Ready for Stress-Free VIP Travel?

Whether you’re planning to see the USA this year or take that long-dreamed-of trip to Europe, deciding how you want to vacation is one of the very first things you’ll need to plan. If you’ll be visiting a destination that you’ve never been to before, there’s always a bit of stress involved. Where will you stay? (And will the place look in person the way it did online?) How will you get there and how will you get around once you are there? What will you see and do? Where will you eat? And what about the lines – because who wants to spend their entire vacation standing in a line with thousands of other tourists? And that’s just to start.

The good news is there is a completely stress-free way to see the world.

Welcome to the world of planned tours – where all the logistics are done for you, and all you have to do is pack and show up, ready to travel like a VIP and make lifelong memories along the way. Read more

Traveling Around the World with Santa Claus

It’s just a few days until Christmas, and for this week at least, the travel we (or at least our children) are most interested in is that voyage around the world that Santa Claus will be making the night of Christmas Eve. Of course, depending on where one lives, children will be anticipating his arrival in a variety of different ways – and in fact, will be calling him different names. Some children will even have already received their gifts, while others will need to wait a couple of more weeks. And some will be receiving their gifts from someone who isn’t Santa at all! No matter where they live though, children (and adults) all look forward to this “most wonderful time of the year” as a season of joy, hope, and giving.

So, anticipating Santa’s journey, let’s take a quick tour around the world to see how some other countries will be celebrating the season. Before we depart however, a quick little history lesson…. Read more

Why You Need Travel Insurance

Travel protection is something that I always recommend to my clients because a vacation is a very sizable investment to make, and….life happens. In my opinion, it only makes sense to do whatever you can to protect that investment. While I don’t take adding additional costs to a vacation lightly – and would never recommend anything that I did not think would benefit my clients – as I’ve said many times, it’s not always just the cost of something to consider, as the value you are getting is just (if not more) important. The value of a trip that is disrupted, and you lose tons of money as a result, is…….zero.  Read more

Vacation Souvenirs You’ll Always Treasure

Yes I bring an extra empty suitcase on vacation and this is why.

I may be what my husband calls a “souvenir junkie” – but not in the way you think. I just feel that vacation souvenirs deserve more attention than a random ‘grab-a-quick-chochki-in-the-hotel-gift-shop’ type of attention. Because once you get home and recover from your PTD (post-trip-depression, which is totally a thing), having some truly special items that provide you with treasured vacation memories is worth more than whatever you spent on them.

I think that souvenirs deserve a little thought.

Over the years, we have accumulated a variety of interesting souvenirs, both when our daughter was young and on our own, and I can truly say that I pretty much know where, if not when, we got nearly all of them. Those souvenirs are packed with precious memories, and whether they were expensive or cheap, they’re pretty priceless at this point!

So what are some of the vacation souvenirs that have become our “past vacation” treasures? Read more
