Dear DreamTrip Members, Welcome to the first issue of The DreamTripper Newsletter! We want this newsletter to be a unique vehicle that helps keep you connected to our team here at the WorldVentures Corporate Office. We also want to keep you informed of DreamTrip specials, promotions, great rates and special excursions to new and exciting destinations. Know that we continually strive to provide you with impeccable service and travel opportunities--that is our goal and commitment to you. And so far we have been fulfilling that commitment since WorldVentures began in 2005. In 2006 we offered 14 DreamTrips, and in 2007 we increased that number to 37. Last year we more than doubled our total with 90 DreamTrips! And this year we have set a goal of over 200+ DreamTrips--and we have every intention of meeting that goal! And in this new year we want to encourage all of you to take as many DreamTrips as you can, as this truly is the glue that holds all of us together. We are memory makers here in the Travel Department, and we want you to make memories that are precious; happy snapshots of time well-spent with loved ones. In this newsletter, as we share with you special photo and testimonial moments captured on various trips, we encourage you to share your own DreamTrip memories and experiences with other

members of the DreamTripper family. If you'd like to share your DreamTrip story and/or photo, please contact Karen Jackson by email: k.jackson@worldventures.com. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all of your support in these last three years, and we are looking forward to seeing each and every one of you on at least one DreamTrip this year! Sincerely, Grant Merz Director of DreamTrips

A peek at what you're missingâ&#x20AC;Ś Have you taken a Mini DreamTrip yet? Well, if you haven't, here's just a brief glimpse of what you will experience when you get the chance. Recently, many of the WorldVentures DreamTrippers took a Mini DreamTrip to Memphis, Tennessee where they stayed at one of the oldest, most charming and historic hotels, The Peabody, where they enjoyed the luxurious southern elegance of the hotel as they watched the famous daily Peabody Duck March. The group also took an entertaining and exciting tour of Elvis Presley's Graceland home, replete with a tambourine-playing Elvis impersonator, who hosted them as they rode a1968 vintage bus to tour the second most popular home in the U.S. - with only the White House being first. And of course, no trip to the heart of Memphis is complete without enjoying lots of great music! The group then visited Sun Records, where Elvis recorded his first song, and paid tribute to blues legend B.B. King, by visiting the B.B. King's Blues Club, where everyone enjoyed King's favorite recipes, soulful blues music and dancing into the night. So if you can't get away for a week, then getaway for just a weekend to relax, unwind, and create new memories and adventures with the WorldVentures Mini DreamTrips.

Our DreamTrips are so exciting, we haven't been able to harness the positive buzz! We began asking recent DreamTrippers for their personal DreamTrip testimony, favorite experiences, and how ultimate relaxation has affected their lives.

"My husband and I went on our first DreamTrip with my aunt and brother to Baja! This was our first cruise and our first vacation together. Between the stress of our daily lives, and my brother's chemotherapy treatment, we all really need to get away and this was the perfect weekend trip! What was even better was that we were able to meet Mike Conway and understand the great vision he has for the future of the company. It was a weekend filled with great memories for us and we are already planning our next trip! Thanks WV for making more great vacations possible for us!" - Christy and Michael Reed

Baja, Mexico Mike Conway Leadership DreamTrip August 22th, 2008 - August 25th, 2008

"Anything that enjoyable and that helps slow down a workaholic and her not-known-for-great-patience husband is to be commended and the Niagara Falls DreamTrip was it! Personally, seeing the beauty of the Lord's creation was fantastic! The falls were breathtaking and mesmerizing to watch. We saw our first-ever TRIPLE rainbow in the falls' mist! The peace of watching the water was shattered by our exhilarating Whirlpool Jet Boat 18-mile excursion through the level five rapids on the Niagara River, WOW, what a ride! The boat had an engine as powerful as 33 semi-trucks and could turn on a dime. We ended up soaked to the bone and laughing like kids it was so much fun!" - Rick and Twila Willard Niagara Falls Mini DreamTrip August 20th, 2008 - August 24th, 2008

"We had a wonderful time in Ireland, and all the flight arrangements worked out just as you said. Liz Jefferson and her husband were right there waiting for us, and they were absolutely delightful! The trip was an excellent value for the money especially in these financial times."

"My family and I went on our first DreamTrip to Jamaica in early November 2008. The resort was beautiful, the food was delicious and the drinks were fabulous. The time spent together as a family was priceless! Thank you WorldVentures for making our vacation a wonderful experience! We can't wait to take another DreamTrip!" - Shelly Cedarblade

- Kelly Sweeney

"I would like to express my appreciation to the WorldVentures team and their hard work behind the scenes that made the recent China trip possible. This was a flawless performance from everyone involved. My husband and I had the privilege of experiencing this wonderful destination with a fantastic group of people. I'd like to give special thanks to our hosts Mark Wood and Dan Chacho. Their fun personality, professionalism and attention to detail added a special touch that made everyone feel equally important and safe far away from home. It's not easy to accommodate individual requests while keeping the interest of the group in mind, but they've done a fantastic job. People tend to keep and cherish only the good memories in their lives and I must say that we'll remember and cherish every minute of this trip. This was an experience of a lifetime!" - Csaba Varsanyi

In the DreamTrips Department, we get a number of questions regarding DreamTrips, the website, or WorldVentures in general. For your convenience, we have answered some of your Frequently Asked Questions below. Q: What is the Professional Etiquette Agreement, and who is required to sign it? A: The Professional Etiquette Agreement that is both emailed and mailed to you prior to your DreamTrip outlines proper conduct of DreamTrippers during DreamTrips. The agreements states "I agree and promise that while on any DreamTrip, I will not disclose the price I or any other member paid for this vacation to any other person visiting and/or vacationing at this destination. I further agree that I will not attempt to solicit or recruit any member or employee of this DreamTrip's resort, hotel or cruise ship to be a WorldVentures Representative or customer. Additionally, I will not attempt to solicit or recruit any DreamTrips Member, whether an existing Representative or not, into my organization." Q: Where can I see the Group Photo that was taken during my DreamTrip? A: All of our hosts have a link or mode of transferring their photos by email to you. In the future, WorldVentures hopes to have a dedicated site or link for DreamTrippers to view and order their Group Photos. Q: Once I book a DreamTrip, who do I contact for questions or information? A: An automated notice will appear immediately upon completing the booking with a name and email of the agent assigned to the DreamTrip. Q: What if I need to cancel my DreamTrip? A: The DreamTrip Cancellation Policy will be listed under the DreamTrip banner. Although this policy may vary according to the trip, if done by the specified date, you may not incur any charges for canceling your DreamTrip. We highly recommend that you purchase Travel Insurance. Q: Why don't my guests receive travel documents, DreamTrip folders, or other publications (by email or mail)? A: Publications and travel documents are mailed out according to the email or home addresses that were listed upon booking your DreamTrip. Your Travel Documents are typically produced (through a third-party vendor) as one document, serving both the member and the guest. It is suggested that arrangements be made in advance if you or your guest live far away from each other and will need separate documents or publications.

Passports are mandatory for travel outside the 50 contiguous United States and must not have an expiration date of less than three months at the time of travel. Apply or renew yours today! Please take care in providing the full name that is listed on your passport during the DreamTrip booking process. Please have your passport handy when booking to prevent these types of mistakes. If a mistake is made by the person booking a DreamTrip in the booking process (and not human error), you may be charged a fee to change the name on your travel documents (usually $50). If this fee is incurred by a mistake in the booking process, (and not by human error) you will be responsible for paying the name-changing fee. Please remember that DreamTrips cannot be purchased as a gift for non-members. As much as we would like to offer our great prices to everyone, in order to preserve our great product, we are strictly a membership-based travel company.

Here are some of our favorite quotes about travel and life, with just a touch of humor added, of course. ● "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness." - Mark Twain ● "The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page." - St. Augustine ● "Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life." - Jack Kerouac ● "A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it." - John Steinbeck ● "One's destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things." - Henry Miller ● "Tourists don't know where they've been, travelers don't know where they're going." - Paul Theroux ● "Not all those who wander are lost." - J. R. R. Tolkien ● "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing." -- Helen Keller
