A thought for your day, with my good wishes …

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.

– Helen Keller

It’s people who make the greatest impact, and Club Concierge Minka made this traveller feel welcome despite the hour yesterday - as did Lynn when we met. Am also appreciating the pops of deep green in my room and around this lovely property. #luxuryhotel #atlanta #usedtobetheritz #exploreatlanta #thewhitleyhotel #atlantageorgia #visualsoflife #buckhead #exploreatlanta #aplacetoremember #TakeMeThere #MomentsLikeThese #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke Day One in Atlanta, catching up with some friends and some first-time meetings with other lovely people. We began the evening at @thewhitleyhotel before making our way to @poncecitymarket - which represents revitalization of the city’s historic Sears, Roebuck & Co. building. From there, we made our way past other local landmarks such as the iconic Bank of America skyscraper, said to be the 107th tallest building on the planet, and Coca Cola’s corporate office before enjoying more great company and food (swordfish 😋) at The #Optimist fish camp and oyster bar. Thanks, all, for your company and to John for the dining recommendation. #atlanta #friends #executivesecretarylive #exploreatlanta Delegates who will be attending #ExecSecLIVE Atlanta are in for a treat at this @marriotthotels property, The Whitley Atlanta Buckhead. A good stay begins with a warm and efficient welcome, and that’s just what I received from Isaiah, Drinne and Brandon after my red eye flight. I love hotels with character and have already spotted some nice nooks and crannies - great for socialising, or a bit of quiet time. #execseclive #luxuryhotel #atlanta #usedtobetheritz #exploreatlanta #thewhitleyhotel #atlantageorgia #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #TakeMeThere #MomentsLikeThese #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke If these scenes look cold, it’s because they are! I love the patchwork of land and life visible from the air.

It was almost like being home in Vancouver. ☺️ If you see the upcoming (2020) Jane Austen movie, “Emma”, believe me when I tell you this Cotswold village is just as enchanting as it appears. More pics to follow. #architecture #cotswolds #cotswoldslife #janeausten #emma #exploreengland #villagelife #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport A Gloucestershire field - driving from Bath to Stow-On-the-Wold this May, the chances of me driving past this beautiful setting without stopping to soak it all up were zero. #cotswolds #gloucestershire #cotswoldslife #discovercotswolds #landscape #countryside #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #TakeMeThere #MomentsLikeThese #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #travel #nature #stowe Vancouver’s November skyline #vancouver #vancity #vancityvibes #nature #autumn #fall #hellobc #picoftheday #picoftheweek #explorebc #explorecanada #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke
