Puerto Vallarta, Award Trip

I was lucky enough to spend the first week of December out of the snow and into the sand at the Riu Palace Pacifico in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico. Our top agents were given an exclusive tour of the top highlights of Puerto Vallarta. Starting with the AMAZING Riu Palace. The hotel is gorgeous and the food is the best I've eaten at an all-inclusive resort. (They even served SUSHI...GOOD Sushi.) Our friends from Funjet Vacations and TraficTours also took us to Las Caletas for a day of kyaking and snorkeling. The next day I drove an ATV 45 minutes into the mountains of Puerto Vallarta and ended at a 15 line canopy with 2000 ft zip lines across the canyons. It was one of the most thrilling adventures of my life! We ended with a beach day and karaoke night. The trip was amazing! I can't wait to go back.

Race for a Cure

My friends at Morris Murdock Travel supported the Race for a Cure today. It was a beautiful morning with over 20,000 in attendance.

3 Things I learned...
1) 1 in every 3 women will get breast cancer
2) Utahns support the cause
3) Little pink luggage tags are a hit :)
