         Musicians, especially touring musicians, travel a lot. And I mean a lot, since that is their primary source of income. As a musician myself, I remember what it was like when I had to hustle to book gigs, find the nearest hotel accommodations, and still have the time to call or surf around to haggle for the cheapest plane tickets. On top of that, if my hotel stay was not located close to the gig, I had to pay even more for taxi cabs to drive me to the rehearsals and ultimately to the show.

    I don’t do gigs anymore but I’m certainly involved in the music business and still see the value in what Coastal Vacations offers. There are music events and showcases all year-round, all globe-round. And to get my networking on, I need to get to those venues and see what I can do to expand my business (and maybe even my chops!). There’s the Winter Music Conference in Florida, the Kauai Music Festival in Hawaii, the daily club sessions in Ibiza, Spain, and performance rights-hosted (e.g.’s ASCAP and BMI) showcases all over, just to name a few.

    Going to these events would obviously cost me a grip if I decided to purchase all my travel items and amenities one-by-one. And what I’m able to see with Coastal Vacations is that I don’t see it as a stand-alone product; it’s not just to enable you to travel at affordable costs. Secondly the business opportunity seems ripe for the coming onslaught of this global village, and where traveling from country-to-country will soon be as seamless as driving from your home to your local grocery store. But what’s most important to me is that I get to travel for business within a business. Are you able to follow me?

    I’m able to work on Coastal Vacations for about 3 hours a day, use the complimentary and discounted travel benefits for my music business travels (and for pleasure, of course!), and spend the rest of my time working on non-travel related aspects of my music business. That’s 2 birds which frees up more time for me to work on the third bird with 1 stone! And that is what the value of Coastal Vacations means to me.

    Very much like what musicians earn from the exploitation (this is actually a good term used in the music industry) of their songs or recordings while on the road, the residual income that comes with Coastal Vacations can be heaven sent. Be it on a plane, a boat, or a car, you’re still getting paid while traveling. I must say, my fellow cats and musicians, this business and ours have quite a lot in common.
