ride the boat on the back looking out at the horizon. 


I am fine on cruise ships. My recent vacation aboard the Oosterdam by Holland America was great. I was very comfortable but still felt like I was on the ship about two weeks after I returned to land. I am crossing my fingers that I am not on this sailboat for 2.5 hours feeling miserable.


I look forward to reporting back to see if I channeled my inner Vin Diesel! However, if you'd like to join us, there is still space for the April 28th sailing at 2 PM. I would be happy to book you. Please email me!

The Bad Girls Club & Love Games, Sarah Michaels, IS the Wellness Shot!

I became a fan of the Bad Girls Club when a Season 3 marathon was airing (in 2008, is it?) and I just had the television on while I was doing chores around the house. Every now and then I’d hear “*BEEP* you, you *BEEP*ing *BEEP*!”, some screaming and “This is the Amber Show” do-do-do-do-do-Doo! Eventually I was glued to the screen and not doing chores anymore and spent most of the day laughing and thinking “ohnoshedidn’t!” They were NUTS! I don’t think I could live my life with a camera following me around and for the whole world to see and criticize. But I kept on watching and when fights broke out, my boyfriend would hear the screaming from another room and ask “WHAT are you watching?!?” I am not one for reality television. MTV had it with The Real World with Pedro, Puck, Pam and whoever… when it was in San Francisco. (GO GIANTS!) With all these Big Brother, The Bachelorette and other shows popping up, there were just too many to pick and choose from to watch. And I was never a

My Most Engaging Post Yet

Christmas is just days away. A storm in the Bay Area has passed. Two holiday parties were a success. But these past 18 hours have been a whirlwind for sure. Yesterday evening, after dinner, in our home office discussing the home we are in process of purchasing, holding a gray box from The Shane Company , my boyfriend (wearing a black long sleeved shirt and his Adidas pants with white paint stains from painting the condo earlier this year, and I in jeans, my Toby Keith blue tank top from his Las Vegas “ I Love This Bar ” restaurant, my blue SFSU zipper up sweatshirt, and my brown childhood blanket draped over my lap) got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. “Yeah.” I hugged him tight and kissed him repeatedly. He was shaking and said “I can’t believe you said ‘yes.” I couldn’t stop smiling and crying and saying “I love you.” And I couldn’t help but laugh when I called him my fiancé for the first time. Wow, we’re really engaged! Since we were in the process of negotiati

It's Gonna Be May

I'm sure you've seen it. If you have a friend named May, the *Nsync memes are overtaking your Facebook and Instagram feed, right? Tomorrow ends the month of April and I was 10 posts behind the daily blog post challenge. For this Monday Motivation post, I will keep going until I reach that 30 count. Better late than never! May is turning out to be a busy month. Not surprising for this One Busy Bee. I finally have a set schedule for my part time job as a Concierge at the Argonaut Hotel at Fisherman's Wharf. I really do like the job, what I'm doing, the hotel and staff, and how the time spent here contributes to my experience in the travel and tourism industry, all the while continuing in the hospitality industry as well. Working only about 30 hours a week, it will finally allow me to schedule workouts, get in some sort of sleeping pattern and work on my business as a Travel Agent . There is so much to do! So far since I received the month's work schedule
