Having just endured the hassles of clearing the Airport Security I settle into my seat at the window and prepared to be lifted into the skies and was dreaming of the beach. Then it hit me how am I getting to the hotel “Oh yes” there is going to be a pre-arranged private car waiting for me when I land. You see a friend of mine recommended Robert saying he had used Robert’s World Wide booking service and was amazed on how much it added to his trip. My friend John like my self and many others always drove to the airport and used the Park and ride shuttle and rented a car at the destination airport or used the hotel supplied shuttle.
Now John had described to me that Robert set up a private car to meet him when he arrived which took him to the hotel in style. John related to me how he began relaxing on the plane because he figured it out that his holiday started when he stepped on the plane no worries no hassles.
To make things even more appealing Robert had arranged for a concierge to meet John at his Hotel with some ideas about how to find the cultural things to do and enjoy. They met every morning for breakfast where John received a breakdown of different things to see or activities to become involved in, what areas to be wary of and areas to just simply stay away from. John was guided to beaches that were amazingly clean and open, he found shops and restaurants that were off the beaten path but provided him with a real taste of the culture and the local foods.
By now I was looking forward to arriving not so much that I was excited to get away from the grind and weather but was anticipating having some sun and fun that was going to allow me to relax but enjoy as well.
Once I cleared customs and walked through a set of doors into the airport lobby I saw my name and acknowledged the driver who immediately took my luggage and escorted me to the awaiting car. My holiday had begun and I knew what John was taking about .
I can tell you that my trip home was just as exciting as the trip to the Caribbean, my next trip is to Europe for a rail tour I have made all the arrangements with Robert because he made it happen for me, I finally had a vacation I could call a vacation. I didn’t even mind that I was heading back to Edmonton where the temperature was in the -30 C range.
“Oh” by the way I forgot to mention that Robert was waiting for me with a cold bottle of water and a warm comfortable car to take me to my residence. I hope your holidays Will Happen like mine just did, and something I forgot to mention the coffee Robert had for me when he picked me up in the wee hours of the morning, that set the stage for my very personal holiday.
