Adventure Therapy Travel- Pam Raschella

Fall in Europe is the absolute best but what you need is someone else to stress about the details and the logistics of the trip. Hand over the Pinterest board and all of your ideas, and let me turn them into an actual itinerary and a trip so you can sit back and dream about how that Limoncello Spritz will taste after the summer crowds have left.

Pesky summer travel hiccups + what to do about them ➡️ Seat Swap Surprises So, you’ve checked in online and picked your seats, but then you get to the airport and... surprise! They’ve changed. What to Do: Head straight to the gate desk (not the ticketing counter). Gate agents are your best friends here—they can help fix the seating situation or find someone willing to switch seats. Lost or Delayed Luggage ➡️ Your bags are MIA What to do: Find the airline’s baggage desk near the baggage claim area and file a claim before you leave the airport. If you can’t locate the desk, call the airline ASAP to report your missing luggage. Hang on to those receipts for any essentials you need to buy—just keep it reasonable (no designer splurges, unfortunately). Then, when you’re back, file a claim with your travel insurance, one of the many reasons to have travel insurance. ➡️ Delayed and cancelled flights What to do: Check the Department of Transportation (DOT) Dashboard: If the delay is within the airline’s control, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Airline Customer Service Dashboard will show you what each airline should do to make it up to you. ➡️ Not Loving Your Hotel Room Your room’s not up to par? Here’s how to get it sorted What to do: Ask for the manager. Call from your room or go to the front desk and ask to speak to a manager. Be specific about the issues and honest about what resolution you’re seeking. ➡️ Rental Car Issues What to do: If your rental car isn’t what you expected, contact the rental company’s customer service. They might be able to upgrade or switch your vehicle. Always check the car for damage before driving off the lot and report any issues immediately. I/we hope you don't encounter any of these hiccups this summer but in case you do, use this as your quickstart guide to problem-solving. Enjoy these blissful summer days! If you are working with a Travel Advisor, like myself, we can h

Nothing makes me think YIKES more than seeing online forums and messages of people who’s vacations were ruined because they got to their resort or hotel and it was not as expected. Now, some of you may not necessarily care too much about where you lay your head at night, you’re there to explore and enjoy the destination. But for some of you, the resort or hotel experience can absolutely make or break your whole trip. 👉 My advice? Don’t go off of the photos online, and outdated reviews you’re hoping still reflect the current situation. I love that I can give my clients dynamic knowledge of resorts and hotels, either by visiting myself, or by tapping into my network of trusted people on the ground. They get scoop so they don’t end up at a place with shabby rooms, stiff mattresses, and a pool that’s closed for maintenance.

Booking an all-inclusive package online is so easy, I’ll just do it myself.” But is it? Here’s why my clients always call me to book their trips to resorts in the Caribbean!  Not all all-inclusive vacation packages are created equally. Accommodations, amenities, and even dining options are different from resort to resort. Your time and your vacation are precious, and it can become a full-time job sifting through the internet trying to figure out if a resort is right for you and your family. This is why my clients love having me on speed dial for their family getaways. I know their preferences and the types of getaways they enjoy, and I cut through all of the travel overwhelm with suggestions that I know will meet their standards. They never have to settle for subpar dining options, poor service, and rooms with a less-than-desirable view — and you don’t either! Have questions about travel planning? Send me a DM.
