Today is Wellness Wednesday. Many people have told me they want to experience a river cruise, but want to wait until their older since they're not active. I'm here to tell you this is so not true. River Cruises can be very active and a healthy way to see many new destinations while biking, hiking, walking, doing yoga and even playing sports like pickleball or golfing in ports when you are sailing wtih the right river cruise line. When we discuss your next vacation, I take the time to find the product that is best for YOU, not just best at advertising the most that you may have heard of. There are so many products, let me help you find the perfect fit. Call me for your next adventure so we can cutomize your itinerary.

Cruising into 2024 in suite style aboard the beautiful Crystal Serenity. Huge cabin with a whirlpool bath tub, walk in closet, large veranda and a butler that spoiled me with a hot pot of coffee every morning, wine at sunset on the veranda and clean and pressed clothes before I headed home. Amazing nobu restaurant one of 6 dining rooms onboard and no extra charges. Delicious cocktails by their mixologist also included and fun pickleball courts and fitness center to work it all off. Highly recommend cruising in January to relax after the holidays and start the new year off with a fun adventure.. call me to get a wonderful crystal cruise on your calendar.

Glad I could help. Without an advisor you're on you're own. While others wait in line for hours you could be on the next flight home already. Pack your patience everybody.

Since it's National Travel Advisor appreciation week, I'm going to do a post each day this week with travel advice.
MAKING TRAVEL PLANS MONDAY...

The pandemic has taught us that we love to travel and missed that greatly. A lot of travelers have had this revelation and therefore, here is our advice when to make plans:

2 years out : Destinations for time-specific events such as The Grand Prix in Monaco, the British Open, cherry blossoms in Japan and any other special event.

1 year out : safaris, cruises, holiday travel, multi-generational trips so everybody gets their calendars synched.

6 Months out: beach and ski destinations because there are many resorts and properties to choose from for this they don't need quite as much advance booking. But if you're wanting a specific resort, book sooner.

3 Months Out: Airplane tickets to see family or friends. The idea of waiting until closer to travel time for deals is over. Space if limited on the flights due to more people traveling and not as many flights as pre pandemic. The closer you wait to you travel date, there will be less availability which means higher fares generally or even no space at all.

Schedule an appointment with me now to get your travel plans for the year on your calendar. I'll advise you the best time of year to travel to your destinations on your list.

Don't you want to be richer in 2022? It's time to book your travel, the world is waiting and I'm here to help you see it.

Another amazing lunch with a view in between arenal and Guanacaste. With only 7 bungalows, very unique and a Michelin chef! A true gem.

09/29/2021

So much to see today, all 3 Nyara properties, one for families, one for just adults and one that is the most beautiful glamping tents with plunge pools, not the camping I grew up with.

09/28/2021

I almost don't want to share this hidden gem with you because it only has 31 suites and I don't want the secret out. Just beautiful, opened in 2019 . Rooms are incredible with plunge pools, glass showers with views of the tropical forest, beautiful pool area with pool bar and delicious food of course. Love the extra perks only my agency can add. Perfect couples escape after hiking the volcano trail.

09/27/2021

Wonderful hike to 3 waterfalls on property this morning followed by relaxing in the hot tub all before a delicious lunch.

09/27/2021

On to the cloud forest just 90 minutes from San Jose and completely different. Love staying once again at the newly updated El silencio lodge and spa. With just 20 rooms and 3 waterfalls on their massive property, there is plenty to see and do while staying safe. They now have ebikes and mountain bikes too. Definetly worth 2 to 3 night stay.

09/26/2021

Marriott Hacienda Belen is the perfect start to a week in Costa Rica. Love the coffee with a beautiful view and updated decor.

Travel Tip Tuesday..

Yes you can still go to Italy. Though things changed slightly yesterday, if you are vaccinated here is what is required:
- Fill out a digital Passenger Locator form
- Present your certificate of vaccination
- take a molecular or antigen test 72 hours prior to arrival.

If you're not vaccinated, you still can go, just will need to quarantine for 5 days and get tested again. A private home with wine in Tuscany sounds like a good way to be quarantined to me.

I also want to remind everybody to check their passports and get them renewed. Even though you may not want to travel right now, it takes much longer to get them renewed or even get new ones. I I recommend checking that off your list now so when you're ready to travel again you won't have to worry about it getting it back in time.

I'm here for you to navigate the complicated restrictions, to make it uncomplicated so you can still do what you and I love...travel! I look forward to planning your next vacation.

TRAVEL TIP TUESDAY:

Are you fully vaccinated? Then it's time to travel! Question, what European country is the first to welcome back full vaccinated US travelers? No googling.

Now here is my tip for Tuesday....
VACCINATION CARDS
After your initial vaccination, you’ll be given a card indicating what COVID-19 vaccine you’ve received and the date and location of each dose. Keep your vaccination card in a safe place in case you need it for future use. Consider taking a picture and/or scan of your vaccination card as a backup copy. And, DON’T laminate your card. The card may be appended for updates and/or future doses.

Call me today to get your trip planned. 704-987-3377
