Let's all say this together! Stand up and place your hand over your heart . . . we resolve to . . .
...make our politicians see time off for travel as a right, not a luxury; so we can rest, recharge, rejuvenate and reignite our passions being more creative, loyal and productive employees.

...be a better global ambassador exhibiting the true spirit of America--not what is on TV.
...take any and all vacation time we've earned...and steal whatever extra days off we can.
...go someplace new in 2017, instead of returning to the old tried and true goto vacation destinations.
...stop saying you've "done" a country, knowing deep down that we could never really know a country unless we lived there. And I really think I need to KNOW Italy more.
...consciously unplug for longer and longer stretches when we travel.
... NOT do last minute "guilt" souvenir shopping at the airport shop on the way home.
...take better pictures--but not so many that we forget to see what is in front of us.
...buy quality travel gear and take less of it.
...learn something new in each place we go about the culture, language, cuisine, politics, history and religion.
...turn strangers in strange lands into our friends.
...not let technology get in the way of us meeting fellow travelers and indigenous people when traveling.
...integrate travel more into our lives, as we have with a good diet, exercising regularly and sleeping right. Travel is good for us in so many ways, be it physically, mentally and spiritually
...be more patient dealing with the trials and tribulations of traveling -- be they TSA lines, surly customer service airline reps, over-packed late flights, noisy hotel rooms, boorish fellow travelers or screaming babies.
It's going to be a great YEAR! I look forward to working with you to plan some amazing trips for you and your family and friends!
What's your dream for 2017! Well, dreams always equal Italy for me, so I'll be in Italy in 2 months.
