New Brunswick Visit

I had the priviledge of visiting our Marriott Regional Reservations Center in Fredricton, NB, Canada this past week. What a valuable experience it was! I got to meet the people who are on the other side of the transfer button, and learn just how talented they really are! They also got to attach faces and personalities to properties too.

Sitting in, and listening to reservation calls was eye opening. Each call from a different property  - and they were able to converse with the guest as though they personally intimately familiar with that property, and answer questions with confidence using the information provided to them on screen.

Lots of fabulous prizes were distributed to the associates that visited us throughout the day. One lucky person will be dining on Lobster very soon!

4 of us were there representing MCHG's Marriott properties. Courtyard Bangor, Fairfield Augusta, Fairfield Brunswick, Courtyard Portland, Fairfield Exeter NH, and Towne Place Gilford,NH!

I can't wait to see my new friends again - I am hoping they will come visit me -

April Fool

The April Fool is anyone who does nottake advantage of this beautiful weather and come to Maine for the weekend! It is too early to be working in your yard, and your house will need cleaning next week too - but the Maine weather is perfect right now!

I am thinking of how I will enjoy the weather and have come up with several ideas:
1) Walk Back Cove - even just half way around
2) Sit on the Eastern Promenade and look at the water
3) Walk around Macworth Island
4) Fill my birdfeeder AGAIN ( those little critters are hungry )
5) Ride in my car with the top down
