This Bank Holiday weekend saw thousands of recession-affected Brits settle down in front of yet another screening of Bedknobs and Broomsticks, with a token cup of tea and a custard cream. Outwardly, they were grateful for the chance of a relaxing four days off work. Upon seeing the Sunday tabloids packed full of celebrities soaking up the sun on foreign shores during the middle of an economic crisis though, we would imagine that inwardly they were seething. However, scattered throughout the country is a gathering of people who can literally say they cruised through the credit crunch. Not only could they have four days off work at any time they choose, twice a year they have the opportunity to become the elite on one of Kleenezes five-star destinations. This spring, people from all walks of life jumped on a plane and jetted off to one of the most luxurious locations in the world. Thanks to its
turquoise, calm waters and endless blue skies, the Caribbean is the playground of the rich and famous and, for five action-packed nights, it was also home to 146 Kleeneze Distributors. Following a $4 million overhaul, Club Med 2 was even more breathtaking than anyone could have imagined. As the coaches pulled up to this immensely beautiful craft, the hair on the back of your neck stood up its simply an awesome sight to behold. Couple that with watching over 30,000 square feet of sails on five towering masts unfold to Vangelis Conquest of Paradise, setting sail was unashamedly quite an emotional moment. We may have only asked for a tall ship and a star to steer her by, but in true Kleeneze style, we got all that and much, much more. Michael Khatkar had already dubbed it such, but it only took a few minutes for the whole group to concur this was indeed the Ultimate Destination.

Kleeneze really f
It was the first full day of life on the ocean wave and even though many of our Distributors had been up quite late dutifully supping on the complimentary cocktails, all were up early; determined not to miss a minute of the glorious Caribbean sun and the sparkling sea. After tucking into the most sumptuous breakfast buffet weve ever seen while relaxing on the sun-soaked top deck, it really didnt seem as though life could get any more perfect. But then, out of the blue (literally), two dolphins started to swim next to the ship! Those Kleeneze Conference organisers just think of everything! Next theyll be arranging for little birds to get us dressed in the morning
Distributors await the sails going up for the first time, as Club Med 2 leaves Martinique
After watching an hilarious display of aqua aerobics starring, among others, Mike Bibby, Craig White and Bob Webb, Distributors settled into a day of sunbathing, exploring Antigua, souvenir shopping and, of course, more cocktail drinking before picking up their carnival outfits for the evening.
We knew that sailing on this magnificent ship would be an awesome experience after watching the DVD, but it surpassed our wildest dreams.
From seeing it for the first time and walking up all those steps (didnt count them but there were quite a few!) to sailing away and then waking up each morning to a different view. The Caribbean cruise was absolutely fantastic and so were the people. Mixing with all the distributors from the top leaders to the people who were Gold and, of course, the Service Centre girls made the trip even more special. Not only did we have a brilliant time we also made lots of new friends. So we would like to thank you both for enabling us to experience this most wonderful conference and in the words of the DVD; one that will stay with us forever! Jane and John Dunkerley, Silver Executive Distributors
The little touches, such as the Kleeneze banner on this magnificent ship, made this a conference to remember
It goes without saying that the trip was absolutely fantastic and we were so delighted and honoured to have been part of the Club Med 2 conference. We really did not want the trip to end as there was such a buzz about the ship. Everyone felt like long time friends as you got to chat to everyone while walking around on the teak decks or stopping for a drink at the many bars. The staff were amazing and nothing was too much trouble.
WOW, what a fantastic motivational experience going on the Spring Destination on Club Med 2. The positive atmosphere, speaking to the leaders and also making new friends was brilliant. Kleeneze really know how to make you feel special. All this for just putting catalogues out and showing others how to do this. What an amazing opportunity this is. The five-star luxury and the ship was stunning and to have actually achieved this by growing our business was a great incentive. We have relayed the experience to the team and plans are now in place for them to work toward the Autumn Destination in Blackpool and we cannot wait for Cape Town. Thank you Kleeneze and the team for making our first conference an experience we will never forget. Fred and Karen Mason, Senior Distributors
We would just like to say thank you so much for the unbelievable cruise on board Club Med 2. What an awesome ship. Everything was out of this world - the food, the wine, the people and, of course, the islands. To wake up and find yourself on a different island every day, for five days, was truly magical. The sea was so blue, clear and warm it was better than paradise - we could never have dreamed it to be so wonderful. We will remember this forever. Just make sure you never miss out on a conference - it is life changing. Gary Cooper and Jackie Norris, Silver Executive Distributors

For more than 12 months everyone has looked forward to qualifying for the Caribbean Cruise with the icing on the cake being a trip to Foxys Bar, as seen on the Club Med 2 DVD. As it turned out, it proved to be one of the highlights of the trip with dozens of Kleeneze Distributors descending on poor Ed, the barman, at Foxys. He didnt know what hit him! Foxy himself was also there with his extraordinary unique character to offer everyone a very warm welcome, Peter Wellock, Silver Senior Executive Distributor
Jost van Dyke was my favourite place of all. The colours of the ocean were spectacular - one moment ink blue, then turquoise blue and then sea green. The beaches were like sand dust. So smooth, so soft, so sinking! The excursion to Foxys was one well never forget, not to mention the road trip to get there. One thing I didnt expect was to be swept off my feet by my sponsor, Craig White, and then him running like the clappers into the ocean with me screaming! He knew I wasnt a good swimmer so he slowed down, eventually! Wow, that was awesome. I think a couple of Painkillers at Foxys helped with that experience! Linda and Tony Gower, Silver Executive Distributors
The Painkiller
Want to be as pain free as these ladies?! EWB has scoured the Internet looking for the Soggy Dollar Bars famous Painkiller recipe and here it is (please bear in mind, this recipe serves TEN people. Can we suggest a sizzle rather than a sozzle?!): Ingredients 46 fluid ounces canned orange juice 46 fluid ounces canned pineapple juice 16 fluid ounces Coco Lopez 2 cups cruzan rum Freshly grated nutmeg Directions Shake or stir ingredients, and pour over ice in a tall glass. Sprinkle nutmeg on top, and serve.
Sandra Brown, Cindy Brown, Louise Wellock, and Myrna Wellock relax after several Painkiller cocktails!
It was an amazing day, which culminated in some amazing entertainment in the evening. Yes, we all knew that our Distributors definitely had the likeability factor, but we were entirely unaware that youre also pretty nifty with keyboards, spoons and vocals. More famous for his variety of ties than wearing high-waisted trousers, our very own Michael Khatkar still did a darn good job of a Simon Cowell-esque judgement on our contestants. Joined by Club Med 2s Tony and Chantal, the panel had a grand total of $275 to give away with $150 for first prize, $75 for second and $50 for third.
Well be expecting more than just soup eating from the Premier Spoon Group at the next Gala Dinner.
Ah, well at least the Pegasus Choir had the likeability factor.

We were first-time Spring Destination qualifiers and we couldnt have picked a better place to go. From the moment we got to the destination we were treated like royalty. The staff on board were fantastic - nothing was too much trouble and everything they did just made the experience better and better for us. Kleeneze and Gullivers made it possible for me to surprise Steve with renewing our vows on Virgin Gorda in a beautiful church. We were lucky enough to have Peter White as best man. Then we had a champagne reception on the beach afterwards. What made the whole trip special was the people we shared the whole experience with and getting a chance to sizzle with other distributors in the sun. Denise and Steve Neal, Bronze Executive Distributors
Once I heard that there was going to be a pirate party, I decided for the first time ever that Id grow a beard for the occasion. I then thought Id do a sponsored shave to raise money for a childrens ward where one of our team members 3 year-old-daughter had spent 4 months up to Christmas 2008 being treated for a brain tumour.
Steady, Peter
The shave actually took place at the rear of the boat on the last day with a hungover Peter White proffering a very shaky hand! Gary Cooper, Silver Executive Distributor Donations can be made direct to Ward C2 Charities Fund, Box 5, Addenbrookes Hospital, Hills Road, Cambridge, CB2 2QQ
This has been a trip of a lifetime, but as Jackie White said at the conference: dont let this experience become a distant memory. Let this experience of a lifetime turn into a lifetime of experiences. Amazing words and something we intend to do. It has been a trip of a lifetime and they are on offer to all distributors. See you all in Cape Town. Richard Radbourne and Yvonne Kirk, Gold Distributors
From the moment we were at the quayside, we were blown away with the enormity of the boat itself it was breathtaking. We all had an absolute ball on board, packed full of entertainment every night. The beaches that we visited were out of this world some of the best beaches in the world turquoise sea and soft white sand. It truly was the Ultimate Destination. Were now focused on bringing some of our team to Cape Town with us next year having both of us lived there; we know how wonderful a destination Cape Town 2010 will be. Stuart and Robyn Heard, Bronze Executive Distributors
We have just returned from the holiday of a lifetime and we are still floating (please pardon the pun!). Thank you so much Kleeneze for the most amazing experience we have ever had! Who would have thought that when we joined this business a little over 3 years ago, just to earn and extra 50 a week that we would wind up on board Club Med 2, in a deluxe cabin, sailing around the beautiful Caribbean! Its a bit mind blowing! Tales of our adventures on the high seas will go on for many years to come, Im sure! And we have the pictures to prove it!! Dont think we have ever eaten so much, laughed so much and chilled out so much in our entire lives! Visited beautiful places we probably never would have seen and made many wonderful friends along the way! Thank you so much to all the awesome leaders that we met on board who where always more than willing to impart their advice and share the wisdom of their experience with us. We have come back so motivated and fired up and cant wait share our experience with anybody who will listen!! We are back in action and are now focusing on Blackpool and Cape Town, and helping our team to get there too.
We often say that you should live your life not by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away and Club Med 2 was packed full of such moments. When we arrived alongside the ship, we could not believe the sheer size of it tied up alongside the jetty in Martinique. Words cannot even begin to describe the magnificence of it we dont think there was a dry eye anywhere. Our suite was so sumptuous with a white leather settee, two bathrooms and welcome champagne from the captain weve never experienced anything like it! Truly, everyone should aspire to qualify for one of these world class destinations. Its not just about the location, or the food and drink, or the entertainment. Its about sharing quality time with like-minded people; all who are pursuing their dreams with this amazing, life-changing company. This may have been the ultimate destination but also the ultimate beginning of a fantastic future for all those who are prepared to work for it.
E ULTIMATE DESTINATION
There were too many amazing moments to talk about - it would take days to tell! We were treated like royalty - whenever we nearly had an empty glass it was filled. Nothing was too much trouble, anything we wanted we had, all the staff were mega! We now understand what people say - you cant explain how fantastic these conferences are, you have to experience them for real, we could never find the right words to explain how magical it was. Our tip to anyone who has never experienced one of the conferences is go for it and do what ever it takes to be there and then you too will understand for yourself how amazing they are! Darren and Gail Drew, Senior Distributors
I just wanted to say what a fantastic time we had on Club Med 2. The yacht was magnificent, the food superb, the service excellent and the conference both informative and heart-warming. We spent our days on paradise beaches and our nights partying on board. It is impossible to convey how special these conferences are so we recommend that everyone sets their sights on Cape Town. Make a plan and stick to it.
We had the most fantastic time aboard the Club Med 2. To spend time together in such a beautiful place in the world was amazing, and to be there with friends in the business, on such an awesome sailing yacht, was fabulous! Its true that you reap what you sow. We were only reaping such a reward because wed been persistent and consistent with sowing both our retail and sponsoring during the year. And the great news about that is that ANYONE can do the same this year to qualify for Cape Town next March.We had a wonderful time, with memories that will last a lifetime. Doug and Sandra Roper, Bronze Executive Distributors
The ship was awesome, the crew made us feel like royalty. The islands were so beautiful and the company and friendships that we made with other fantastic Kleeneze distributors are unforgettable. The memory of Club Med 2 will stay forever with us.
