Do you know what movie this line is from “As You Wish”? This is the movie’s famous line that brought Sharon and AJ! together. In January of 2007 Sharon had a unique online profile that was very engaging. She was able to have fun conversations with many people on the dating site but only one man stood out. His name was AJ! and he had just moved to the Cleveland about 4 months before coming across this very engaging dating profile. In fact, he had the movie on his computer. The trick was that one of the two of them had to be a member to speak to the other. AJ! was intrigued by this young lady and her questions so he immediately signed up as a member. This led to a conversation of getting to know each other. Within 2 weeks they went on their first date. He liked her right away because not only did they go into Cleveland to a comedy show, she had discount coupons for everything.
The night of their first date came with a surprise. Her sister Raven was in town. Sharon had 4 tickets to go to Hilarities but only 2 of them were going. So she invited her sister, whose dance card is always full, thinking she would never show up. Low and behold SHE HAD NO OTHER PLANS. So AJ! did not go on a date with just one girl but two on the first date! That is not the ONLY thing that happened though. Sharon, Raven and AJ! had FREE tickets, which meant they sat all the way in the back of the comedy show theatre. The comedian asked if anyone was celebrating anything special and AJ! yelled out “FIRST DATE”, which meant everyone in the room turned around to see where we were sitting. Sharon, not wanting to be the center of attention, was horrified. Meanwhile, her sister, who supposedly was not busy, was on her phone texting people like crazy. One of the first things they tell you at the comedy show is to silence your phones and turn them off because the light is distracting. The ushers had to come over and tell my sister to put her phone away. Boy...was this a memorable first date that we tell over and over again.
Fast forward four months later. Sharon had a timeshare in which she had exchange privileges. She was planning on going to Myrtle Beach because she had never been there before. In fact, she was going to go alone not knowing who to invite. Now that she as dating, she invited AJ! to join her and they had a GREAT time. This is also when AJ! realized that Sharon was a keeper. This led to many other vacations such as visiting Chicago, Sharon’s Family Reunion in Las Vegas, AJ’s first ocean cruise on Carnival, and many other trips. We loved traveling and learning the tricks of the trade.
Sharon dabbled in getting into the travel agency business with a scam company once before. All they did was take her money but they really were not teaching her to be the travel agent she desired. AJ! had been wanting to start a business and dabbled in a few things here and there but it never stuck. So after a friend told Sharon that she and AJ! had the best stories, Sharon and AJ! decided that being a travel agent would be the best thing. Sharon was going to retire in less than 6 years and this could be a nice retirement kind of job. So one of the first things Sharon and AJ! had to do was come up with a name. What had meaning to us? What would be at the beginning of the alphabet so that our name would be one of the first if listed in alphabetical order? What would send a message to our clients that we want to provide GREAT service? This was way too easy! “As You Wish Travel Agency”. So that is how we began.
