After a soaking by Sandy and with Winter breathing down our necks, our November meet-up is going to be a much needed Tropical Travel Massive.

Our sponsors are five hotels from the sun and sand filled Caribbean and South Florida... where the average collective temperature in Winter is 82 degrees.

Creative cocktails and hors d'oeuvres will be sponsored by these five fabulous hotels from 6 - 8 pm:

San Juan Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino

Marco Island Marriott Beach Resort, Spa & Golf

Harbor Beach Marriott Resort & Spa

JW Marriott Cancun Resort & Spa and CasaMagna Marriott Cancun Resort

Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino

Representatives from all the hotels, as well as their PR Teams from

Diamond Public Relations, look forward to the chance to meet you and chat travel for the upcoming season. (And these guys don't do anything according to the norm, so expect lots of fun and twists at this month's event... definitely not one to miss!)

Wouldn't you like to be somewhere warm and tropical come January? You'll have that chance if you attend... there will be not, one, not two, but TEN trips given away, including a grand prize winner who will receive FIVE tropical trips for two (forget holiday shopping, you can keep one and give away four free trips for the holidays and be everyone's favorite family member!)

Look forward to seeing you there! 150 capacity; RSVP required. First come, first served.
