A new “moon” is rising

November 5, 2010 by Ann Petronio Leave a Comment

I’m working with some repeat clients who have taken full advatange of just about all the “moons” there are — a minimoon to Cape Cod right after their wedding…a fantastic honeymoon in Hawaii a few months later…and now they’re back to plan a babymoon in the White Mountains before their firstborn arrives in February. Since I’m all about finding fantastic reasons to take a vacation, this latest “moon” has me thinking…

Most of the “moons” you hear about right now are clustered around that 20’s and 30’s age range when you’re getting engaged, married, and becoming parents for the first time. And those are all great reasons to take a celebratory vacation. But I would argue that those of us in our 40’s and beyond are even MORE in need of a special getaway now and then. So here are my suggestions for some additional “moons” that I’d like to see take hold in popular culture. Feel free to add to the list!

Middle School Moon — When your kids are hitting that terrible hormonal age and the two of you really, really need a break from them (for their safety and your sanity)
Menopause Moon — When you yourself are hitting that terrible hormonal age and you really, really need to get away with your girlfriends for a little while and forget about husbands, jobs, kids, etc.
Mortgage Moon — When you finally write that last check to the bank and want to run off to Tahiti with your spouse to celebrate

A favorite thing about cruises? The miles and mile

A favorite thing about cruises? The miles and miles of endless ocean!⁠
⁠
If you can find a quiet spot on the ship (or if you have a private balcony) this is one of the most tranquil, relaxing, rejuvenating parts of cruising. ⁠
⁠
When Liz was working on cruise ships, this was her favorite view. Just far enough from land that you can only see the endless ocean. An experience of calm tranquility you rarely get on other vessels. ⁠

Karenna and Andrew had a fabulous time in the Galapagos! ⁠
⁠
"Just wanted to let you know that we had the most amazing time. Thanks for all of your help! Here are a few pictures. I was very impressed with Ecuador, the people, food, city. I enjoyed the time around Quito doing all kinds of adventures. The Galapagos was indescribable, but luckily you know what I mean! Animals and fish and just each island. We need to go back, because we are in love."⁠
⁠
We were so excited to plan this trip for them, especially after Ann's own recent Galapagos Adventure! ⁠

Standing at one of the Southernmost Points of the African Continent! ⁠
⁠
If you have the time to take a day trip from Cape Town, you are right near the southern tip of the African Continent - Cape Point! (not the most southern tip which is Cape Agulhas; but you’re still at the edge of the continent) ⁠
⁠
The area is a national reserve and costs R303 ($20) to enter if you’re an international visitor. In the Cape National Park, you will find many hiking trails, places to stay, and a few restaurants.⁠
⁠
This is the end of the continent. You look back from this point and the whole continent of Africa is behind you. It’s a pretty cool thought. And best of all, it’s beautiful. ⁠

IN THEIR OWN WORDS

"It was truly magical, and the logistics were seamless. We cannot thank you enough for setting it all up in such a way that we really did not have to worry about transportation whatsoever. It gave us all the more time to enjoy the sun, ocean and culture. All the honeymoon amenities were such a great surprise too – and made us feel so special."

"The vacation was all we could have ever asked for or imagined. We even got engaged!!Thank you for all your help, we had an amazing time and will be contacting you again for our next trip and our honeymoon! We couldn’t be more satisfied with all of your suggestions and assistance"

"We had a great time on the adventure as always. Thank you once again for your help. Our trips wouldn’t be half as good and planning would be more than twice as stressful without your wisdom!"

"Thank you for doing such a great job for us! It really was flawless. You will hear from us again. I am hoping to plan another European vacation next year -- I’m not getting any younger! LOL Recommending you to everyone I know!"

"Hope you had a great weekend. Just wanting to get back to you with feedback from our Hawaiian honeymoon!! We truly couldn’t have had a better time & are so appreciative of all you did in putting together such a wonderful trip we’ll remember forever!"

"Thank you for everything :) :) we absolutely LOVED our trip!! Moorea is the definition of Paradise! The lush vegetation and the crystal clear lagoon had me staring at the views in awe every single day. I must have said a million times that the views just do not get old!"

"it was AMAZING! Kudos to Thad for picking Rovos and Sindabezi Island and then you helped the two seamlessly come together with transfers and your Private Safari Connections. We will definitely chat! I also have about a thousand pictures to share! THIS was truly a once in a lifetime trip!!!"
