Day 1: Athens, Greece

HELLO FROM GREECE!!!

After 24 hours of travel, we landed in Athens and headed for our cruise ship. 


We are staying on the 5 star Regency Seven Seas Mariner! It's a beautiful ship!


The drive was about a hour and I had a great time getting to know Top sales director Shanna from the pearl seminar. In her VERY FIRST year as a director Shanna and her unit completed $650,000, and they offsprung 3 new directors!

We knew going on a 5 star cruise would be great but it turned out to be AMAZING! After checking in, our stewardess took us to our room. I’ve been on cruises before so I was blown away by our room! She showed us how to work all of the cool gadgets. There was fresh fruit, a complimentary stocked fridge, CHOCOLATE ON THE PILLOWS (if you know me well, you know how cool this is!! LOL), a beautiful bottle of some wine I can’t pronounce and a Huge plate of chocolate dipped strawberries- a gift from my director Lisa! THANK YOU! :-) 



We have our own balcony and are on the 8th deck. I can’t wait to show you the morning views in upcoming posts!


We quickly showered and changed and after a quick “drill” we headed to the First time trip winners and singles reception! It was so much fun meeting up with the staff (and our favorite - SEAN KEY!!) and meet all of the new trip winners. We also saw Mary Strauss (she lives in Folsom, CA ) and Patti Maxwell (San Jose, CA) 


This year the company also had Top sales directors Kim McClure, Auri Hatheway (that’s Auri and I below)

Kristen Meyer.....and many others there to greet us as well. They were SO welcoming and warm! We had dinner with Shanna and her husband, Rebecca and Stuart Milligan, and Kristen and her husband, Randy. Now, my husband..LOVES LOVE LOVES buffets almost as much as he loves when the 49ers are having a good season ( I know, let’s not go there...haha) so he was super excited to see a HUGE appetizer buffet. WOW.....Greek Olives (Lori..I’m working on getting you some!!), fresh grated local cheeses, hummus. HUGE shrimp, grilled garlic, artichoke hearts......OMG and that was just the appetizers!! We all ordered yummy main courses then headed up to see Kristen Meyer’s Million Dollar director’s penthouse suite. Their corner balcony of their room is the size of our entire room! MK really takes great care of their sales director’s...that’s for sure. We visited with Kristen for awhile- she is super sweet, very down to earth then called it a night!

Complimentary Room Service breakfast is on the menu tomorrow then a quick trip to Delos then the rest of the day in Mykonos.
