Show me your photos!

I love it when the worlds of "Tech" and Travel mix. One of my favorite things to do is browse on Flickr. (I have to watch myself...it can be addictive). What's so cool is that in every amazing place that I dream of one day seeing...there is a photographer who lives and strolls and snaps photos. So like, where you and I walk around town taking random beautiful pictures of drake park...

fever dream

I just think that's the coolest thing. (click on those photos above...you'll see what i mean.)

But more than being just plain cool, Flickr is also a great way for you to share your vacation photos with your friends and family across the country (world?).
Just go to Flickr.com and set up a user id and an account. It's totally FREE. The process for getting photos from your computer onto Flickr is super fast and easy! Then you just copy the url from your photo page (that's that line of information that shows up at the top of your webpage and tells you where in the heck you're at on the web...it starts with "http://") and email it to your friends and they come and look...and make comments...and wish they could have gone with you and so you all decide to go somewhere exotic together next year and you call us and we take care of the details and then when you post the pictures next year...they're in them! woo hoo!
See how cool technology is!
Happy Flickring!

What is a Blog?!


or...
What is a Blog and Why do you have one?!
Lots of people are still asking this question, and we don't mind explaining.
What:
This is a blog.
Blog is the shortened name for what is called a Weblog, which is really not much more than an online journal type thing. We've made our blogs in Blogger because it's really easy to use, but there are other free online companies doing the same thing and they're pretty cool too.
Why:
Now that's the real question isn't it? We want our clients to know we value them as friends as well as clients. This is a way for you to get to know us a little better. When we learn about fantastic new destinations or specials, we can talk about them here. We'll also talk about our adventures and families just for the fun of it...and I (jennie) will give little tech tips like this from time to time, I believe our clients can truly benefit from a lot of the stuff that's out there.
We're hoping you'll talk back!:
