Engagement Season!

December 31, 2009 by Ann Petronio Leave a Comment

It’s that time of year…shiny new engagement rings are popping up all over the place and giddy couples are starting to think about 2010 and 2011 weddings.

What does that mean for Annie’s Escapes? It means that honeymoon season is not that far behind! Of course, the honeymoon is often the very last thing the couple thinks about, but I like to get out there ahead of the curve and at least plant the seed that I’m here, ready and waiting to help whenever they get to that point in their plans.

To that end, I’ll be taking part in La Bella Bride Magazine’s Newport Wedding Showcase next weekend (Sunday, January 10th) It’s an intimate little boutique-style show at the Hotel Viking in Newport, and it showcases some of the best wedding vendors in southern New England.

If you want to come and check it out, just let me know — I have a limited number of free passes that I’m happy to share. And I’m very excited about my booth! I’m working with some of my friends in the Rhode Island Wedding Group, and will have beautiful linens from The Perfect Setting at Felicia’s and gorgeous tropical flowers from Conceptual Image Designs.

I’ll be sure to post some photos after the fact!

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!!!"
