Exhibit 10.4.5

                              CONSULTING AGREEMENT


THIS CONSULTING AGREEMENT is entered into on January 4, 2000, by and between
PAUL R. JOHNSON ("Johnson") and ROY MEADOWS ("Consultant").

Johnson is in the process of creating a new business consisting of certain
travel services (the "Company") and is in need of business and financial
consulting services. Consultant has represented to Johnson that he has expertise
and experience in these areas.

Therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and conditions set
forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1.       Consulting Services. During the term of this Agreement, Consultant will
provide Johnson with consulting services consisting of: (a) evaluating the
Company=s capital requirements for funding growth and expansion of the Company=s
operations; (b) advising Johnson as to alternative modes and sources of
financing: (c) analyzing the impact of the business decisions, policies, and
practices on the value of the Company=s securities; and (d) bringing to the
attention of Johnson possible business opportunities as originated by the
Consultant or others. Such services will be available to Johnson upon request
made to the Consultant by Johnson. Consultant shall not be requested to provide,
and shall not provide, any services in connection with the offer or sale of
securities in a capital-raising transaction, and shall not directly or
indirectly promote or maintain a market for the Company=s securities. The
Consultant agrees to devote such time, attention and energy as may be necessary
to respond to proper requests by Johnson for services hereunder. However,
Consultant shall not be required to perform any minimum number of hours of
services under this Agreement. Furthermore, Johnson recognizes and agrees that
Consultant is engaged in several business activities independent of the services
described herein and that, as a result of such other activities, the services
requested hereunder may be provided on an "as available" basis.

2.       Consulting Fee.  In consideration of the services to be rendered by the
Consultant, Johnson shall pay to Consultant $50,000.00.

3.       Term.  The initial term of this Agreement shall be six months from the
date hereof. The term of this Agreement may be extended for additional periods
by mutual consent of the parties.

4.       Certain Restrictive Covenants.

         (a) Consultant recognizes and acknowledges that confidential
information may exist, from time to time, with respect to the business of the
Company. Accordingly, Consultant agrees that he will not disclose any
confidential information relating to the business of the Company to any
individual or entity during the term of this Agreement or thereafter except on a
confidential basis and in connection with the fulfillment of his duties
hereunder. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to information which
is or shall become generally known to the public or the trade (except by reason
of Consultant's breach of its obligations hereunder), information which is or
shall become available in trade or other publications (except by reason of
Consultant's breach of its obligations hereunder), and information which
Consultant is required to disclose by order of a court of competent jurisdiction
(but only to the extent specifically ordered by such court and, when

reasonably possible, if the Consultant shall give Johnson prior notice of such
intended disclosure so that it has the opportunity to seek a protective order if
it deems appropriate).

         (b) As used in this Agreement, "confidential information" shall mean
studies, plans, reports, surveys, analyses, notes, records, unpublished
memoranda or documents, and all other nonpublic information relating to the
Company's business activities, including, without limitation, all methods,
processes, techniques, equipment, research data, marketing and sales
information, personnel data, customer lists, employee lists, financial data,
plans and all other techniques, know- how and trade secrets which presently or
in the future are in the possession of the Company.

         (c) All memoranda, notes, records, reports, plans, papers or other
documents made or compiled by or made available to Consultant in the course of
its duties hereunder are and shall be the sole and exclusive property of Johnson
and shall be promptly delivered and returned to Johnson by Consultant
immediately upon termination of this Agreement.

5.       Injunction. The Consultant acknowledges that the services to be
rendered by it are of a special, unique and extraordinary character, and, in
connection with such services, it will have access to confidential information
vital to the Company's business. Accordingly, the Consultant consents and agrees
that if it violates any of the provisions of paragraph 4 hereof, the Company
would sustain irreparable harm and, therefore, in addition to any other remedies
which may be available to it, the Company shall be entitled to apply to any
court of competent jurisdiction for an injunction restraining Consultant from
committing or continuing any such violation of this Agreement. Nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other
remedy or remedies including, without limitation, recovery of damages.

6.       Independent Contractor. Neither party is hereby constituted an
employee, agent or legal representative of the other party, except as expressly
set forth in this Agreement, and neither is granted any right or authority
hereunder to assume or create any obligation, expressed or implied, or to make
any representation, covenant, warranty or guaranty, except as expressly granted
or made in this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
construed as to constitute Consultant or any of its officers, directors or
employees as employees, agents or legal representatives of Johnson, it being
intended that the Consultant is an independent contractor of Johnson.

7.       Arbitration. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to
this Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by binding arbitration
in Broward County, Florida, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules
of the American Arbitration Association, and judgment upon the award rendered by
the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The
arbitration shall be conducted before and by a single arbitrator selected by the
parties. If the parties have not selected an arbitrator within ten (10) days of
written demand for arbitration, the arbitrator shall be selected by the American
Arbitration Association pursuant to the then current rules of that Association.
The expenses of arbitration shall be divided equally between the parties. The
duty to arbitrate shall survive the cancellation or termination of this
Agreement.

8.       Miscellaneous Provisions.

         (a) This Agreement will be governed by and construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.

the non-performing party shall be liable for all claims, liabilities, losses,
damages, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees (through all arbitration proceedings, trial proceedings or
appellate proceedings) that are incurred by any other party hereto in connection
