Ellen and I were discussing how we can support the economy in Atlanta. A lot of it is going to be by going local. Supporting other small business persons and friends like ourselves is a smart way to begin. We feel Realtors can be at the center of the fix in he economy because we come in contact with so many individuals. We're calling this Blog Type "A Shout Out!" So this is the first of a few Local Blogs "Shout Outs" to start that off. The Blog was written by my wife Ellen!

I had lunch the other day with Jeanny Elmquist and her children Luke and Victoria. Jeanny is a Corporate Travel Consultant at Travel Office LLC, but don't be under the incorrect assumption she can't do individuals or families because Jeanny's middle name is Family so to speak. Usually the first half hour of our conversations are about her sisters, brothers, Mom, nieces, nephews, and their children scattered everywhere. She would have to be a travel consultant with that large extended family! Her in-laws live in Pennsylvania and her husband has family in Malmo, Sweden where my nephew lives with his new Swedish wife. In other words, with my granddad also originating from Pennsylvania, Jeanny and I have a lot in common. While the kids played, we were talking about cruises and she told me about this fabulous concept that UCLA has partnered with the cruise lines she represents. When you're on a cruise, your child can take a fun, informative, hands on science course, I just loved that. I was counting on my two hands the number of things a multi-aged family can do on a cruise line and at 38, Jeanny had just gotten started. Across the entire age spectrum, in addition to the usual swimming, shuffleboard, exercising, dancing, movie theater, eating, drinking and general merry making, it would be impossible not to have a great time no matter where your destination. She sent three ebrochures to my email so I could take a look at rates, free stuff, and programs. Ask her for more details, but the best part was the pricing and many include free upgrades - some cruises are only $80 a night and one fit for a royal honeymoon was only $249 a night. Tell her your dream cruise and she can make it happen. If your personnel office is looking for a new corporate travel agent, she's the gal for you. Alaska anyone? Her email address is your_travel_agent@email.princess.com and her site is http://jeanny.agenthub.net/contact.php,
