TRAVEL TUESDAY PSA!!

Less is More!

I started this page not too long ago.
I was helping those out who aren't so much Disney and Universal fans- but more world travel.

Time to make it simple for me and everyone and have one "go to" for all your travel wants!

Let's be honest, I can make anywhere you go "Magical"

So please make sure you're still following/liking me on my simplified page Jill Lanyon - Hi Ho Vacations Travel Planner. AKA

Creating Magic wherever you go!

I'll still be covering what this page offered (Nat Geo, River Cruises & Adventures by Disney and more) and will have this page "active" for a little bit - but won't be posting on it.

Fun fact about yours truly.

My mother came over on the Queen Mary 🇬🇧 mentioned below and went through immigration in NYC at Ellis Island 🗽.

She was a WWII baby.

Her father met, fell in love and married my British grandmother and had my mom 😊

This is on my bucket list for the obvious reason!

One of the few reasons why my oldest daughter has the name she does!!

Amid the Art Deco style and grand splendor of hotel lies another, more sinister force that begs to be found — if you dare, that is.

10/27/2023

Did you know you can view the Swiss Alps from the sky?

Hang Gliding in Interlaken, Switzerland is on my clients itinerary this next week!

"For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your head turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return" Leonardo da Vinci

Just a few things you can do while on a Rhine River cruise that ends or starts in Switzerland!!

10/20/2023

How do you communicate while abroad?

I highly suggest WhatsApp.

Most countries besides the US, use this for their daily correspondence. Did you know that?!

What is it you ask?

WhatsApp from Meta is a 🆓 messaging and video calling app. It’s used by over 2B people in more than 180 countries. It’s simple, reliable, and private, so you can easily keep in touch with your friends and family. WhatsApp works across mobile and desktop even on slow connections, with no subscription fees!

Private messaging across the world

Your personal messages and calls to friends and family are end-to-end encrypted. No one outside of your chats, not even WhatsApp, can read or listen to them.

Simple and secure connections, right away

All you need is your phone 📱 number, no user names or logins. You can quickly view your contacts who are on WhatsApp and start messaging.

I’ve set up a group for my River Cruise clients so they can communicate easily with each other as many will be doing different excursions & not together.

They can also share pictures very easily and securely with each other or family back here int the states!

Friday Findings!

10/18/2023

I can't wait for my group to sail the Southbound Romantic Rhine cruise next week- in their panoramic suites!!
