When you travel do you use the internet to make reservations?
Do you use Travelocity, Expedia, Orbitz, Hotels.com, etc?
Now you can go to one place and get the same deals, or even better deals for your travel!
PPC has partnered with one of the world's largest travel agencies, YTB Travel, to assist you with your travel reservations. This is a win-win partnership with you and PPC. Everytime you book your travel through TravelPPC, PPC will be allocated 60% of the commission generated through the reservations engine.
There is NO additional cost to you! It will be the same as if you booked with any of the other agencies. Somone gets commission wherever you book, so why not PPC!
Making online reservations through www.travelppc.com is as easy as any other online travel agency.
We help you with great deals and at the same time you help PPC.
In the future we will be able to make block bookings for PPC members at hotels to get the best rate, group rates for cruises (maybe a week long cruise to Alaska), group rates for international travel for our members. We can now offer great rates for all of these.
So. when you next need to make resaervations help yourself and PPC at the same time and use www.travelppc.com . Tell your friends, family and clients, they can all use our site.

Another Benefit for PPC members and their spouses!
A Retreat in Yosemite National Park
October 23-27, 2008
What's the cost for this? Just $89.00 per person per night, and it includes every meal and all applicable taxes.
What a great way to have a mini vacation and use it as a business expense! This will also be the PPC quarterly board meeting weekend.
Carlos Lozano will be our chef for the weekend, Thurs 23 through Monday lunchtime 27 October. For you who have been before you know what Carlos can do!
But wait, there's more! Tim Mathiesen, F-ASP, one of the country's great Panorama Landscape photographers, will be on hand for Friday and Saturday to assist with your Landscape photography. If you've ever photographed the landscape in Yosemite you know it's not as easy as it looks to get those perfect exposures!
This retreat is limited to the first 58 persons registering, that's the amount of accomodation we have. Persons registering for the full four nights will have preference for rooms. (PPC members and spouses only)
These cabins/houses have great decks, fireplaces, and ambience. Bring you own libations and enjoy the perfect location. October is the time when the fall colors start and, who knows, we might even see some snow!
Great photography, great instruction, great food, and great friends.
To register, go online at www.prophotoca.com and use the Yosemtie shopping cart. Click on the intructions on the shopping cart and register.
FIRST COME - FIRST SERVED - SPACE IS LIMITED - IT WILL FILL FAST!
