We spend a lot of time talking about family travel, but what about Mom and Dad?

Mom and Dad need a break too! You deserve to spend some time together without the kids!

One of our favorite trips without the kids? Disney! 🤫 Just don't tell the kids 😜

It's hard to drink around the world with the kids in tow, right? 🍹

Disney without the kids allows you to do more of the things that kids may find boring, or ride the rides the kids aren't tall enough for yet. It also allows for you to slow down and take things in a little more than when trying to avoid meltdowns.

If you are interested in planning a Disney trip for just Mom and Dad, contact us today!

What does it mean when we say Out of the Suitcase Travel specializes in family travel?

We have experience travel with children and families ourselves, and train in destinations that are family friendly.

We strive to provide you with the expertise to plan family vacations, without the stress or added time to your already busy schedule. Our travel specialist can plan, and handle any issues that come up prior to or during your trip, or any special requests for your trip.

Oh, and just because we specialize in travel for the whole family, doesn't mean we don't have options for just mom and dad to getaway too. The last Wednesday of every month we will highlight travel for a romantic getaway for mom and dad.

If you're ready to create family memories but don't have the time or want to take on the stress of planning a vacation, contact us and have a travel specialist do the planning for you!

We often hear things like:

💬Travel agents are still a thing?
💬But I can just book online myself.
💬Isn't working with a travel agent expensive?
💬I like to plan my own vacation.

So why would you work with a travel specialist?

🧳Yes! We are still a thing. And we're the travel experts that can provide you with support when planning a vacation.
🧳You can book online yourself, but then when you need to speak with your travel supplier and the wait times are hours long, you're stuck waiting on hold. With a travel specialist supporting you, we wait on hold so you don't have to!
🧳Working with travel specialists is not expensive. We offer free consultations, and our planning fees are kept low so that you have more money for your vacation!
🧳Working with a travel specialist means you can be as involved as much or as little as you want. We can book a specific hotel, resort, or destination if you provide the details. Or we can handle the planning process based on the information you provide us.
🧳Booking any hotel you are paying a fee for a travel agent, that the hotel keeps when you book direct. Using a travel specialist helps keep your money with small, local businesses.
🧳A travel specialist is available to you from booking to arriving home after your trip. We handle any issues that arise on your vacation, from canceled flights to missing bookings. We're here to reduce the stress of traveling not just the planning, but while you are traveling, as well.
🧳 And so many more reasons! Check out our Facebook lives on the second Tuesday of every month for more information.
