When you think about your past travel experiences, it’s easy to reflect on them abstractly and sum up each with a generic statement like, “Wow, our Antigua trip was amazing” or “We had so much fun on our Norwegian cruise.” But really, what makes travel incredible are the little moments of absolute joy that add up to amazing memories.
When you take a moment to remember your last vacation, think about and be grateful for the small things that made it so special.
Express gratitude for the greatness of small things.
-Richie Norton
Waking up early to sunlight and blue skies rather than the angry sound of the alarm clock.
Sipping your coffee while it’s still hot, no microwave reheating necessary
Discovering a delightful, secluded café frequented by locals and listening to happy chatter while you dine
The feeling of sand between your toes combined with the sound of waves gently lapping the shore
The sound of children squealing upon seeing a beloved character and excitedly waiting their turn for a hug and autograph
Enjoying a second glass of wine alongside an extra dessert after the best dinner you’ve had in months (and no clean-up required!)
Sinking your teeth into a pastry and savoring that first amazing bite of flaky, sugary goodness!
That first glimpse of the perfect breathtaking view, whatever it is – the vastness of the Grand Canyon, the Caribbean Sea and surrounding islands from the top of Paradise Point in St. Thomas, or the overlook at Bom Jesus do Monte in Braga, Portugal
Flights that go smoothly, sans delays or luggage handling issues, and a fantastic movie with snacks to pass the time
Spotting a favorite animal in its natural habitat and being wowed by the awesomeness of nature
I am so grateful for the relationships I have with my clients and the trust you have in me to help you experience the world in so many wonderful ways. Let’s keep adding to your amazing vacation moments list by planning your next vacation, together.
