Exclusive Departure - SeaDream Yacht
Who do you know that is celebrating a special occasion in the next 12-18 months? We have the perfect solution! In 2001 I had the opportunity to sail aboard one of the two amazing, exquisite SeaDream yachts in the Mediterranean and fell in love with the ship, the service, and of course the experience!
Jeff and I recently returned from the LUXURY TRAVEL EXPO in Las Vegas, where we had a chance to speak with 2 of their senior executives, who reminded me of what a unique product their ships are (there are only two): "It's yachting, not cruising"

Up in the Air
From Jason Reitman, the Oscar® nominated director of "Juno," comes a dramatic comedy called "Up in the Air" starring Oscar® winner George Clooney as Ryan Bingham, a corporate downsizing expert whose cherished life on the road is threatened just as he is on the cusp of reaching ten million frequent flyer miles and after he's met the frequent-traveler woman of his dreams.
And speaking of frequent flyers miles, allow us to introduce you to Dan Tobin, Identity Travel's Travel Award Specialist. Dan Tobin is the most recent addition to our company, and his expertise garners him a 95% success rate with getting those "impossible" mileage award tickets and hotel stays. For a nominal fee, Dan works magic so that travelers can redeem mileage awards; even when you can't get it yourself or by calling the airline directly! Certainly, in a real world situation, Ryan Bingham a.k.a. George Clooney would have benefitted from Dan's unique service. We're pitching Dan for the sequel!
