Don't Let Traveling During the Holidays Make You Crazy
As many of you know, the Holiday Season promises many things: joy, love, presents, caring, caroling, get togethers and, of course, traveling. So it is no surprise that many of the classic Christmas movies have involved the craziness of getting somewhere to see loved ones. Some of my favorite movies that I watch annually have subplots centered on how chaotic traveling can be during the Holidays ( Home Alone, Planes, Trains & Automobiles, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, etc.).
Just in time for this year’s Holiday Movie Madness is Up in the Air, starring George Clooney. According to what I have read, George plays Ryan Bingham, a man who travels around the country to terminate corporate employees. The story is about a corporate downsizer in his travels and follows his isolated life and philosophies, including the people that he meets along the way. Not surprisingly, the subplot involves the relationships he builds with the people he travels with and the people who get him here and there as he racks up his frequent flyer miles.
What makes this movie interesting to me as the owner of a worldwide ground transportation company is how many times I have encountered a Ryan Bingham traveler. In fact, I have made my living picking up and dropping off Ryan Binghams at various airports, offices, events and meetings. To many travelers, the only family they have are the people who greet them at the airport to drive them to their next occasion. To others who are more fortunate, the chauffeur who is there to meet them at the gate is the first person who allows them to breathe in deep—knowing that there are close to home and their loved ones.
Traveling during the Holidays doesn’t have to be tumultuous. Allow yourself to experience the joy of moving from place to place without the stress or hassle encountered in other avenues of transportation. ETS International creates a unique and satisfying ground transportation experience for its clients whether in Boston or cities across the country and around the world.
As a lifelong native of Massachusetts and a frequent traveler of the world myself, I can assure you that there is no place like Boston during the Holiday season. There are so many things going on in the city this month leading up to Christmas, including Christmas Tree Lightings and The Holiday Market (Summer Street in Downtown Crossing).
I also stumbled across a great discount package from the City of Boston and the Mayor that includes a memorable show, holiday shopping, a festive meal, an overnight stay, and the free and low-cost celebrations that are Boston’s treasured holiday traditions. Why not use ETS International to put the icing on a memorable cake? You can find out more about the Mayor’s Gift Package by clicking here.
On behalf of myself, Johnny Greene, and the staff at ETS International, I would like to wish you and yours a wonderful holiday and all the health, happiness and prosperity in 2010! We can’t wait to see you and are proud to be part of your extended family. Whether you are traveling to see a loved one or on your way to a business endeavor, ETS is confident you will get there faster, safer and with the least amount of stress. God knows we all need that these days. Matter of fact, I think I might just go for a drive myself. Happy Holidays!
