Late for this year, Early for next year

The Countdown Clock

I’m sure you heard the phrase, the glass is half full or half empty, right? Well, have you heard, the glass is half as far or half as close? It seems every time we near the festive period, this is the phrase we actually say, without even knowing it. I may have been one of the inventors of this as a common procrastinator myself. Maybe that’s why I am always wondering if we are looking at this the wrong way. Maybe it’s not about how much water is in the glass, maybe it’s about how attainable the glass is.

Ok enough with the analogies, I know. Every year around this time, roughly 30 days before the beginning of the festive travel period, the extreme procrastinators wake up and start planning their holiday travels. While space is pretty much exhausted, there are pockets of space, however, that is where my analogy comes in. It may be 30 days before this festive period; it is also 395 days before festive 2024, and that is the number we should pay attention to. It means those who waited until the last minute for this year are actually early for next year right? Well, I’m telling that to myself..

Our team is taking reservations for festive 2024 and helping guests find the space that wasn’t available this year. That space is going fast too, so let’s start talking about that glass again.
