AMAZING Life Experience Consultants | The What’s Next Tour
Dreaming, Our Dreams //
To say our January is going to be crazy is probably a little bit of an understatement. The wildest-most-fun-little-bit-chaotic-time-of-our-lives is probably a better description. We mentioned on Monday that we would be heading out on the road with Justin and Mary for their What’s Next Tour. When we try to explain this to our family and friends, we often get asked tons of follow up questions. So today, we wanted to share a little bit more about some of the preparation and planning we have been doing to get ready for our crazy adventure on a bus.
The thing we have probably been asked the most is where will you be staying and getting around during the trip?
We will, in fact, actually be staying on a bus for the entire trip! Crazy! Ok, it won’t be that bad, we do have a pretty sweet ride thanks to the amazing team over at Showit. It’s equipped with an espresso machine and two Apples TVs just to name a few of the awesome amenities. ;) See more about the bus at Showit’s website:
After we finish explaining to everyone that we will be living on a bus for three weeks, the next thing everyone usually asks is what will you be doing? When Justin and Mary asked us to be part of their crew we pretty much said yes without even asking what they would need us to do. (Honestly, we were ready to learn how to drive the bus! ;) lol!) Maybe it was because we just both finished reading Love Does. One of our favorite lines in the book is:
“You know what it is about someone that makes them a friend? A friend doesn’t just say things; a friend does.”
So we decided to DO. We said yes and knew we would figure out the rest later. Since then we have given ourselves the title “Experience Consultants” and have pretty much been working non stop coming up with ideas on how we can make the tour as AMAZING as possible for Justin & Mary and everyone attending. We feel so blessed to have friends like Justin & Mary that trust our vision. We can’t give away all the secrets but let me just say that the tour is going to be AMAZING and that if you have a chance to attend you definitely don’t want to miss it! Below are a few sketches of some of the ideas we came up with for the tour that we created with the Paper App. Forgive my poor drawing skills, at the time I wasn’t planning to share my sketches with the world, otherwise, I would have at least given the barista in the one sketch some hair! :)
One of our favorite parts has been creating a “What’s Next Café” that will serve drinks as people arrive. Now, if we could just figure out how to get this giant sign we are making in our luggage …
In addition to coming up with ideas on how to make the tour super AMAZING for everyone attending, we have also been hard at work coming up with ideas on how we can make life on a bus super AMAZING. One of our ideas might just include gold stars. Yes gold stars! You know, the ones you used to get in 3rd grade when you scored a 100% on your spelling tests. We will be sharing more of these ideas throughout the tour, so be sure to subscribe to our weekly newsletter at the top of the page to stay up to date!
Finally, the last question we get asked is where will be going?
We will be traveling to 10 cities with Justin and Mary for their tour. The cities are Los Angeles, Phoenix, Dallas, Orlando, Charlotte, Washington, D.C., New York City, Indianapolis, Nashville, and Kansas City! If you have any suggestions on fun cafes and places to eat in any of these cities we would LOVE to hear from you!!!
We will also be stopping at a few other places along the way. We are hoping to have some spontaneous twitter meet-ups during our “off” days too! Be sure to follow everyone on twitter so you don’t miss a chance to hang out with us. Below are links to everyone’s twitter pages so you don’t have any excuse not to.
