After the loss of Pope Francis today I have such a strong calling to Rome this year. It's an incredible time of change and mourning.
With the Jubilee underway and recent events at the Vatican, many are finding themselves drawn to the Eternal City—whether for pilgrimage, reflection, or simply to be present during this historic time.
So many are asking us if it could still work. It’s not too late to plan a last-minute or fall trip. We’re still helping travelers make it happen—with some smart strategies to make your journey smoother.
One of our top tips? Consider staying outside the city. Towns like Orvieto, Frascati, or even Florence offer:
A quieter, more restful pace
Better availability and value for lodging
A taste of authentic local life
Easy access to Rome by Italy’s excellent train network
Whether you’re drawn by faith, history, or something harder to name—Italy welcomes you. And we’d love to help you get there.
DM us or use the link in bio to start planning. We may find out way there together.

🍀It's your lucky day as we share 5 tips our clients here about when we book St. Patrick's day trips to Ireland!
1️⃣ Weather: Pack for all seasons! ☔️ Ireland in March is chilly, rainy, and windy. Bring layers, a waterproof jacket, and sturdy shoes. Pro tip: pack a windproof umbrella (or just embrace the rain like a local!).
2️⃣ Pubs: 🍻 Book your pub spot early! Pubs in Dublin, Galway, and Cork get packed. Many require reservations for live music or traditional Irish food. Arrive early to snag the best seats!
3️⃣ Accommodation: 🏨 Secure your stay ASAP! Hotels fill up fast for St. Patrick’s Day. Consider staying outside major cities for better availability and rates.
4️⃣Superstitions: 🍀 Wear green for good luck! Forgot your green? Locals might pin a shamrock on you. Avoid orange—it’s tied to Protestant traditions and can be seen as disrespectful.
5️⃣ Flights: ✈️ Book early and arrive a few days before March 17th. Flights get expensive and sell out quickly. Arriving early lets you explore and avoid the last-minute rush.
Ready to experience the magic of the Emerald Isle? 🇮🇪✨ Share this with your travel squad and let's start planning!
🍀 Sláinte! 🍻

🍀🇮🇪🍀Did you know that St Patrick's Day is quite the experience at Disney Springs at Walt Disney World Resort?

A family friendly Irish celebration in a most magical setting!

The Odyssey of the Seas with Royal Caribbean is moving from Cape Liberty Port in NJ to be stationed in Europe this summer. Some really great itineraries too.
She is smaller than some of the other ships as she belongs to the Quantum Ultra class.
We really loved sailing this ship and she's become a little bit of a favourite out of Royal's fleet (I hope the other ships can't hear me 👀)
There is a more intimate feel than an Oasis class shio, a very fun sports bar area with bumper cars and pickle ball courts, fantastic dining options and one of the best shows we have seen at sea.
If you are looking for a quiet vacation with your kids in Europe this ship is a very strong contender.
And did you know that Royal Caribbean uses stage lifts made right here in Grimsby, Ontario. Our little town is a little bit more Royal I guess 😂
Have you considered the Quantum class or Quantum Ultra class with Royal Caribbean yet? That 15 night Portugal/Spain itinerary really looks special too!

🌍 What to ask Your Travel Agent for Your All-Inclusive Vacation 🌴
Planning an all-inclusive getaway?
The right travel agent can make all the difference! Here’s how to work with them to come up with your dream vacation:
Pause!: Check Their Expertise
Look for agents who specialize in family vacations and have experience. They’ll know the best resorts, hidden gems, and who to call when your needs get specific for your stay. Experience is gold!
Ask About Their Connections:
Agents with strong relationships with resorts and tour operators often have access to exclusive information, and know the resort sales team well. Training is so important so ask them how they train for your destination preferences.
Communication is Key:
Your agent should be responsive within 24 hrs on simple questions, attentive to your needs within their business hours, and willing to answer all of your questions. They should share with you the best way to reach them (for us it is phone and email) and let you know when a request may take a little longer.
Just like everything else in life, fast answers are not better than quality ones, so detailed questions with an experienced hand should be taken seriously.
A great travel agent takes the stress out of planning and ensures you have an unforgettable experience.

Maybe we are the right partner to make it happen for you! ✈️ Our website has an option to book a phone consultation. We'd love to get to know you better and see if we are a good fit!

Another year older, but let’s be real—you’re still just a big kid with dreams of churros, fireworks, and safari hats from Animal Kingdom

Christmas vacation tip!
The absolute best time to book your Christmas holidays is in late winter. This is when rooms are beginning to open across the world.
Tell your agent ASAP to watch over your preferred destination and get ready to book with a tonne of inventory.
High inventory and low demand usually results in better pricing or more available room categories for those luxe suites or value rooms/staterooms. A perfect strategy for any vacation preference.

EPIC universe (and who are we kidding SUPER MARIO HIMSELF) is so close to opening now.
The 4th park in a line up of fun parks to visit will host Classic Monsters, How to Train Your Dragon, and Harry Potter experiences in addition to Super Mario and so much more!
Looks like fireworks may be added to the experience too!!!
It's time for a truly EPIC experience at Universal Orlando.

🌍 Hot take from your favourite travel agent duo!
FOMO is The Silent Barrier to True Experiential Travel 😳
In the age of social media, the fear of missing out (FOMO) has become a common sentiment for many travelers.
It's so easy to scroll through your socials, witnessing breathtaking views and luxurious experiences, and suddenly, our own travel plans seem lacking.
But here's the thing—true *experiential* travel is about *immersion*, not *comparison*. Holy Cannoli this is the absolute truth.
When we focus too much on what others are doing, we risk losing sight of the very essence of travel: learning from new cultures, forging authentic connections, and stepping outside of our comfort zones.
FOMO creates a race to check off the latest “trending” spots rather than savoring the moments that truly enrich our journey.
Next time you travel, let go of the pressure to follow a prescribed route or live up to someone else's adventure. Let curiosity guide you, rather than the pull of a well-curated feed. Who needs that pressure are we right?
Reach out to us and let us help you plan a truly unique and tailored adventure instead.

Family is everything.
Welcome to Travelling with the Finocchis at Pure Magic Vacations!
Our journey with Pure Magic Vacations started years ago. At the time we were helping families in our lives reconnect and build unique Disney vacations for their own families as a favour. We've both travelled to many places (and often!), around the world, so our friends and family would reach out to us for help with their trips. More than that, we love looking beyond how WE preferred to travel and learn all about how other families see the world!
We have always preferred to use a travel agent when we travelled. When we approached Pure Magic to help us with our own vacation, after rave reviews from good friends, we connected with the owner and the rest is pure magic history!
We hope to help your family connect together through the love of a good day at the beach, watching sunsets together while cruising on the high seas, and/or of course, while experiencing the adventure of a lifetime at a Disney destination, or Universal theme park! Family is our life’s main priority. So when you work with us, we’ll always have that in the back of our mind. What does your child like to eat? Do they have food allergies? Are they shy, but wanting to make friends on vacation? Do mum and dad need privacy, or a balcony to sit on while their child naps? What about grandma and grandpa who have dreamed of re-visiting those moments that they had with their kids again with their beloved grandchildren?
Shared experiences, moments, and memories are the focus when you “travel” with us!
For Disney vacations, we'll manage the process for you. Help with dining reservations, and fast pass options. We’ll also put you at ease, and remind you that planning your vacation with Disney, on your favourite ship, or your favourite island, doesn’t have to be stressful or anxious. We’ve already done the research. We’ve done the work. We’ll help guide you to where you want to be in each and every experience you plan with us.
We'll use our thorough knowledge to help pick the resort that is just right for each family member, and focus on resorts that we know will offer experiences for your family that work with your current lifestyle whenever we can.
Oh, and did we mention? We don't charge fees for these unique services. Nope. That's not how we roll.
Smiles, great stories about your experiences, and a shared love of family is what we hope to bring to your vacation memories. It's time to look at a family vacation with new eyes. That a family vacation should be as unique as your own family. That’s how we hope that we can help!
We can't wait for your family to "travel" with ours. When you come back, we hope that you can share how unique your experience was and see the same places through new eyes.
