Now that travel is in full swing again, I thought it would be a great time to share some packing and travel tips. When I am preparing document packets for my clients, I always include a 'Know Before You Go' information sheet. The information on my cheat sheet contains tips and tricks from fellow Travel Advisors as well as things I have learned over my years of traveling. I hope you find this information [...]
Why it is important to offer you the full package? A lot of times, travelers may just want us to book a hotel. Or flights. Maybe a rental car or other ground transportation. When these requests come across our desks, we wonder, what about the other components? What about the complete vacation? Why did they book their flights separate from everything else? Did they find great airfare and thought "surely I can find [...]

Some countries are dropping their pre-arrival COVID testing if you are fully vaccinated. For some you still need to quarantine unless you present your negative PCR test. Still others are outside the box and are now requiring proof of medical insurance in case you get COVID while in their country. And all [...]
I saw a great meme on Facebook the other day, posted and shared by several of my Travel Advisor friends. “Client: I am trying to book a last minute trip after the pandemic. Any good deals? Travel Advisor: Remember back in April when you were trying to find toilet paper? It’s kinda like that.” While I am super happy that the world is opening up and the possibilities for more places [...]

Part 2 in our series of traveling closer to home. If you live in Arizona, California is right next door. For road trips close to home, it cannot get any more convenient or exciting. There are lots of amazing beaches, national parks and monuments and beautiful scenic drives for you to enjoy. Growing up in Southern California, I will say I have done 99% of these drives. So pack up the kids, grab some [...]
