After nearly a year of planning, Real Estate CE at Sea was finally here! Our vision to bring two of our businesses together, Olson Travel Group and Dream Real Estate Group, finally came to life, creating unique opportunities for our real estate agents to combine professional development with unforgettable travel experiences.
On October 12th, I set off from Seattle to Alaska for the adventure we’d worked so hard to build. Cameron stayed back because he just sarted helicopter flight school (so proud!), which meant I’d be cruising solo for the first time—a pretty big milestone, especially since I’d organized this event and was teaching four classes onboard. I couldn’t have been more excited (and a little nervous).
Before heading to Seattle, I was in Ohio, so Brea joined me for the trip back to Washington. She’d planned to visit her bestie Brandi for her baby shower, and it was so nice to share the journey over to Seattle together before she headed off to celebrate. She even dropped me off at the cruise terminal and sent a picture to Cameron "Dropping her off at the first day of school" it was epic!
Once the cruise began, the event was a total success! I met some amazing Washington real estate agents, taught my classes, and handled every little twist, including a podium that mysteriously disappeared and reappeared. Although I missed the orcas in Glacier Bay (heartbreaking!), Alaska's scenery was beyond breathtaking.
After the cruise, Ryan came over from Eastern Washington and we wrapped up with two extra days in Seattle, where we hit up a Seattle Kraken game, savored some fantastic Thai food, and finished with a chill day of pizza and football. It was the perfect end to an unforgettable adventure—already counting down to the next one!
