Perfect in Prague - Day 1 of the Stampin' Up! Incentive Trip

Oh My! Prague was A-MAZE-ZING! Looking back on the trip I am still can’t really believe it. The city is beautiful and we were so well looked after, every little detail was just perfect. I am not sure I have the words to explain how fantastic the whole experience was but you know me and I am going to try! I should warn you there are a lot of photos too ...

The trip for me actually started the day before as we decided to spend the night at Heathrow since I had to be at the airport very early! I met the others who were on my flight at Starbucks and the rest of the journey passed in a blur of excited chatter. My travel companions, Michelle, Amanda, Natalie and our country manager Paula had all been on the last incentive trip to Monaco and entertained me with stories about it, building both my nerves and expectations further.

I should not have worried however, as soon as we checked in we went to the Hospitality Suite and were greeted with an amazing hug by Shelli. I already felt like the luckiest girl in the world. We were also joined by Pam Morgan who is just the most amazing lady and who I was so excited to get to know. We all sat and chatted for a while before we headed out to explore a little.

Our hotel was in a beautiful area and really close to the Charles Bridge, we wandered across trying to take everything in and then decided to stop for a drink, in a street cafe. London and the rain felt a life time away.

Now those of you who looked the photos everyone took last year commented that everyone took pictures of the food – this year it seems to be our bathrooms – huge, luxurious and just stunning.

A short while later it was time for our welcome dinner – here are all the UK girls. It was great to see Monica (my upline) and Julie (my friend and Stampin’ Up! Sister) who had a difficult journey.

Dinner was amazing and even after hanging out with the girls for a while after I did not want the night to end – but when we got back to our rooms there was an extra treat ...
