I’m concerned something happens between now and then and I can’t go. How can I protect my vacation?

So you know you could lose your travel investment if you need to cancel – good for you!

It’s true. You may have a very pretty penny at risk if something comes up. Having a travel advisor helps you navigate these changes removing a lot of the aggravation involved.

I can also take it one step further – and this is what I recommend for every client’s peace of mind - by explaining what trip insurance options are open to you.

For instance, Luxury Travel Authority offers full protection that lets you cancel for any reason—not just a list of approved causes.

to help ease your travels this year - luggage.

Our family has never traveled a long distance with only a carry-on, yet I'm recommending this to all my clients.

Considering the current travel conditions, if there is any way each member of your traveling group can have their own carry-on, you'll eliminate the huge risk of losing your bags after checking them.

If you must take checked luggage consider mixing up the contents of each bag - pack a little of everyone's items.

That way if one bag gets to your destination, everyone will have clothes and toiletries until (hopefully) the rest turn up. Or use a luggage shipping service we recommend.

It Doesn’t Get Dark in St. Petersburg?

Between the months of May through July, the sky doesn’t get dark in St. Petersburg — at all!

This fascinating phenomenon is known as “White Nights”. Thanks to its high latitude location (and close proximity to the Article Circle) as one of the northernmost cities in the world, the sun does not set below the horizon enough for the sky to fully darken.

This is a truly fascinating phenomenon to experience — imagine going out at night and returning from late-night dinners or nightclub ventures with it still being bright out.

You can expect to see almost 24 hours of sunlight, and even when the sun shortly sets, the sky doesn’t get very dark.

Explore this spectacular city for yourself as you plan your trip to Russia and take advantage of the warmer weather by going museum hopping, shopping, dining, or having a picnic in one of the beautiful evergreen gardens the city is known for.

Do I have to pay you upfront for my vacation?

No! Our suppliers set deposit requirements. Deposit rates vary based on the resort or package you select, and the time you travel.

A deposit is made on your behalf directly with the resort or tour operator. This way, you are assured that your deposit is applied directly to your vacation at the time of booking.

Most vacation packages require that you pay the balance 45 days prior to your arrival date. And just as with the deposit, this final payment is made directly to the supplier.

What time do we recommend you travel?

The rule of thumb is to travel in the morning to avoid delays AND to be able to take another flight and still make your destination if you can't fly on your original flight.

It's also more convenient to arrive at your destination during daylight, to take advantage of some activities once you've landed.

I have had clients complain that when they've booked elsewhere (like with an online booking site), they find out too late that they don't arrive at their destination until late and the entire first day is wasted.

Though this may be unavoidable with some destinations, it's a crucial element to starting your vacation off on the right foot.

The Dominican Republic is the Breadbasket of the Caribbean due to the island’s rich soil.

Combined with a tropical climate, these features equip the country to produce large quantities of grain or wheat.

Another name for the Dominican Republic is ‘Endless Summer’ because of its warm and sunny weather for most of the year.

What Does A Travel Advisor Do?

In a world of Google and online booking platforms, you might be wondering “What do travel advisors do anyway”, this is by no means a full list, but let me give you some insight.

I don’t just book travel.

I curate travel based on the destination you want to visit, the things you want to see, and your overall travel preferences.

Planning your travel is very personal and I add a personal touch. Instead of booking that vacation package online that you “think” might be good for you, we talk it through to make sure I’m curating a vacation that’s perfect for you.

I bring my experience to the table.

Online forums and Google reviews can be notoriously skewed, but when we work together on your vacation you’re getting vetted information.

Once you've found your dream hotel, always read the fine print.

From booking fees to daily hotel resort fees, cancellation fees, and several other hidden costs, you can end up paying more than you bargained for.

Unfortunately, hotels specifically include hidden resort fees to confuse consumers and distort the true price of the accommodation.

Often they're called facility fees or resort fees, make sure you read the fine print and ask questions before you book.

Can you work within my budget?

As part of my exclusive + easy pre-trip information-gathering process, we’ll speak openly about your budget, needs, and desires.

Because of this, you’ll never need to worry about spending more than you want to, paying hidden fees, or if you’re getting the best value for your money – You are!

And, if the trip of your dreams seems out of reach, ask about options. You might be surprised by what is possible like suppliers not requiring full payment in the short term.

Instead, you may be able to purchase through monthly installments.

As an advisor, I can often offer you these alternatives that you can’t get directly through airlines, hotels, and online travel companies.

Is the destination I’m traveling to safe?

I say this often, yet it’s the truth.
It depends.

On things like your personal risk tolerance level and your personal travel style.

When we’re discussing destination options, do research them on the U.S. State Department’s website so you can gauge whether or not you’d feel safe traveling there.

Only you can decide.

Thinking of heading to the Caribbean?
Maybe you should consider going outside of hurricane season.

June through November is when hurricane season starts and ends, however, peak season is from August to September. ⛈

Also did you know that you may be able to get "hurricane protection" included in your trip?

If a storm affects your travel, just reschedule without an increase in cost. ​​​​​​​​
