What is Paradise? No, Paradise Village is nearby and included in Paradise.Actually, though, Paradise is where we get away from it all. It could be Hawaii, Squaw Valley skiing in heavy snow, Jackson Hole skiing in flour like powder, or somewhere in the Caribbean. It is anywhere you want it to be and where you feel a sense of enjoyment while there.
For us, leaving is always difficult. Should we stay longer next time? Should we get to know more people? How do we manage getting more weeks, if we were lucky enough to stay longer? All these questions.
We know many fellow members go through the same process. Why? Because they live in places where it is cold and dreary during the winter months. So their enjoyment comes in blocks of months, not weeks. Often they are able to spend two blocks of multiple weeks. Which is something they look forward to each year.
But, in the end, we all have to leave. And that is just what Ross and his family recently did. But the nice thing about their trip is they were able to snap one last image.....of Paradise. And here is what they sent us to share with you all:
The McKone family sent us the last photo. What fun, and yet we all have to leave.
