HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I hope all of you had wonderful holiday celebrations with close friends and family. I am also wishing you Health, Wealth, and Prosperity in 2024! This month’s Newsletter reminds us that Alaska Season is right around the corner. A little background for you…In the early days of the company, I didn’t allow our mobility equipment to be used for the Alaska land packages. Frankly, I figured everything would get torn up and we would have many issues. A big TAHNK YOU to Holland America for giving me the opportunity to see how accessible the land tours are. They arranged for me to take the land tour from Fairbanks to Seward with stops along the way. We were on the double decker train and buses with stops in Denali, Anchorage, and etc. It was AMAZING! If you haven’t done it before, I highly recommend it! I was so impressed with the tour’s accessibility that I called the office during the trip and told my team to immediately start accepting mobility equipment orders. We have been busy with those requests ever since. Orders are already rolling in for Vancouver, Seattle, Anchorage, and Fairbanks. We want to be able to accommodate everyone. So, don’t wait too long to book yours. The logistics in Alaska can be a challenge to say the least. The other interesting information to see below includes a mention in Readers Digest, the importance of having a copy of the SNG Confirmation during the trip along with both our Hotel and Testimonial of the month. Please check them out.
