It’s funny how we attract people who are much like ourselves.
Some of our clients are just looking for a quick vacation, but far many more are explorers who are curious about this magnificent planet, and all it has to offer.
Many have discovered this wanderlust as they’ve grown a bit older, but some have shown such symptoms their entire life.
Such is the case with Kay Moon.
We’ve been working with Kay and her husband Rick for the past several years. They would contact us once a year or so to book their next cruise to various places, and then several months would pass before we spoke with them again. Because our clients are all over the country, we knew Kay and Rick much like we know most of our clients: through telephone conversations and email exchanges.
It’s always a treat to meet our clients in person, and (believe it or not) we do keep track of where you all are. If there’s a chance we are ever in the same place at the same time, we usually reach out and make an attempt to connect.
A couple of years ago, the Moons were doing a cruise that circumnavigated South America, and they happened to land in Puerto Vallarta when we were there too. So we spent an afternoon with them, and Kay revealed at that time that she had previously visited coastal Mexico when she and her family lived aboard a sailboard for five years.
She also was writing a book to share the experience.
If you’re anything like me, this is the type of book you love to read. It is personal, compelling, and interesting. In my mind the next best thing to visiting places around the world yourself is to read someone else’s well-written account of their adventures.
I picked up Kay’s book on Amazon for a recent plane trip, and could not put it down. It’s particularly interesting to me after having met Kay and Rick in person, but you don’t have to know her to enjoy the book.
Here’s the info:
Be Careful What You Wish For: A true story of an American family’s five year adventure living on the high seas. (ISBN: 978-1-7283-2629-0)
If you’re hardwired as an explorer and discoverer, you will love Kay’s book.
