Happy New Year everyone!
It’s been a crazy holiday season for my family and I, but it’s over, and
we’re now into a new year. 2012 is
officially in the record books, and the blank canvas that is 2013 looks to be
an exceptionally fun, exciting, and possibly interesting picture that we’ll be
painting over the next 12 months. Along
the path throughout 2012, we saw and experienced a variety of changes that we
did not foresee back in January a year ago – so here on just the third day of
January, I can definitely say that what we currently THINK the year-end picture
will be, will undoubtedly only be a shadow of what it truly will become.
Some of the highlights of 2012 include planning quite a few
multi-generational family vacations for clients, along with various anniversary
trips and the like. Our business has grown
in various ways, and we are very grateful for each and every twist and turn in
the road that has spurred that growth. Our
Facebook page growth has been phenomenal in the number of fans and followers,
as well as the growth we’ve experienced in other online platforms such as
Twitter, Google+, Pinterest and more.
It has been very gratifying to be able to help families and
individuals put together vacation plans that will help them create memories to
last a lifetime. From those couples
traveling without children, to the groups of friends traveling for Girlfriends
Getaways or simply couples traveling together, our knowledge and experience
within industry just continues to grow.
We have become trusted resources for many throughout this past year, and
look to continue the upward trend in the coming year. With an online presence reaching into homes
in more than 75% of the states within these United States, and a variety of
nations beyond our borders thanks to this blog, we are finding clients from all
across the country coming to us for assistance in putting together their
vacations. For that we are very grateful. We can’t go beyond North America (by nature
of the rules of the various vendors with which we work), but it is exciting to
see how people find us from all around the globe. As that famous (or infamous) song that the
Sherman brothers wrote for Walt Disney back in 1964 says, it really is a small
world after all!
Thanks to each one of you who subscribe to this blog, and to
those of you who have opted to get updates by email or RSS. We truly appreciate your readership, and hope
that you will continue to do so in 2013.
I’ve said it before, and truly hope to be able to act upon it this year –
I look forward to expanding what is shared in this space, including having some
guest contributors in the hopefully not too distant future.
With that I will bid you all a happy, safe, peaceful and
prosperous New Year.
Until next time,
