Vacations To Remember

“I am the last person on earth who would use a travel advisor. Well, I was.

But I was not alone. In an era brimming with self-serve websites and quick-to-book apps, the allure of organizing one's travel seems both convenient and cost-effective. It even adds a sense of adventure to our Instagram feeds. Imagine boasting, ‘Look at this unique spot I discovered all by myself in a foreign land where the language is alien to me!’

However, as thrilling as DIY projects can be, they often fall short of expectations. When we forgo the expertise of professionals, overconfidence can eclipse our desired outcomes.” - Erik Dominguez

Travel enthusiasts! 🌍

Have you noticed a trend? Many clients are holding off on booking their 2025 vacations due to election-year uncertainty. While understandable, history tells a different story. Every election cycle, we see this hesitation, but prices inevitably rise.

As seasoned travel experts, we recommend securing your dream getaway now. Enjoy the best rates and availability by booking early and adding cancel-for-any-reason travel insurance. This provides peace of mind while protecting your investment.

Spring break is already heating up, and popular destinations like Italy (with its upcoming Catholic jubilee) and the Caribbean are in high demand. Don’t miss out on incredible deals!

We understand financial concerns, but with low deposits and flexible payment plans, planning ahead can be stress-free. Let us help you create unforgettable memories! ✈️

Card? Book? Know the difference? The U.S. passport book is the only document approved for international AIR travel. The passport card can be used at U.S. land and sea border crossings and as a Real ID for domestic travel. You can apply for both the book and card on the same passport application but never ever forget your passport BOOK when traveling by air! ✈️

Our office will be closed on Thursday and Friday in observance of the holiday, but due to Hurricane Beryl, we will be closely monitoring emails and working with clients affected by the storm. 🌀 If you are traveling to the Caribbean or Mexico in the next two weeks, you should have already gotten an email from your travel advisor, so please be on the lookout for that!

Wishing everyone a safe and happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸

Here’s what it means for you as a traveler:

Massive Celebrations: The center of the festivities will be Vatican City and Rome, with special masses, prayers, and events led by the Pope. Expect a vibrant atmosphere!

Spiritual Significance: For many Catholics, it’s a pilgrimage of a lifetime. They travel for spiritual reflection and to walk in the footsteps of their faith.

Important to Consider:

Big Crowds: Millions of pilgrims are expected, so popular tourist spots will be packed. Be prepared for longer lines and higher accommodation rates.

Unique Experience: If you’re open to crowds, it can be a truly special experience to witness this global gathering of faith.
