🌍 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.

🎉✨ Happy Birthday to my other half! 🎂✨

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

Here’s to the man who knows the Lightning Lane system better than his own social insurance number. 🎢

May your day be as magical as a Dole Whip on a hot day and as stress-free as a VIP tour. 👑

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.

We are writing this fun post to express our love for Santorini during a time of worry as they experience a barrage of earthquake activity.

We hope to see all things returned to normal for the Greek people who live there soon and wish safety to all. Let's hope for brighter days and the preservation of one of the most beautiful and unique sites in the world.

-----
Santorini is a unique experience and it takes some planning to visit, but it’s a must do once in your life. Here are some tips for each of the top visited spots and how to avoid some crowds while there ❤️🇬🇷

1. Oia’s Blue Domes

Best Time: Early morning (before 8 AM) is ideal for avoiding tourists.

Pro Tip: Stay overnight in Oia so you can explore before the cruise ship crowds arrive.

2. Sunset at Oia Castle

Best Time: Instead of the castle itself, go to less crowded spots like the Byzantine Castle ruins or find a private terrace at a café. I'd visit the castle AND visit a cafe 😍

Pro Tip: Visit in the off-season (April-May or late September-October) when the crowds are smaller.

3. Amoudi Bay

Best Time: Visit for lunch instead of dinner, when it’s less busy.

Pro Tip: Take the scenic walk down from Oia in the morning and enjoy the bay before the afternoon rush.

4. Red Beach or Black Sand Beach (Perissa)

Best Time: Visit in the early morning (before 10 AM) or late afternoon.

Pro Tip: Red Beach gets busier, so consider Vlychada Beach, a less-known but equally stunning alternative.

5. Infinity Pool with a Caldera View

Best Time: If staying at a luxury hotel, wake up early for a private sunrise photo before other guests arrive.

Pro Tip: If you’re not staying at a hotel with an infinity pool, ask us how we can help you book a day pass at a luxury resort with pool access.

Would you like help finding hotels or spots that offer the best infinity pool views?
