Honeymoons – Something we need or just something we used to do?

Early this morning I got to witness, along with millions of others, as a young woman married her prince. I thought it was a beautiful ceremony and I love all the pageantry that surrounds a Royal Wedding. I remember the first Royal Wedding I got to see was in 1973 when Princess Anne married Mark Phillips. I go to stay up late to watch some of the ceremony on a black and white TV. I was in awe of the spectacle I was watching.  Since then I have gotten up early or stayed up late to watch each of the Queen’s children get married amid a lot of pageantry associated with a Royal Wedding. What amazed me about today’s wedding that was different to other Royal Weddings I have watched was its intimacy and how relaxed the couple looked. Not any easy accomplishment when you have millions around the world watching, yet they managed to do that.

So Much To Do And So Little Time...

Last week I got back home from a 5-day Cruise Agent conference in Fort Lauderdale called Cruise360. Cruise360 consists of workshops, presentations, trade shows, and ship tours. There was so much to see, do and learn that it is hard to know where to start!

It Was Time to Take My Own Advice!

Well after writing so much about workaholics and talking about them for the past three weeks on my radio show, I decided it was time to follow my own advice and take a break. So yesterday dawned bright and beautiful day and my husband suggested we go for a drive, just him, me and our dog, Gus.

Rushing Around Like a Hummingbird, Time to Take a Break!

Have you ever taken the time to just sit and watch something like a hummingbird flitting around? They seem to hover and constantly feed to keep themselves going. They dart here and there feeding on different food sources their tiny bodies need. Do hummingbirds ever take a break? Yes they do. They actually spend about 10-15% or their time feeding and 75-80% of their time sitting and digesting.

Travel for Modern Day Workaholics

Are you a workaholic?
Do you put off taking vacations because you fear losing business?
What about those who work for you? Are they suffering because you don’t take a vacation?
