Cruising is one of my families favorite ways to vacation.  There is a little something for everyone and our whole family truly enjoys their vacation.  Some people wonder what makes cruise vacations so appealing.  Below are my top 10 reasons you should take a cruise vacation.

Once you’ve booked your vacation, it’s time to start planning! OF course you have access to one of our amazing travel professionals. To compliment their amazing work, one of my favorite travel resources is still an old fashioned travel guide! What makes a travel guide good? There are several types of travel guides available for almost any destination on earth! 

​No matter where you’re going on your next vacation, souvenir options are endless! Knick knacks, toys, T-shirt’s, post cards, you name it! When it comes to buying souvenirs, my family has most probably bought it (including a hat-umbrella my daughter had to have Inn Alaska...). The real question is- what are you going to do with them when you get home? 

​Getting through the travel to your destination can make for a long day. Having everything you need ready to go in your carry-on can make it a lot easier! Next time you travel, pack a few of our travel favorites!

We've all been there. You are getting ready for the awesome trip and then "doh!" something went wrong. Often times its the simplest of mistakes or not understanding exactly what you purchased. Maybe its just rushing out the door that led you to leaving that one special item behind. Well, here are some of the top mistakes we have seen and how we think you can help avoid them in the future!

Early entry into the Disney parks isn’t new, but they keep adding new experiences to their line up! In October my family experienced the latest early entry offering at Disney Hollywood Studios – Toy Story Land. Early entry starts at 7:30, but they ask that you arrive early to go through the process of checking you into the park. To enter, you need a park ticket as well as the early entry purchase. 

When people think of Vermont, they typically picture visiting in winter for the lure of the amazing ski resorts or during fall foliage to view the beauty of autumn’s changing colors.  But the Spring and Summer months offer so much for families to see and do in Vermont!  We recently traveled to Vermont during the summertime to visited family in Brownsville for a simplistic vacation. We also had our first ever RV experience!  Vermont we will definitely repeat.  The RV experience we have decided is a true “once in a lifetime” for us!  ​

I recently had the opportunity to participate in Travel Weekly's Global Travel Marketplace event. This was an amazing opportunity to meet with more than 50 travel suppliers from around the world. From Alaska to Antarctica, Russia to Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Israel... You name it, we met and discussed how destinations and providers would be great fits for our clients.
