Travel Adventure

I have started a new adventure!  I have become a Travel Agent! Seeing how we love to travel and I enjoy helping others find the best deal for their budget it seemed liked the perfect fit.

Picking the best host site was a few months of research, but I ended up going thru KHM Travel.  They had the best reviews and all the help and training they provide are amazing. I got to choose my own travel company name, DRJ Vacations which my clients are able to look up travel at their own time and once I passed my final assessment I was invited to join an agent only facebook page for extra help from other agents. You can also visit my facebook page to watch for upcoming deals on cruises and all inclusive vacations.

So now that I have everything set up and all the basic training done it was time to test my skills by booking my first vacations, it just so happens that we have been planning a Disney vacation for later this year.  So I did a lot of looking around at the different booking engines and found the best deal on the Disney Travel Agent site.  Besides getting a great deal on our room at Disney Caribbean Beach Resort, we got a water view pirate room,  they also offer free pick-up from the airport, the Disney Magic Bands and a coupon book full of discount offers for food and shops.

To say we are excited is an understatement!  

So if you are in need of some travel assistants I would be glad to help you.   Feel free to email me at drjvacations@gmail.com.

I Need Something

Lately, I've been thinking about doing something, besides being a stay at home mom.  But what to do?  I want to do something that I enjoy, something that I can do from home, earn a little extra cash and get some great discounts.  So what am I thinking about doing?  A Travel Agent.

We love to travel, we are working on a Disney Vacation right now and maybe a girls trip next year.  I love to find the best deals I can find.  And getting paid to help others find their dream vacation, family vacation or destination wedding just sounds like an amazing job.  And with our son starting school in the fall I will need something to fill the time he is away.

So I have been doing some research trying to figure out what all I need to do to get it started.  I have found some website that has been very helpful. Most set you up with your very own travel website.  They help train you and find a vacation type to specialize in.  Most websites say you can start making money right away, but the one I'm most interested in keeps it real.  They tell you that you most likely won't make money in the first 60-120 days.  This is because they provide training that helps you pick a specialty and how to run your business in a way to help provide you a steady income.

For now, I'm still weighing my options, but I'm really thinking about it.  So keep me in mind when you're thinking about that next family vacation.  I'm sure when I decided to do this I'll
share my website on my blog and facebook page.

Trying

Do you have a kid whose is independent?  Forceful with their words? Would rather sit in timeout all day instead of picking up his shoes and putting them away?  Well, I do!

Yes, this cute little face loves to tell me no, loves to yell at me when he isn't getting his way and enjoys every moment he gets to push my buttons.

He does have those moments where he is sweetest, caring and loving person ever.  Then the other side comes out! That independent little boy, trying to figure out what he can get away with and find his way!  I feel like I could lose my mind!  But I try to keep my cool and get him calmed down.  I try to get him to use his words to tell me instead of yelling at me. Mind you this doesn't always happen but we try.

I guess that's all we could do, keep trying.  Keep trying to get him to calm down and listen. Keep trying to get him to understand that it is not appropriate to act this way.  Yes, it will take time, but until then I will try and keep my cool.  I will try and help my son grow and understand.  I know one day a light will come on and it will all just click. But for now, I will just keep trying.
