In my mission to provide excellent client service to every one of you, I've always been careful not to grow too fast.

It's now time to add a few more clients to my 'roster' and I need your help to do that.  And, of course, there will be rewards!

For every referral you send to me that books a trip (corporate or leisure), you will receive a $10 Tim Hortons gift card.

In addition, you will receive one entry into a draw for a $250. Visa gift card.

So here are the 'rules'!

First, somebody must tell me prior to booking about the referral.  Either make sure your friend tells me that you referred them, or you contact me and let me know!

Next, it must be a new client for me.  Past clients who have been referred and book again during the contest don't count!

There are no limits on the number of entries into the draw.  The more referrals you send that book, the more chances you have to win.

Referrals must book prior to 31 Oct 2011.

The draw will be held 01 Nov 2011.  Notification will be made shortly after the draw and congratulations will be in the November Newsletter. 

Contact me anytime! 

""One Happy Island." This, the official motto of Aruba, is plastered on each taxi's license plate. Surely Arubans are happy to see visitors: Aruba's economy is fueled by tourists' dollars, and much of the island is heavily developed for them, perhaps even more so than neighboring islands Bonaire and Curacao (the three together make up what's known as the ABC chain of islands in this deepest part of the Southern Caribbean). Most Arubans speak English and accept U.S. currency.

Arubans also speak Spanish, Dutch and Papiamento -- a language native to the ABC islands. If someone says, "Bon Bini," they are welcoming you to Aruba.

The island has a rich, layered heritage. The first people to inhabit Aruba were a nation of Arawak Indians, but in 1499, the Spanish explorer Alonso de Ojeda laid claim to the territory for Queen Isabella. Nearly 200 years later, control of Aruba, Curacao and Bonaire passed into the hands of the Dutch, whose heritage can be seen in Aruba's pastel Old World architecture.

But let's face it -- we don't come here for the history. We come here for the diversions, and Aruba is the Caribbean's theme park. There are casinos, duty-free shops, over two dozen dive sites and noteworthy shipwrecks, and a championship golf course lined with cacti and populated by friendly iguanas. Aruba's trademark divi divi trees always point in a southwesterly direction (due to trade winds that blow from the northeast), but we like to think they're leading the way to the sandy beaches that ring the island in the shape of a cheery smile.

Best of all, there really is no bad time to visit Aruba. Located only 20 miles north of Venezuela, temperatures are consistently pleasant (lows in the 70's, highs in the 80's), there's no "rainy" season and its location is far below the Atlantic hurricane belt..."
