In October, Rose traveled to Cancun for the Ascend Conference with ALG Vacations. Here are the details from her trip!
We arrived in Cancun safe! Our first evening function was at the Dreams Vista Resort. It was a great time and the entertainment was unbelievable.
These are pictures from our first day on the floor. The opening session was with Jackie Marks, and her guest was Carson Kressley. We attended some great sessions! It was nice seeing all of the suppliers, and meeting some new friends! We had the evening to ourselves.
What a beautiful way to start Day 2!

On Day 2, we attended the AMR collection for weddings. It was so fun to look at the various set-ups for the special day!
Later that day we attended the Hilton presentation on the new Hilton Cancun All-inclusive. It is a new build, and it is opening at the end of the month! Here are pictures from the Hilton in Tulum, Curacao, and Resortworld in Las Vegas. Resortword is three hotels in one; Hilton Tower, Conrad Tower, and LXR tower. They will be hosting Katy Perry and an array of others!
We took one last walk around the floor and met some warriors on the way.
I took a chance and picked a lucky duck at the Live Aqua booth. There is a chance to win a stay or an enormous duck. And guess what? I WON a trip. I would like to thank the Academy, Starship Travel, and my friends for pulling for me. 🙂
The Closing Session of ALG Ascend was sponsored by the Dominican Republic. What a great conference- made even better by the cute hats!
Got to meet Carson Kressley. Woohoo!
Huge thank you to Ascend- what a great conference.
The Hard Rock rock party started out with a great Cocktail Reception at Secrets The Vine! We sang and danced our hearts out.
I made a lot of new friends and got to hang out with my other friends. I finally saw my friend who is with the Hilton Hawaiian Village who I haven’t seen in 37 years- didn’t seem that long!
Time to say Goodbye to Cancun and the Ascend Conference. Great seeing all of you. Safe travels!
