GREEK ISLES INCENTIVE TRIP DAY 1:

Hello there! I'm so excited to be back from the amazing SU! Incentive Trip to the Greek Isles! I earned this all-expense paid trip back in September and it seems like it took forever for this week to get here! I had hoped to share pics and posts while on the trip but the Internet was expensive and it didn't work a lot of the time so I decided to wait until I got home to share this trip with you day by day:)

Our trip officially started Friday night when we drove to Moline to catch an early flight on Saturday morning to Dallas, and then on to Rome. It was a LONG 11 hour flight but I had over 50 swaps to assemble so they kept me busy:)

We arrived in Rome early Sunday morning and had breakfast at this sweet little cafe. We ordered several of these tiny cups of coffee as we'd been up for over 24 hours and still had a few hours to go until we'd get to the boat.

We pretty much plopped at this cafe until it was time to board the bus. Unfortunately, we didn't get to spend much time in Rome, but we got to experience a little bit of the culture in this sweet little cafe...even though they didn't seem to have a lot of patience for us tourists:)

Once we finally got to our room on the boat, this was the view from our balcony. We were pleasantly surprised at the size of our room...way bigger than the one we had 20 years prior for our Anniversary!
I'm going to add some more photos later as right now I'm not able to edit any of my photos for some reason...gggrrr!

One of the funnest parts of the trip was the pillow gifts that we got every day. This fun bag was waiting for me when we got to our room!

A package of Basic Black Dimensionals was attached to the bag along with a fun tag. The Dimensionals are a sneak peek from the new Holiday Catalog that will be coming out soon. This is one of my favorite perks as a Demonstrator...being able to get early access to all the catalogs!

Inside the bag was another bag, haha. But the inside bag is also a backpack, and a little more dressy, but they both hold a lot...and I needed that to haul all my gifts home from the cruise!

I'm going to have all of my gifts displayed at the Pad so you can see them at my upcoming events!

I apologize for the poor quality of these photos...for some reason I can't access my photos to edit them, so I'll have to make due for today. Another fun part of the Incentive Trip is the Hospitality Room. You can go there to meet lots of fun & friendly folks from the SU! home office and you get to Spin & Win every day! The first day I won this new Embossing Folder from the Holiday Catalog...you'll get to see lots of Sneak Peeks all week long!

Well this wraps up our first day on board the ship in Rome. I'm going to be sharing lots all week long here and on my Facebook group SU!P FRIENDS! Make sure to leave me a comment here and go over to my Facebook group and share my videos all week long to get entered from both places to win prizes from the new Holiday Catalog! Make sure to stop back tomorrow as I'll be sharing more Sneak Peeks! Thanks so much for stopping by, and it sure feels good to be back home:)
