A whirlwind week but we're learning & having fun!

We're here in the Lake Conroe/Houston North KOA Kampground at the AGS Publishing annual meeting. It's a huge park. I believe the manager said 48 acres. Even though the economy has slowed down, this place has a lot of RVs in it.

We did our training last month so the annual meeting is a good refresher before we go on our first job next week in Abilene.

Turns out everything we learned about how to do KOA Guest Guides in our training is now changed. I must say we're very impressed. KOA is putting a lot of "fun" into their new branding efforts.

We've always been big fans of KOA Kampgrounds and now were even more impressed. And our first job is at a KOA. How good is that...

We have new AGS logo jackets, name tags, and our business cards will be here tomorrow. So we're all set. Just a little review on our part and we'll be good to go.

Everyone at AGS is so nice and extremely helpful. There are two teams (Bob and I are one of them) who are "newbies" here. This means we've been through our training but have not worked a job yet. But that all changes come Monday morning.

We finish all of the company festivities about noon Friday and then I will catch up on laundry & reading. We'll also start setting up our new job and review our ops manual. From what I can see and what we hear from other rep teams, this looks like a great opportunity to travel and make money -- good money -- along the way. We're excited!

Oh yes, while we're here we'll find out where more of our future destinations will be. I'll keep you posted...

Right now we know we're going to Abilene for 2 weeks, then Ruidoso, NM for 2 weeks. Then we'll go back to Denton, TX and tie up loose ends (translation-do taxes) and visit Bob's mom for her 95th birthday, then on the road again.

Shut eye time for us now... till next time...
