Hello Stars,
Was ambulating with my huskies and staying in a place someone said was luxury #lagunabeach #lagunaniguel #ritzcarlton and when I got there it was something different and finding a broken structure of something once so pretty.
Which brought me to the question, what is luxury travel to you? To me traveling the world the definition varies on our bias or socialization and/or class. Many say there is no class system yet from my observation this is alive and breathes fire or ice depending on how you view this.
Luxury to me is health, life without worry and something that turns on a light within us, makes the heart race and excises fear like a malignant nodule. Its like the last meeting of your dad or loved one and somehow everything fades and just that person exists (the world becomes silent) and in that second warmth floods all and you feel whole. To a lady I asked on the street she said luxury is having coca-cola and a new dress.
To a scholar it was knowledge and sharing it with someone over fine dining with a view of the city. To others luxury is elegant dining, accommodations, brand name items, German/Italian cars, health, education, a smart beautiful wife, child or family or the sometimes structure in which this happens? Just arrived back from a luxury trip which required lots of intervention.

Hope all had a joyful holiday. What made it great for @OSAMA @ErmesT @tiagoe @LucMart @HO
Hi @IndiaC
Hope you had juiful holidays too.
My last month (maybe a bit more than a month) was unbelievable, with a lot of friendship, and very important moments for my local guide life.
This fantastic period started in the last week of November, in a meetup for experiencing some of the most exclusive italian wine
A lot of friends reached me in this experience, for two beautiful days together.
On december 18th Connect gave me a beautiful present, that still filling my heart of joy: /Meet-a-Connect-Moderator-Ermest/
Just yesterday @KarenVChin wrote a beautiful post about friendship. This post for me is priceless: /My-San-Francisco-Being-a-Local-Guide-for-Another-Local-Guide/
This is my small present to all the community. /Happy-2018-After-the-Sunset-a-new-Sunrise-will-come/
Hope you had a beautiful time too, with a lot of friends
My best wishes of "good life" with a photo - A sea of liquid gold in a beautiful sunset

Thanks @ErmesT very well written and its a breath of fresh air the way you describe with words and photos the experiences and how you honor other Zmoderderators like @KarenVChin and her witty post on friendship.
Take care and thanks for the many lessons, excellent photos and wine (no whine).
