Important Passport Information - Beginning December 31, 2006


Beginning December 31, 2006, US citizens will need a valid passport to travel to and from Bermuda, Canada, Mexico, Central & South America and the Caribbean (excluding Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands). If any portion of your trip will take place after December 31, you'll need a valid passport to re-enter the U.S.

When I travel, which is frequently, I always carry my passport. It’s just a good practice. That way it’s always with me and I never need to go looking for it when the occasion arises and I need it. I’m a magician who lives on Maui and you can see me performing magic and comedy at a convention, company banquet, luncheon or welcome reception that is held here in Hawaii. My magic has taken me all over the world: Canada, Mexico, England, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, France, Portugal, Spain, Israel, Belgium, the Netherlands and Poland. Most of my work is on the mainland: Anaheim, Atlanta, Chicago, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit, DC, Disney World, Huntsville, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, LA, Los Angeles, New York, Orlando, Phoenix, San Francisco, West Springfield and back in my old home state of Michigan.

Here’s an extra little travel tip. I have made xerox copies of my passport. One copy is in my office, an other is at home where my wife can find it and the third is in my carry on bag. In the event I lose my passport or it gets stolen, I have a copy with me or I’m a phone call away of getting a copy or at least I can get the number to get a replacement. This is a small precaution that I haven’t needed to use but it’s there. Another idea is to scan your passport and have it in your laptop computer.

For more information on how to get a passport, prices and requirements go to www.travel.state.gov.

I wish you safe and happy travels.

Good Fortune by "I Love Lucy" Lucille Ball

"I don’t know anything about luck or good fortune. I’ve never banked on it, and I’m afraid of people who do. Fortune to me is something else: hard work - and realizing what is opportunity and what isn’t."

- Lucille Ball
1911-1989

Are you exhibiting at a trade show and want great results and good fortune?

Being at a trade show is not enough to bank on.

What would it be worth to you if you knew specific strategies that allowed you to connect and influence potential customers at a trade show with class, style and professionalism? Stopping a crowd, telling them about your product or service, and then getting a lead or sale is what makes it all worthwhile. Use the opportunity to have a professional spokesperson like me in your booth. With my knowledge and hard work you will have good fortune at your next trade show exhibit.

I've been doing just that since 1984. A quick phone call to 1-800-874-2591 can help with the success of your next trade show.
