Luxury Travel is not a Luxury unless it's Personal.
Because Luxury is Personal.
What is your Luxury?
Bora Bora Tahitian TV
You'll find stress relief on every channel of Tahitian TV - the show below your over water bungalow.
Live 24/7, but especially soothing at night as the tide gently laps the dock pilings in a rhythmic Tahitian lullaby.
Paradise on Earth.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of National Travel and Tourism Week.
15 MILLION: That’s the number of American jobs—from hospitality to manufacturing—supported by travel across countless Amrican industries.
When travel succeeds, America succeeds.
#TravelForward. #nttw23
Happy National Travel and Tourism Week!
America's travel & tourism industry is at the heart of the American economy. Travel & tourism is essential to the vibrancy and success of our nation. When America's travel industry thrives, the world's economies grow, millions of lives are sustained.

And bring the world along for the journey.

Now I know why....
Last week I traveled aboard Rocky Mountaineer Railroad's Silver Service from Moab, Utah to Denver, Colorado for the first time.
I learned something new about dogs when I stepped out onto the platform between cars for the first time and felt the rush of wind in my face as we rolled out of Utah on May 19.
By the way, the temperature that day in Moab was in the low 90's F.

Israel opened its borders to ALL travelers from the United States this month, including those who are UNvaccinated against Covid 19. We suspected this would happen early this year, based on empirical data in Israel and around the world, and celebrate the Israeli leadership bringing the world back to the Holy Land in 2022.
There are rules and testing of course; pre-trip, when you land, a 24-hour quarantine until you receive your negative test results. And in today's meeting we learned Israel has made travel insurance with specific Covid 19 coverage mandatory. No problem. We can take care of that and highly recommend such coverage for ALL travel in the foreseeable future.
If you can go this year in 2022, you will avoid massive crowds flocking back in 2023 after rescheduling booked tours for 2020, 2021. Let me know if you have a group interested, small or large.

The world is reopening for travel. Slowly, yes.
Travel in a post-Covid lock-down world requires more flexibility, more patience. But we are finding our way.
One way to explore our world is thru the lens of faith.
As an ETS Faith Based Travel consultant I help individuals and groups walk in the ancient lands of the Christian heritage, in the footsteps of apostles and saints; where Bible stories took place, where Christ was born, lived, taught, and made the ultimate sacrifice for humanity.
Regardless of where you find yourself in your personal faith journey, you may be seeking to explore the Holy Land and beyond. If you are interested in a faith based travel experience in 2021 cosider one of ETS specially priced tours. These tours were created specifically for 2021 for those not traveling with their own group.
Take a quick look at what may still be available this Fall.
Today is National Photography Day, which reminds me how a picture often tells a story better than a thousand words.
Photography tells the stories I see with my heart when traveling, even locally. I recently met Bottom Gun on Mount Soledad National Veterans Memorial where I had the pleasure of hearing (and filming) some fascinating stories of a life well-lived and still living his purpose each day with a mission to serve our country. Be sure to say hello for me when you you visit Mount Soledad any day of the week except Tuesday. Tuesday he has a standing lunch date with his daughter.
Remember.
A Memorial Day Moment of Remembrance.
Ready to Set Sail again. Soon.
Just a little reminder that Cruise Line Industry of America - CLIA - member cruise lines have always been fastidious about safety and hygiene. Some, like Norwegian Cruise Line, greeted guests with song and hand sanitizer before entering one of the casual dining areas aboard the NCL Escape.
Wellness Moonshot Moment: Hope
This month's Wellness Moonshot is HOPE.
Hope is the anchor of our souls to that which is unseen, that which we are sure of and hold in confidence and with great expectation.
The Global Wellness Institute launched "The Wellness Moonshot: A World Free of Preventable Disease". to "bring together global wellness leaders, the most knowledgeable minds, from scientists and doctors to health experts and advocates, into a growing support network to eradicate preventable, chronic disease worldwide."
As you gaze at the beauty and mystery of April's Full Moon on April 26, consider the significance of HOPE and the delicate balance between body, mind, and spirit. Without hope, the people perish. With hope, hearts find revival, the mind is renewed, and the body can be restored.

Visit the Holy Land
Maybe you've been rethinking travel and re-prioritizing destinations during the long, strange trip we've shared called Covid-Quarantiing. Strange indeed. The Holy Land continues to be a top destination on Bucket Lists for those interested in Faith Based Travel journeys. If you, like many Americans, wonder if a pilgrimage to Israel may be right for you, take a look at one of the top itineraries with my favorite partner in faith-base travel ETS.
If you would like to discuss how to put together a group or join a group going to Israel in late 2021, 2022 or 2023, let me know.
Doggy Ride-Along
Sunday was surprisingly warmer than expected along the coast in San Diego. Lots of paddleboarders and kayakers meandering along the harbor, including this doggy ride-along.
