Need a Holiday? Try YMT Vacations

My wife needs to go on holiday... so I told her about YMT vacations. This company has a number of packages for the Rose Parade in Pasadena. She'd like that. She loves California, the only state in the US in which she would live. She hates snow and cold weather, and it's starting to get a bit windy and rainy here in Cape Town, South Africa.

True, YMT Vacations markets itself more for the senior market, but I think with a grey wig and a bit of makeup we can make her look like a youthful looking 60 year old. She won't mind, and maybe she can even take her mother with her.

She better start being nicer to me, though, or I'll send her on the Alaska cruise offered by YMT vacations. Maybe then she'll learn to appreciate snow. I'll take the Rose Parade package, and see if I can sneak off to watch the Rose Bowl while in Pasadena. But now just have to figure out what to do with the kids...

K-Designers: The Best Remodeling Company... Ever

Having worked for a construction company last year, marketing their services, I know a little about the business. So when I came across this article online about K-Designers, I knew exactly what they meant. The fact that a construction company will do the work first without a down payment is indeed something of which to take note. Most construction companies don't do that. Happiness is key to customer satisfaction, and one of my pet peeves is companies, regardless of their industry, that fail in this respect.

Frankly, it is unlikely that a company that has not taken any money off of you will do a bad job. They want to get paid, and if a company like K-Designers were to fall short, it seems as if they are honorable enough to make sure it gets made right. The more I think about it, the more I wish I had happened across K-Designers rather than the company I worked for last year. The company for which I worked last year still owes me money... and I'd bet that K-Designers would have been able to pay me...
