HAPPY NEW YEAR AND THANK YOU!!

Happy New Year to everyone and wishing Peace, Happiness and Prosperity for 2011 and beyond.

I have decided to start the New Year off with truly thanking all the wonderful people I have had the good fortune to meet in the travel industry, and for all the support I have received throughout 2010. I am most blessed and fortunate to have so many wonderful people in my life.

Today, I digress from the business of bridal, destination weddings or Caribbean honeymoons to give an update of select individuals who are tops in their fields and are doing bigger and better things. One such individual is none other than Randy Doty. I do not know how many of you know this fabulous gentleman, but if you have the good fortune to meet, work with/for him, you will know that he is the all around best: In personality, behavior, industry knowledge, integrity, and in commitment. I am proud to call him friend, and I am proud to promote his new company and vision. He did not ask me to do so, and I am sure he will be absolutely surprised when he reads this.

Randy has been a Marketer in the hotel industry, for as long as I have known him and as you will see from the information below, is skilled and knowledgeable in all aspects of the hotel/travel industry. If you are in the process of revisiting or selecting a new marketing company, do consider Randy as he will go the extra mile for you.
