Seattle and Bondurant!

I know it has been awhile since I have posted anything. I apologize! I went to Seattle over the weekend and it was amazing! It is such a beautiful city! It was sunny all weekend and you could see a picture perfect view of Mount Rainier. The city is so old and historic, and there is so much to do! I know downtown Phoenix is well on it's way to becoming a built up, beautiful city. I came back on Monday and had to work an event on Tuesday. The event was at Bondurant Racing School right near Sheraton Wild Horse Pass. We were hosting the event for the top truck sellers at Daimler-Chrysler around the United States. The clients were extremely nice and so easy to work with! We had numerous activities for the people. They were able to drive a Corvette or Ferari. They could drive speed boats or just ride along on one. They could go to the casino. I was in charge of giving a breath-a-lyzer test to everyone who wanted to drive the speed boats. Luckily, everyone passed. After all the activities were done, a live band from Canada performed while the guests enjoyed a buffet dinner. The band was called Roadhammers, and apparently they are huge in Canada! We were able to enjoy the wonderful food even though we were part of the staff. We also could listen to the music and dance to it as well! It was such a great experience! I worked this event as part of my internship. If you become a tourism major, you can work wonderful events such as this! Tourism is not limited to event planning. You can work for a hotel, CVB, wedding planners, etc. If you decide you don't want to do your internship in Arizona, you can go anywhere in the United States. There are some instances where you can get an internship in a different country too! This major allows so many opportunities and opens so many different doors! I encourage you to take advantage of it!
