Accentuate the Positive

I think its time that we accentuate the positive. Amidst all the doom and gloom, did you know that 90% of us are still paying the mortgage and are still employed?? I'm starting the rumor that the economy is starting to turnaround-I want everyone to jump on the bandwagon with me to spread this news. Since the 1st of March, my business is actually up! Business is up 14% over last year and getting better!

I just returned from a trip to Las Vegas. From everything that I had read and seen on the news, I expected the casinos and shows to be very quiet. Boy, was I in for a surprise! We arrived on a Wednesday late afternoon. The airport was busy. I admit, I didn't have to stand in a long queue for a taxi, but the traffic was as bad as I remembered. We did get a great rate at the beautiful Wynn hotel and the restaurants now offer prixe fixe menus ($59 approximately per person) if you are interested in a "deal". We had pre reserved tickets on-line for Love at the Mirage (Cirque de Soleil show featuring Beatles music). -- there wasn't an empty seat in the house! We had dinner at Sinatra's in the Encore and were lucky to get a table in the bar without a reservation--the dining room was full! By Friday, the gang was all there. The casinos were busy, the sidewalks were full and people were everywhere.

I'm looking for last minute 7 night cruises for Spring Break and guess what--they are booked!! I can still find space on shorter cruises and cruises 3 months out-but people are realizing that there are some fantastic opportunities out there and taking advantage.

So I'm starting the rumor that the economy is starting to turnaround, won't you join me and we'll start to make it a reality by spreading the word.
