Retiring aboard where there is no recession!
We have all sorts of interesting customers in Elephant Storage. I would like to share a lovely story of a couple retiring and starting a new life aboard in Israel.
Five years ago a doctor from Tallaght Hospital and his wife were one our 1st customer’s when Elephant self Storage opened in Dublin in 2005. They decided to sell their house and took a small storage room to de-clutter as they prepared to sell up. As Elephant is convenient to Tallaght Hospital in Dublin it was easy for our clients to drop in and out with their belongings and over time I got to know them like good friends.
After successfully selling their home in 2007, they took another room to store the rest of their belonging that they didn’t use on regular bases. They took to the sea on their modern catamaran to exotic places like the Caribbean. They spent the last couple of years sailing around the world, popping back home to friends and family on a number of occasions. These trips home also included a visit to Elephant Storage in Dublin to pick up a few things and put things away.
I enjoyed meeting them every so often and finding out where they had been and where they were setting sail to next. It was clear that the new life really suited them and they were enjoying it. The final time I saw them was in August 2010 when they were packing up the last of their belonging and shipping them over to Israel from our Storage Centre. They were excited about their next venture and are looking forward to starting a new adventure in Israel where they will be settling with friends and family.
I wished them all the very best in their new start and thanked them for their custom over the last five years.
It’s sad to see one of our first customers leave as they had become part of the Elephant family.
