Spring Break Plans? March 19, 2008

It’s here! Spring Breaks are beginning all over the place. I know some families that are heading to the beach, some are spending time with family, and some are heading to New York city! I haven’t been to NYC in years. It has been so long that I would probably need to go back to the tourist level and get a real tour of the city from a reputable New York tours company.  Family in New York is a really great company that specializes in personalized custom tours of New York city based on what you want to see and who is in your tour group.  You can even have them set up a tour for you if you are on a layover in the city.  They will actually meet you in your lobby at whatever time you tell them to be there.  Like to sleep in?  Don’t have them show up until ten!  They will take you to breakfast after picking you up and you will finalize your plans together for your 9 hour tour.  Or you can choose a shorter evening tour of the city, a day trip to Atlantic City, a 5 hour day tour, and many more.  The beauty of it is that you have a lot of say in the way that your day will turn out.  When I was in College I went on a 3-day “retail merchandising” field trip.  It was actually like a 3-day tour of the city - we had a blast!   It was so easy having a guide lead us to all of the places that we wanted to see.  He also showed us great places that we had never heard about.  I love easy no- brainer vacations that include guided tours.

I know I am going to sound like a broken record when I tell you how much I love Ebates!! My total that I have made is up to $161!! I have just been using Ebates to get to the sites that I normally shop at. They mail out the checks quarterly. Mine will come in May! You can get $5 just for signing up and making your first purchase. I have also been doing great with Revolutionary Money Exchange - I’ve made $95 to date. Email me and I will give you the code for signing up (you will get $25 just for signing up…nothing to buy or do)! Another great site is BzzAgent. When you become an agent you get to help spread the word about certain products. Recently they sent me coupons for the new Chili’s Smokehouse burgers. I get to try them, share them, and report back about them. BTW…they are amazing!! Yesterday a box of Oust Disinfectant and deodorizing Spray arrived at my house. The newest campaign that I will be doing for them is for the Glade flameless candle…you know how much I love those!  Again, I will try it, share it, and spread the word. If you are like me and you love to try new products this is a blast!  If you are interested in joining I can send you an email link to join…just leave a comment or email me!  Just some fun ways to get extra money or free products
