Bubbles and Blues on
Bourbon Street
Alva Johnson,
Co-Founder of the Independent Champagne and Sparkling Wine Invitational in
New Orleans, Louisiana
In April, there is a very special event in New
Orleans that virtually serves both
as the grand finale for the fabulous French Quarter Festival and as the
opening reception for the Jazz & Heritage Festival. Heck, all by itself, the
idea of a three-day champagne and sparkling wine tasting event in the
culinary Mecca and live music capital of the United States sounds pretty
inviting to us! Unique pairings will include Ribs and Rosé.
Mmm, Mmm!

JR Ewing was Shot Here
Sally Peavy, Tourism Sales Manager, Group Tours at
the Southfork Ranch in Dallas, Texas
– A Forever Resorts Property
Say what you will about the current popularity of the TV
show LOST, it just can’t compare with the 13 year run of Dallas
which included the world famous “Who Shot JR?” episode. That single
hour-long broadcast still remains the highest rated non-finale
episode of any TV series in history by a wide margin. Why don’t y’all stop
by and we’ll visit for awhile with Sally Peavy, Forever Resorts’ very own
“Southern Belle of the Southfork Ranch.”

Fidel Drove
Kirby Jones, President of Alamar Associates,
specializing in Cuba Travel, Tourism and Trade
Consistently voted every year as the best Caribbean
Island (by far it’s the biggest), Cuba is open to tourists from every
country in the world except the United States. What?! We can go to North
Korea but not Havana?! During a trip in ’74 as a free-lance journalist sent
on assignment to interview Fidel Castro, Kirby Jones realized he was
becoming passionate about Cuba and its people. His passion turned into a
career. We’ll talk with this expert in Cuba trade and tourism about the very
real possibility that the US may lift travel restrictions to this island
nation in the very near future. Cuba Libre? We’ll drink to that! Lean

I Need a Miracle Everyday
Caroline Boudreaux,
Founder and Executive Director
of The Miracle Foundation
We’ve all seen those commercials on TV that implore us to “sponsor a
starving orphan child for only 15 cents a day.” The ads are emotionally
compelling to say the least, but still we wonder: Does the money really get
to these kids, will such a small amount make any difference, are these kids
even for real? Well, when you donate through the Miracle Foundation, part of
the charitable program is to actually travel to India to personally nurture
and work with the child you have sponsored. So, stop wondering already and
pack your bags. Lean

Limo for 30
Jeff Gayduk,
President of Premier
Tourism Marketing, Inc, Publisher of Leisure Group Travel magazine.
Group travel remains
exceptionally resilient in the US despite some rather dismal economic
circumstances recently. Niche and affinity group travel including reunions,
students, sports, families, church and faith-based are all doing remarkably
well. Most are traveling together in style aboard the latest in modern
motorcoaches featuring such amenities as WiFi, kitchens, digital
entertainment systems and luxurious interiors. Definitely not your father’s
motorcoach!
