I hope you all were able to get out this past weekend and enjoy the Easter and Passover holidays. I was able to get out of the house both Saturday and Sunday, it was a welcomed change of pace from my time on the sofa with my leg propped up.
One of my favorite stories around the Easter holiday was of the young boy who was able to not only fulfill his wish of getting a kiss from the Pope, but then took a spin in the Popemobile. That’s certainly a once in a lifetime experience that this child, and his family will never forget from their vacation in Italy.
Did you hear how it actually came to happen? It was his tour guide! That’s right, the tour guide had connections and knew how to position the family in the spot most likely to get them noticed.
Connections can make all the difference when planning a vacation and ultimately can help to provide experiences and memories that will last a lifetime.
While it’s true, I’m not aware of any of my clients having taken a ride in the Popemobile while on vacation, there are plenty of other experiences we’ve arranged.
Here are a few of my favorite client experiences so far:
~surprising a client by arranging for a B&B in Ireland that was next door to the home that her Grandmother had lived in as a child
~arranging a skydive onto the beaches of Normandy for two young men who’s Grandfather had landed on those same beaches on D-Day
~arranging for a client to have the top layer of his wedding cake recreated exactly from a photo. We then arranged for him to have it presented to his wife as dessert on their first anniversary dinner while on vacation!
