Helicopter Ride to the beach

Vacation in Fort Lauderdale

We have been doing all the tourist stuff while in Fort Lauderdale and by far the best so far was last night when we took the Jungle Queen River boat and BBQ tour.

It took us on a hour long boat ride thought the river channels of Fort Lauderdale checking out some amazing houses, with there million dollar + yachts docked on their back lawns (amazing amount of money).

We ended up on the jungle island where we got to eat all you can ribs, bbq chicken, shrimp and of course lots of baked beans. After dinner we got treated to a show, and yes check out the picture, Julie was picked from the crowd to participate in the show LOL. We both recommend this tour and thank our new buddy Alfonso the juggler who got us tickets for this fun night. www.junglequeen.com.

Today we went to South Beach in Miami via a boat ride from Fort Lauderdale thru Florida's
amazing intercoastal water ways. This trip took 2 1/2 hours and was well worth it as traffic in Miami is crazy , not to mention finding a parking spot that would not break the bank.

While is south Beach we visited Miami Ink one of my daughters favorite TV shows and of course spent some time on the beach taking in the sun and the sights. By far the best beach was in Clearwater maybe because spring break had started ;) Really this is a great beach if you get the chance stop by and get a tan.

Our trip to Florida is coming to a end and we are now moving on and making our way to California via Huston TX and checking out Country Thunder a festival in Florence, AZ. This makes Julie happy as her favorite band is playing the ZAC BROWN BAND.

Leaving the Gulf coast

We have spent a week exploring the golf side of Florida and our next stop will be Fort Lauderdale on the Atlantic side. During this week we did lots of things from going to the dog beach with Max and Jazz and taking in the sites. The dogs loved the ocean and Max would not get out of the water.

We also took a airboat tour in the everglades as you can see from the picture we had lots of fun :) we saw lots of alligators along the road and Julie did not want me to stop the car, not sure why.

We got to see Ty Pennington say "move that bus" as he opened a new casino in Immokalee FL. We waited for a hour in the hot sun, was it worth it? Lets say I would not do it again. Both julie and I are looking forward to moving our own bus as we have been here now for a month now.

My next blog will include lots of great pictures of Florida

Collier County Fair - Naples

My first fair for 2009 has come to a end and I now start a 5 week vacation. I will first explore Fort Lauderdale Fl and then several other places in the sunshine state.

As for the fair both Julie and I had a great time and we have been invited back for 2010. I had some great people on my stage and would like to thank all that attended my shows. As for Ruben the crazy Mexican sound man "Good Job" it's always nice to work with someone who knows what to do when it comes to sound.

Ron's son what can I say! Watch the video, you was hypnotized and I know you will be in denial for the rest of your life but just enjoy the moment and check out those books I told you about :) It's time to pack up the bus and start my vacation.

Help Stop Drinking and Driving Free MP3 Download

Is it safe to operate a vehicle with any amount of alcohol in your system even if below the legal limits? No matter how small the amount of alcohol consumed, research has shown there are effects on the body. Don’t worry. I am not going to preach against drinking. Whether someone of legal age drinks or not is none of my business. I am going to talk about drinking and driving though because that might effect me or my family, friends and our community. And it is not just driving cars and motorcycles but also boats, jet skies, bicycles, anything that moves while you are driving under the influence of alcohol.

BECAUSE YOU CANNOT OPERATE EQUIPMENT SAFELY WHEN DRINKING, REGARDLESS OF HOW IT SEEMS AT THE TIME

But still, you might ask, what is wrong with a couple of drinks for the road? The answers may surprise you.

BECAUSE DRINKING AND DRIVING IS AGAINST THE LAW AND IT KILLS

Therefor I have created a FREE MP3 Download from my website, so if you know anyone that this CD may help please give them my link www.terranceb.ca and maybe we can save a life.

In Florida

This will be by far my busiest year to date, with 14 fairs to do it will keep us hopping all over the US and Canada. We have taken on 9 new fairs which of course will take us to 9 new places on our travels.

Right now we are parked with the tour bus in Naples Florida getting ready to start a 10 day fair, it's 6 days away so this gives us some time to explore. Yesterday we went to the beach and took in the sunset (amazing)

That's me with my feet in the sand. We will now follow the sun right till mid November and this makes Julie very happy.

This year we are going to introduce Jazz to the world of being a entertainer. She is only 3 years old but I think she can come out on stage and hypnotize. Max is 4 and he's already getting tired :) both dogs are amazing and both love life on the road.

Till next time have fun and be happy....

2009 Whats in store for the show?

My 2009 calendar is now posted and it will be updated as the year goes on. I will keep this blog going for the new year and keep you updated on my 2009 tour.

I spent Christmas with my family in Calgary and boy was it cold (-40) was one of the coldest days, it barely got above freezing. That been said, I am now in Northern California spending time with Julies family for the next week, then onto Sacramento to catch a plane to South Carolina for a trade show.

How stupid is this! I fly back too Sacramento only to start driving across the country to go back to Ladson SC to pick up the tour bus and then head to Naples Florida only to catch another plane back to Calgary for the first off 4 Think and Be Thin seminars. That's life on the road but I love it all the same.

Hoping your new year is as exciting as mine. Terrance
