Dear Friends,

Have you ever taken a moment while traveling to stop abruptly in your tracks and just allowed yourself
to be present and genuinely absorb your surroundings? Have you acknowledged your emotions at
that exact moment in time? More impor tantly, does that moment lead you to a feeling of gratefulness?

The ability to travel is a tremendous privilege. The nex t time you are traveling and a moment you have
elicits an emotion, recognize it and acknowledge your gratitude.

These thoughts above led me to reread some of my favorite quotes about travel. Enjoy!

To move, to breathe, to f ly, to f loat; to gain all while you give; to roam the roads of lands remote; to
travel is to live.” Hans Christian Andersen

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the
ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in
your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” Mark Twain

“We wander for distraction, but we travel for fulf illment.” Hilaire Belloc

“I haven’t been every where but it’s on my list.” Susan Sontag

“If you’re twenty-two, physically f it, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel – as far and
as widely as possible. Sleep on f loors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook.
Learn from them – wherever you go.” Anthony Bourdain

“This hear t of mine was made to travel the world.” Unknown

“We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, nex t to f ind ourselves. We travel to open our
hear ts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate. We travel
to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those par ts of the globe whose riches
are differently dispersed. And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again- to slow time down
and get taken in, and fall in love once more.” Pico Iyer

Have a beautiful Summer and Fall. Travel safe, with gratitude and kindness.

All my best,

The Equestrian Hotel

Ocala, Florida

Introducing the new Equestrian Hotel in Ocala, Florida, where riding boots go hand in
hand with stilettos, and weekly equestrian competitions attract exhibitors from all over
the world.
Every inch of the European-inspired 380-acre luxury estate hotel has been carefully
designed, and custom created with equestrian subtleties- from the bit handles on the
nightstands to the bridle patterns running through the carpeting in the hallways.
Nothing captures all the splendor quite like the Saturday Night competitions, where as
many as 7,500 spectators gather at the Grand Arena dressed to the nines to watch
these majestic equine athletes jump for the grand prize.

Mahogany and Italian porcelain cover the Grand Lobby and the entire f irst f loor, with 20-foot ceilings and 80+ Schonbek
Swarovski crystal chandeliers and a f loor-to-ceiling stone f ireplace.
There are seven restaurants on the proper ty for every taste. At Stirrups, the Opus One is f lowing, and caviar is bumping. At
The Yellow Pony Pub, custom saddle stools (both English and Western) serve as bar stools around the horse-shoe-shaped bar.
