Everyone is rehashing last year. Like 2020 is a year I want to keep in my memory bank. The funny thing to me is that everything that was going on with Covid19 was pushed in our faces every morning and evening on the news. You could not escape hearing about it! So why is there such a big need to go over it all, like we had forgotten about it? In my mind there [...]
What will travel look like when we can freely travel again? For now, this seems to be the million dollar question. WHAT will the CDC put in place to allow people to travel freely and safely? I have to admit, I started writing this blog right after the first of January. Then the vaccine started becoming available, so I waited. And then President Biden was inaugurated, so I waited. As of today, February [...]
"On September 22, 2020, CLIA (Cruise Lines International Association) and its oceangoing cruise line members announced their adoption of a strong set of health protocols that represent core elements for returning to service in the Americas by the end of the year, pending support and approval of regulators and destinations.

It is safe to say that Travel Insurance is not a 'one size fits all' need. What works for one kind of traveler, may not work for another traveler. One big decision facing travelers right now is should I buy a policy with a 'cancel for any reason' option.

I decided to share some of the really fun things [...]

A post I read on social media: “I helped a buddy find a Vacation Deal the other day. He comes back liking the price but wants a breakdown of each item. I know what he is getting at. He wants to know how much are the transfers, sightseeing, etc… What?!! Really?!! I just created a master chef travel itinerary for you bud! So, I showed him the pic below and asked him ‘When you [...]
This is more of a letter to my clients than a blog. I hope it all makes sense, and that you all enjoy it. Starting a business is risky - not everyone wants what you have. The people that support you realize you are putting your heart and soul into every vacation you present to them. Yes, I wear my travel heart on my sleeve. I did not start this business because I thought [...]
Amidst riots and protests, we did get to experience some of what Barcelona has to offer. Our bucketlist still has Barcelona on it. It would be a great city to explore freely without worry.
