View this email in your browser Greetings and Happy March, I hope this message finds you doing well.  February was a chilly month here in Wisconsin, but we managed to stay entertained and have fun. At the beginning of the month we had our own little Super Bowl party, where we all enjoyed pulled-pork nachos.  I think the kids liked eating in front of the television more than anything else. Peter has really taken to playing with magna-tiles, and now loves to build towers (and destroy them) on a daily basis.  Once we could finally get outside after the bitter cold streak snapped, it was time for more ice skating.   The big news of the month is that I was able to go on a travel agent trip (FAM) to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico from February 27 through March 3.  The opportunity came about in early February.  Sandy and I had a long discussion, as we have taken the Covid pandemic extremely seriously, and weren't sure if the timing was right.  After talking it through, we decided that I would sign up to go.  I've wanted to visit Puerto Vallarta for about two years, and who knows when an opportunity like this might happen again.  In addition, I had been told and seen on numerous social media sites that Mexican resorts are doing a phenomenal job in keeping things clean and safe. All my expectations were exceeded.  Not only by the destination itself, but also by the level of cleanliness and safety measures in place.  From the minute I stepped foot into Dane County Regional Airport, everything felt cleaner than I'd ever seen it. For those that aren't aware, Puerto Vallarta sits on the Pacific Coast of Mexico.  Not only are the sunsets spectacular, but also the topography of the entire region.  There are green cliffs all around.  The water is a beautiful shade of emerald.  Puerto Vallarta is known as one of the friendliest cities in the world.  The true charm and hospitality was on display at every resort we visited.  Over the course of five days, our team toured ten resorts and stayed at two.  From the beaches, to the pools, to the dining, and especially the people, there is something special about Puerto Vallarta.  I can't wait to return. As travel picks up into the spring, I'd be happy to help you plan your next vacation.  Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions at all. Have a great weekend, Brian Contact Today
