A cultural and educational trip awaits our clients as they spend ten days in Eastern Europe.

By the time these clients hired EMP, they had already selected their destinations and booked their flights and hotels, but they needed help with the planning. EMP organized the itinerary, suggested activities, reserved restaurants and shows, and hired tour guides in their destinations. One of the perks of working with EMP is that your itinerary will be easily accessible through an app where all of your information and documents are stored and organized in one place. These clients were especially interested in Jewish History and culture so EMP located and vetted guides who specialize in that in each area. Some of the highlights of their trip include a visit to three countries in one day to explore the Jewish heritage of that area, a ballet at the Prague State Opera, a soak in the thermal baths of Budapest, and a visit to the Schonbrunn Palace, which is considered the Versailles of Vienna!

Can’t wait for these clients to experience the culture and history of Eastern Europe!

Our clients are currently having the trip of a lifetime exploring four countries, three territories, and 10 cities in Asia to celebrate their 10th anniversary.

The clients approached me with their ambitious plans three weeks before they were set to leave. It was a scramble to get it done but we planned an amazing trip for them to Hong Kong, Macau, Seoul, the DMZ, Beijing, Terracotta Army, Bangkok, Koh Samui, Chiang Mai, Kyoto, Osaka, Hakone and Tokyo! They asked for a super packed itinerary to make sure they could see as much as possible. Some of the highlights include spending a day with elephants, exploring a gorgeous National Park, experiencing a traditional tea ceremony, watching a geisha performance, visiting a sumo wrestling practice and meeting the athletes, and a photoshoot in traditional Chinese dress. The client told me they hadn’t done a photo shoot since their wedding 10 years ago!

With all that they’re doing, I told them they’ll need a vacation after this trip 😂

An exciting adventure awaits our clients this summer on a family trip to Iceland to celebrate their daughter’s graduation!

When the clients first approached EMP, we discussed a road trip around Ring Road. But when I suggested a small luxury cruise with less than 300 passengers, they were intrigued. By booking a cruise, they’re able to see the same sites and not have to move hotel rooms every night! It’s a win-win for the family so they get more time to relax instead of driving.

By booking a smaller cruise, they’re able to go beyond the tourist hotspots and explore narrow fjords regular cruise ships can’t sail to, islands where puffins outnumber people, and visit the spectacular Pingvellir National Park.

Can’t wait for these clients to enjoy the beauty of Iceland!

My latest article for Insider about why I think parents should buy seats for their kids under 2 once they’re moving around a lot.

A mom whose daughter is young enough to fly for free as a lap child prefers to pay for a seat because it's safer and more comfortable for everyone.
