A Personal Note From Michelle

 

Celebration Travel Journeys is a weekly, electronic newsletter written by Michelle Woodson and dedicated to all things travel.

 

 

 

Greetings!   

 

Me 

I hope you and your family had a great Thanksgiving holiday! I can't believe it's almost the end of the year. Where has the time gone?

 

Recently, I had the pleasure of speaking with dear friends of mine, Steven & Christy Crampton, who also happen to be clients.  They celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary in May, and decided to plan a BIG trip to the Riviera Maya, Mexico. After looking at several options they decided that Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun would be the place. From that point forth, the trip took on a life of its own.

  

They were joined by close friends, Sandy & Mark and Joe & Angeline. It turned out that Sandy's birthday was during the week of the trip, and Joe proposed to Angeline shortly after this all came together. Now there were three great reasons to celebrate!

 

It was such an honor to be involved in this milestone event in Steven and Christy's life which they'll remember forever. A few days ago I spoke with Sandy as they were planning their 2013 vacation, and she said something to me that I'll never forget. She said "that was the best vacation I've ever had." Wow! What an honor to be trusted with such an important aspect of her life.

 

I'm sure you already know by now that travel is extremely important to me.  I've been fortunate to have traveled all my life as a result of growing up in the diplomatic corps. What you may not know is that in 2003 I lost my husband in a tragic car accident. Life is short. You're not promised tomorrow. One year ago I got engaged to a wonderful man, and I look forward with optimism to the future and celebrating our milestone events. This is why celebration travel is so important to me.

 

The glass is always half full.  Never half empty.  I've been blessed beyond measure.  Life is a journey... Celebrate! 

 

Best,

 Interview with Christy Crampton for her 30th wedding anniversary celebration:

 

 

MW: Why did you & Steven decide to celebrate your 30th wedding anniversary by taking a trip?

 

CC: It coincided with Sandy's birthday, and Joe and Angeline had just gotten engaged. When you go away for something you really feel like you're escaping the stresses of everyday life. It allows you to do something really fun together; relax and reconnect with each other and your friendships. Mexico is also an excellent value.

 

MW: Did you plan on inviting friends or how did that evolve?

 

CC: It really grew out of all the celebrations that were happening around the time of our anniversary so it was a triple celebration.

 

MW: Would you do a big trip like this again for this type of special occasion?

 

CC: Yes!! In fact, the second to last day of our vacation everyone agreed and discussed doing it again next year at the same hotel. We all had a fabulous time! 

 

MW: What did you think of Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun in the Riviera Maya for your anniversary celebration?

 

CC: It's a very beautiful resort! Everyone bent over backwards to be helpful and hospitable. Everything about the resort was great. We're all looking forward to going back again.

 

MW: If you could celebrate your 40th anniversary any way you wish, and money was no object, what would you do and where would you go?

 

CC:  If we didn't go back to Secrets Maroma, then I'd really love to do a 30-40 day world cruise! I'd love to see places in Asia. Friends are welcome!

 

MW:  Sounds good to me and, of course, I'll be here to help you plan the celebration.  Happy anniversary Steven & Christy!
