Bellingham Travel & Cruise

03/05/2025

Strolled by
to whet my appetite for London travel...
And "rolled" away
in need of making a travel plan centered on a walking tour!
Calories - oh yes! Worth it? Absolutely - colorful and fun new business with fun decor and authentic English treats at 1303 Commercial, right here in Bellingham!
I now have a British candy bar stash for clients crossing the pond too! Win...when?

Our group leader, John, may jetset about, but he always slows down to relish local cuisine. Just back from Japan, he is now packing his chopsticks for our slow foodie tour of Tuscany & Umbria this September.
Want this exclusive, small group trip on your menu? Chop, chop! We are taking reservations only until Friday the 28th.

Our accommodations for this September's small group exploration of the Tuscan & Umbrian Countryside are not of the Motel 6 variety. They will not leave the lights on for you.

An invitation to this intimate, immersive and exclusive experience is yours, but a place for you cannot be guaranteed after this week.
Don't be left to Motel 6 and McDonalds, call Robin 360-733-1270 x 102 to book today.

What could be sweeter than Parisian chocolate for Valentine's Day? Angelina's established in Paris in the early 1900s is world renowned for their hot cocoa. The spoon nearly stands up in this cup of richness.

Your rose showing her thorns
because Paris you did not do?
Your travel agent can tell you
Where else to get Angelina's too!

Whatcom Museum Lightcatcher store and a fabulous French Impressionist Paintings Show is there too!
BON appetit and adieu. (You're welcome.)

Just finished a bunch of biz taxes last night and feel almost as joyful as our favorite adventure traveler when he recently completed his Nepal climb! Well, almost.

The saddest of news today: we lost the best intern we ever had.
RIP Buddy

Like most interns (& agents), Buddy preferred company travel to desk work. He also enjoyed the office Christmas parties - where one year it was all fun and games until he had too much to drink and ended up in bed with a co-worker.

There will never be another like him. Our hearts go out to his mom, Michelle, who loved him like a son and gave him a most pawsome life.

Come help us empty some of these, so we can put candles in them!

Traveling to, or through, the UK in the future? As of January 8th, 2025, you will be required to have an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) prior to travel. Without one, you will be denied boarding, including for flights just transiting through UK airports.

The application process is simple and can be done online at www.gov.uk or by downloading the UK ETA app on your phone from the App Store or Google Play. You will need to upload or take photos of your passport and your face and have a credit card to charge the fee of (about) $13.00 USD.

You will receive a confirmation of app completion and then should receive approval in about three business day. It is suggested that you print a copy to carry with you when traveling, as a backup to the electronic approval which will be digitally attached to your passport information. ETAs are valid for two years or until the expiration of your passport, whichever comes first.

Buon Natale! Wherever the spirit moves you this holiday season, we wish you a safe and happy journey and thank you for the gift of your business this past year.

We will be out of the office from:
Tuesday, December 24th through January 1st, 2025.
See you next year!

(BTW - "Buon Natale," if you didn't know, means Merry Christmas in Italian. We are hoping your holiday table includes talk about joining our group to explore Tuscany and Umbria in September. Just a suggestion, rather than discussing politics, right?)

Perhaps we needn't travel further than the Tulalip Casino for the holidays!
