Dear
Dave,
I find that everyday is still filled
with ups and downs.
Up
– as more agents are excited about
future bookings and inquiries coming
in.
Down
– further lock downs as Covid cases
spike up with Spring breaks and the
new variants spreading quickly.
Up
– booking our own vacation in
January to the Riviera Maya. A trip
to look forward to!
Down
– still patiently waiting for our
vaccinations.
|
I
guess all we can do is still take it
one day at a time. I do try to get
into a routine, that most days
includes a walk at the Quay at the
Fraser River…
|
My
latest photo hobby is turning some
of my recognizable travel photos
into digital artwork. Here is one of
the beautiful Cathedral in Mazatlan.
Stay safe and strong.
Sincerely,
Dave Emery
