Article: Get the ball rolling by having your client give you an overview of the sorts of locales, accommodations, and activities they're looking for in a vacation. Tell them to be as specific as they please. By getting a sense of their preferences, you'll be able to pick out a package that's just right for them.  Start with a broad opener like, "What kind of weather do you enjoy?" before narrowing your focus to more a directed line of inquiry such as, "Would you prefer a hip resort with all the trappings, or a quiet, secluded bed and breakfast?" Some people might be looking for a sunny Caribbean cruise, while others may be more interested in an extended stay in the rustic European countryside. Money can be a sensitive subject. A good way to broach the issue is by focusing on the person's wants rather than their limitations. For instance, instead of asking, “How much do you have to spend?” you could open with something like, “Are you looking for something simple and cozy, or are you more interested in the deluxe package with all the trimmings?”  From here, you can eliminate options that don't meet your client's financial criteria. Avoid making statements that might be seen as invasive or judgmental, such as “I think a less expensive package would be a better choice in your case.” You don't want to risk alienating the person you're supposed to be working for. Consider the distance they'll have to cover to reach their destination. Would they rather get their by land, sea, or air? Will they need separate transportation once they arrive? These are practical concerns that will help travelers get where they're going more comfortably and conveniently.  Let your client know about packages that feature optional upgrades, such as first-class airfare or a larger cabin. Be sure to mention if transportation isn't included, as this will create additional expense for the client. Once your client has given you an idea of what they want from their trip, you can begin narrowing down their options based on the things they like to do. Built-in events and activities are a way of helping vacationers get more out of their leisure time. Sometimes, their decision to purchase a certain package may come down to the inclusion of a pair of concert tickets or windsurfing lessons. Adventurous souls might be tempted by a guided hike to a volcano or a ziplining adventure in the treetops, while those who are seeking some peace and quiet will likely get more satisfaction from a night at the opera or a day pass to a modern art exhibit. There's something for everybody!

Article: If you are in the middle of dinner or are doing an activity that requires you to move a lot, holding hands will not be very convenient. You don't want to hold hands for the first time when both of you are in a large group of friends or at a family gathering. The two of you don't necessarily have to be alone, but make sure it is a private place where both of you are comfortable.  Try taking a walk on the beach, going for a hike, or taking a stroll down the street. You may have people around you, but strangers will most likely not pay attention to the two of you, giving you the privacy you need. A movie theater is a great place to initiate hand holding. Since you are sitting right next to each other, your positions are very conducive to holding hands. The darkness adds a layer of privacy and may help if your date is shy. You might be a little nervous, so check your hands to make sure they are not sweaty or clammy. If they are, subtly wipe them off or stick them in your pockets for a moment to dry them off. Your date may be nervous too, but sweaty palms are not very appealing. Also make sure your hands are clean and moisturized. Super dry hands or hands that smell are an even bigger turn off than sweaty hands. When you've found the right time and place and you feel ready, walk close to your date and gently take his hand. Remember to be gentle and not to rush it. Make it as subtle as possible and remember to keep talking or walking to ensure it is natural and comfortable.  Make sure you don't lurch forward and scare your date trying to take his hand. You don't want to give off the wrong impression at this early stage in your relationship. You can also try gently rubbing your hands down your date's arm before you link your hands. This gives him a heads up before you grab his hand and adds a nice, more intimate touch to your initial hand holding. If your date pulls away, don't force the issue. It may be that he isn't interested, but he may also just be shy and is not quite ready to hold hands. Don't take it personally and try to make him feel comfortable in the situation. You'll get there eventually. Use the simple hand grasp technique at first. When you grab his hand, reach across his hand to where your palms are centered, making an X with your hands. Gently close your hand, wrapping your fingers and thumb around the edges of your date's hand.  For the more intimate moment, consider gently rubbing your thumb across the back of his hand. This adds a layer of affection to your grasp and it lets him know you are enjoying the activity without you having to tell him. If he returns the gesture, you know you're doing it right. Try not to hold too tight. This can be uncomfortable and cause both of your hands to sweat. If you're out on a date, look for subtle signs that he might be ready for you to hold his hand. If your date has been giving you the cold shoulder all night, this is a sure sign that he is not interested. But if he has been walking close to you and seems comfortable, this is a good signal for initiating hand holding. If your date has found little ways to initiate gentle physical contact, like playfully pushing you or grabbing your arm, he is more than likely open to holding hands.
