Quotations:
“You don’t have to be rich to live rich.” ~ Chris Klesh
“I believe in the power of vacation, especially in today’s environment. We all need whatever age group we’re in, political persuasion we’re in, we all need to retreat, relax, renew, rejoice, and create those memories and experiences. And a lot of that’s done through travel and leisure.”
“Remember, we travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.”
“I just try to help people. My forte, my expertise, is to know the deals.”
“Planning in advance, if you can, you’re going to get the best rates.”
“Remember the best things in life aren’t the material things, they’re your health. And a lot of health is through memories and experiences, sports, and travel.”
