I just ran a poll on linked in. Not surprisingly, 100% of the people who've responded to the poll agreed with my question whether "Being Near Water Makes Us Happier."
What do you think?
I just read an article on CN Traveler titled https://www.cntraveller.com/gallery/why-being-near-water-really-does-make-us-happier
The article says "there are scientific reasons why we're so drawn to lakes, rivers, and oceans." And "since humans started exploring the planet, we’ve followed the water. Crossing oceans gave way to new discoveries and changed the course of history; chasing rivers opened our horizons. As travellers, we seek waterways on holiday, driving new coastlines in search of wild surf spots. We return to
familiar blue spaces we grew up around. Month after month, water graces the covers of travel magazines."
I certainly can share that I wholeheartedly agree. And the vast majority of my clients too. When they are stressed out, and need to return to a new calm, they seek out water. When they are celebrating or reuniting with family, they seek out water. And if they just want to get away from work and noise and responsibilities, they seek out water.
Is it true for you?

I have access to a great private sale with Silversea for the rest of the month of July. Some sailings with terrific offers.
I will share more details on my Tuesday reminder about the Zoom with A&K, as I won't put the sale on social media - so it'll be exclusive details for you as my client.
But, if you're eager to see the list, email me at sheila@lushlife.ca and I'll share the sailings that we have access to some exclusive offers and deals.

Regent World Cruise 2024!
Can't Believe Sold Out - but WAITLIST?
|
|
wow, Regent put their 2024 World Cruise on sale, and it sold out in a couple of hours! 900 days before the cruise!
Talk about pent up demand!
Let me know if you are interested in being added to the waitlist. As folks who'd grabbed space initially don't go forward to deposit (life, family, work, etc interferes) there will be some availability that isn't there right now.
We can just put you on the list - or - a deposit of $7000 gives you prioritized access on Regent's waitlist

Client Testimonial:
Excellence is her middle name
|
|
Getting ready to travel again? Retain the services of a professional, like me.
My client, Kathie, says:
Excellence is her middle name
Here's her testimonial from 28 Dec 2019
"This was my first experience working with Sheila and I’m certain it won’t be my last. Every detail of our trip: leading up to, during and after was handled with calm confidence.
Because it was a group trip, Sheila had her hands full and handled every person and every request with patience and compassion. Pack your patience she advised us all but we didn’t ever need to unpack it because Sheila handled everything.
It’s true that when you love what you do it doesn’t feel like work and that describes our experience with Sheila.
What a pleasure."
Let me know if you'd like to schedule a complimentary vacation planning session.
