Affording Your Dreams

Chania Harbor, Crete.
If you've listened to others tell you about their great vacations and said, "I wish I could afford to do that," then I have good news for you.  You probably can. 

Too often, people focus on the price of their vacation in determining affordability, but the best way to choose your next vacation is to decide where and when you want to go, and then ask me to help you find the best vacation value.  Perusing ads, which you have undoubtedly previously found to be frequently intentionally misleading, will just drive you crazy.

If there is an outstanding deal for the cruise or tour you want, I will find it, and if you want to take an extended stay at a nice resort, my vendors like Pleasant Holidays, MLT and Apple Vacations will match the price of any legitimate supplier.

I will screen the possibilities for you and then help you choose the one that best fits your personal desires at the best value.  All you need to do is share exactly what you want and what in the past you've found makes you happiest.

Finding money for a vacation is easy.  Let's say you go out to a happy hour where drinks and tapas run between $3 and $6.  With a couple of drinks each and a few nibbles, two of you will easily spend $35 to $50.  If you do this once a week, that's about $150 to $200 per month.  Over the course of a year, figure that's $1800 to $2400.  I'm not saying you shouldn't go to happy hour or out to a nice meal and a movie, but they are choices that could just as easily go toward a great cruise.

You should never say anything about yourself that you don't want to be true.  Our minds are incredibly complex, and for some reason we attract the circumstances that we think about.  Therefore, instead of thinking you couldn't possibly afford a great vacation, or being jealous of people who actually simply made different choices on how to spend their money, decide what you want and focus on that.

Your amazing mind will find a way to make it happen, as long as you aren't simultaneously feeding it negative thoughts of lack. So, where in the world would you like to go?

I'd love to help you get there. 

Better service leads to better trips!
