"Journey to the Destination is more exciting than the actual Destination" I am a firm believer in this saying.
To me, it means all the informal meetings & interactions for deciding the Destinations, matching holidays & leaves , deciding on the mode of travel and so much more.. This Journey starts when we start thinking of the next holiday or a vacation break. The excitement builds up as we meticulously plan each step considering needs of all family & group members and the excitement increases multi fold times as the actual travel day nears. Shopping for new trendy clothing to match the mood, visit to a local spa or a beauty salon to look and feel more young and elegant, scouting for matching accessories, food and beverages to keep everyone energized, overall ... GETTING BATTERIES FULLY CHARGED including those of your phone and Camera. The TO DO list is always unending and there is always A SOMETHING that is missing. And, finally the D Day arrives when all the planning is going to transform into A REAL EXPERIENCE .. its just so thrilling...
Then, as the itinerary unfolds into a beautiful story, you marvel at the minute planning done earlier. The travel, the transfers, the accommodation, amenities and service all tick the basis but mandatory requirements during this journey. These necessities weave a warm cocoon around the enchanting story line giving it a sense of belongingness and comfort. Natural jewels like the Snow peaked mountains, lush green landscapes, serene beaches, untamed wild life & architectural wonders and other local splendors .. all add refreshing flavors to this story. Local sumptuous cuisines, local languages, rituals, folk music , their hospitality.. it's so much fun to explore more and more. Icing on the cake are the souvenirs and experiences to share with your friends, back home and lasting memories captured in the lenses of your heart. Such is the adorable impact of this magnificent journey that you keep on revisiting those experiences in mind and jump at the very next possible instance to experience them all over again.
So wishing you all a very HAPPY JOURNEY and many memorable experiences.
