We’ll be mixing business with pleasure on this 3-day weekend escape to Ensenada, Mexico, the most popular seaport on the Baja peninsula.

Some of the attractions to choose from include the local geyser, La Bufadora; Bajamar Golf Resort; Baja Bandidos Horseback Trail; and the incredible bargains in the duty-free shops along Avenida Primera.

While at sea the next day, spend some time in our organized workshops listening and learning from fellow Leads Club members who are marketing and networking their way to success! Talk to your tax advisor about how to get the most tax benefits for your business by your attendance.

Leads Club turns 30 this year. To celebrate our anniversary we are going on a Caribbean Cruise.

For those of you who have never been on a cruise or it’s been awhile, here are a couple of tips for you to consider when planning for a cruise.

• A cruise can be the perfect vacation. You can be as busy as you wish or do nothing at all.
• You only pack and unpack once and most of the luggage handling is done for you.
• Meals and snacks are available 24/7 and most are casual.
• Activities are varied and plentiful. There are pools, workout facilities, a Spa, Casino, Library, Internet Café, structured activities for children, ping pong, special interest groups meeting and much more. When not in workshops, you can find me relaxing/networking on the “Serenity Deck (Adults only).

Check out our Leads Club 30th Anniversary Cruise page for specific information on our sailing. Join us on Carnivals Inspiration for the time of your life!
