On January 2nd of this year, we lost a very dear friend of 30+ years. We went to his house for a New Year’s Eve Party, just as we had done alternately for the last 25 years, only to hear from his daughter that her mom was following him in the ambulance on his way to the ER. They thought he had the flu and just needed fluids. He had endocarditis, a strep virus that was attacking his heart, producing multiple heart attacks, strokes, and then organ failure. He was a very young, active 75. And we are all devastated by his loss.
You’re now asking “WHY is she sharing this sad story with us?” And my question to you now is “WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??”
What is keeping you from taking that bucket-list vacation? What is holding you back from going somewhere that you’ve always dreamed of? Is it that you don’t want to plan too far in advance, what if something happens? That’s what trip insurance is made for! (It isn’t just for medical reimbursement anymore.) Is it that your kids are still young and in school? You only have 18 summers of your life to travel with your kids while they are young (and possibly still want to travel with you!). That’s not a lot of summers in the grand scheme of things. And with the help and guidance of a professional travel agent, you can plan those trips that will give you and your family the memories of a lifetime, without all the stress and worry. The Agent takes that worry and stress away from you and will be there through all of it with you, as well as waiting patiently till you get back to regale the beautiful and funny experiences you shared! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???
Are you waiting till you retire and can travel with your spouse or significant other without having to worry about returning to work? What happens if you retire and like so many other people we hear about, suddenly fall ill and can’t travel? WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???
My point for all of this is that life is way too short to dream about all the places in the world you’ve always wanted to go to and NEVER making those dreams a reality. If you keep waiting, you may never get there. And I can assure that there were places our friend would have loved to go to, but kept putting off for various reasons. Life has a funny way of smacking us in the face with reality, so why not take the plunge and plan that bucket list trip??? Call your travel consultant and let them show you how easy it is!
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??? ENJOY LIFE, MY FRIEND!! LA DOLCE VITA!!
