Tahiti – Club Med (never again!)
OK, I’ll admit… after my successful trip to Mexico, I struggled to try to figure out my next trip. Between 1997 and 1998, I switched jobs, so I was now working as a consultant, which meant I traveled a lot for work. I started to earn hotel points and airline miles but not enough to really pay for a trip. I don’t even remember how I thought of it but I started thinking about Club Med and the fact that those are all-inclusive vacations.

Mexico – Kayaking in Baja California
Do you remember the first time you realized that the job you had would pay you to go on vacation? For me, it was 1997. I worked at a local university, and it was my first “real” job. Around June of that year, I looked at my first paystub and saw my vacation balance for the first time. How amazing is that? This employer will pay me not to work! I began planning my first vacation as an adult.
