ESSENCE OF LUXURY TRAVEL

There are multiple reasons why people travel. Whether it be a business trip, visiting a friend, reuniting with family, or just a vacation, traveling is something we all do. But, what is often overlooked, is luxury travel. Usually people hear luxury, they think in dollar signs. But the honest essence of luxury travel can’t just be purchased. At the core of luxury travel is a number of feelings that many of us rarely come into contact with. And those feelings of comfort, exclusivity, and intimacy are truly the essence of luxury travel.

PACKING TIPS

I have been working on a wonderful trip for a client who is going to be traveling for 62 days in Europe. This trip is amazing and I cannot wait to follow along with her on her journeys.

TESTED POSITIVE

Well – the dreaded result. It has finally happened that I now know what it means to test positive in destination and not being able to return home. I went to Europe on an almost 3-week adventure to Italy, then the United Kingdom, both on work and pleasure! I tested before leaving the United States for Italy.

My family came, we had a lovely “personal” vacation before starting my next “work” trip in London. The family went home and then I got a cold. Of course, I then tested and lo and behold more than 2 years into this “COVID” situation and …. Tested positive – now what?

When we are traveling, there is always one person who is always behind the camera. They are hardly ever in the photos, but the one taking them.
