Here I Go Again Travel with Leigh Ann Nicholson

04/02/2024

Hey there and happy Sunday! As people get ready to start traveling this year (if you haven't started already) I thought this was a really good and very short article to help as you prepare to head out wherever your feet take you- and hopefully you'll be letting me plan your trips for you!! I'm ready when you are!

Help ensure your checked luggage gets to where it needs to go during your next flight by properly labeling it and attaching an eye-catching luggage tag with the right information included.

There are a lot of ways I can help you, take the pressure off and let you enjoy yourself!

I just updated my "about" info with this following, and my new website is upcoming but until then please follow me here and on Instagram!

Hey everybody! I have some great news! I have a new travel agency – it’s actually mine, for all intents and purposes. I have decided to call it Here I Go Again Travel. Fun name, right? Hopefully a LOT of you will be participating in going again and again and again!!

I think too many people have some mistaken assumptions about travel agents and I want to make sure that I clear some things up straight out of the gate:

Using a travel agent is FREE TO YOU! Cruise lines and tour companies – especially ones like Disney and Universal – know that much of their business comes from travel agents and therefore they work closely with people just like me to ensure that you have a wonderful vacation! So why use me to book your vacation? I have the answer to that next!

Need to make a change, or add something to your vacation package? You have to call and sit and wait to speak to someone, and then it’s someone new every time, and you have to explain your whole story and situation over and over? Guess what? When you work with me, I will sit on the phone and wait – not you! And you don’t have to tell your story repeatedly, because I already know it!

If you have a rewards account with any cruise line or hotel chain, all of your deals you receive in email or snail mail are attached to that rewards number. You can use that rewards number with me, when I make a reservation for you and get all of those things you were promised by that vendor!

Lastly, and possibly most importantly, we have all come to enjoy supporting small businesses, especially ones owned by our friends. This is in fact, my small business. When you book that Christmas cruise, that bus tour of Italy, the river cruise up the Rhine, or that weeks’ vacation with the kids at their choice of amusement park, you are helping me to become a successful partner to that vendor and thus a successful agent! I love helping people go places and visit somewhere they haven’t been, or somewhere they love to go. I would love it if you allowed me to help you go – again and again!

There is no time like the present to plan a cruise for the holidays - ANY upcoming holiday! We have Halloween cruises, cruises over Thanksgiving for those that dont want to clean up or cook, and then cruises for Christmas AND New Years! There is a cruise line for everyone; families may want to choose Disney Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, or even a riverboat cruise up the Mississippi! Adults only (18+) should give Virgin Voyages a go, Celebrity Cruises, or what about a European river cruise to see the Christmas markets? That one is quickly headed to the top of MY list!

I know I'm ready for some holiday magic! I can book any and all of them! Have a rewards account with one of them? Great! I can add that to your reservation and you will get all the perks coming to you! Message, email, call or text! I will answer you promptly!!

Hey cruisers! How about this deal with Norwegian? Have some open dates in mind? Let me know!

26/07/2023

I have been asked this a lot, and I know many of you wonder about it. It is not unusual to think "I can do that myself." However, everything is not always about the bottom line (i.e. money); sometimes quality of service is more important! This is a very short video. Give it a go!

Why use a travel agent? It's a really good question! In this video, Nolan Burris, a speaker, author and frequent traveller gives you some very good reasons...

19/07/2023

Did you know I can help you with a cruise vacation, as well? Royal Caribbean is a lovely cruise line - I take it every year on a music themed cruise! Your Crown & Anchor membership gets you a lot of discounts on board! This Sangria Loyale, the 25th Anniversary cocktail, sounds mighty tasty!!

Would love to send you on a RCCL cruise today!!

19/07/2023

I know a lot of folks who enjoy a mid-winter warm escape! I can help you plan yours this year!

Hey friends! I know it's been a minute since I've posted but now I have a whole lot to tell you about! it's July and it's the time of year to plan for two things: The 2023 International Food & Wine Festival at Epcot and Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios!

Let's start with the one that begins July 27 and goes through November 18, you know and love it: the International Food & Wine Festival at Epcot. I like to call it the Drink Around the World Festival myself, with a few choice food items thrown in between! You will have more food choices than you can possible consume - even Joey Chesnut would have a problem eating his way through! A few of my favorites are pictured below, the Guinness Baileys Shake found at the Ireland food stand, along with the Warm Chocolate Pudding Cake. Also, Schinkennudeln from the Germany pavilion, a cheesey noodle delight with ham (and onions for those who are THAT picky!! It's delicious - just TRY IT for Pete's sake!); this is also a part of Emily's Fromage Montage! In your Food & Wine Passport collect stamps for certain cheesey items and in the end you get a delicious frozen beverage from Shimmering Sips. There you can purchase a beautiful stemless flute from CORKCICLE, in your choice of colors. Of course, I got the purple one!

In addition you have the Eat to the Beat Concert Series (see list in photos). Each day the artist has three shows (not always the same each time). You can manage to see more than one if you plan your days right, and honestly who wants to try to do this whole festival in just one day? There are many lodging options for your stay, packages, resort options, Disney Springs. I can answer all your questions! p.s there are some on site resorts offering 25% off if you meet stay requirements!

Ok now for those of you who like getting the pants scared off ya: HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS! This event is held in both Orlando and in Hollywood, CA, beginning select nights Sept 1- Nov 4. I have been to both, admittedly only once in Hollywood and it was some time ago. I am actually sad to not be in Florida this year after seeing the announcement for the Vecna's Curse Stranger Things 4 haunted house!!! I love that show. The lines will be long so I do recommend if it is in your budget to get the fast pass for the houses!

There are always special food and drinks for the event (see my 25th anniversary light up cup in the pics), but this is a special ticket and separate from day hours at the parks. HHN is only held in the Universal Studios park, but you can buy tickets to visit the amusement parks in the daytime or go to Volcano Bay and then hit the scare zone in the evening! You can get a Fear Pass as well if you intend on going multiple nights. There are plenty of on and off site hotels I can package for you.

Here's how you get hold of me: message me RIGHT HERE! Email me at [email protected] OR if you know what you want - fill out this form and I'll get back to you

Also- there are so many special cruises available for Halloween and Christmas! Let's plan your holiday trip now!

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is returning to Walt Disney World! We're sharing the dates and details about a new holiday party coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios!

Did you know we are halfway to the holidays AND are you prepared for Halloween? Lots of things happening with Walt Disney World, Disneyland AND the Disney Cruise Line! I would also bet that Au'Lani in Hawaii has special celebrations! Does anyone have a memory of celebrating a holiday at a Disney park, resort or cruise?

12/04/2023

Got some Disney news for my fellow Mouseketeers! First - there are plenty of Disney cruises to be had - not just in the Caribbean but Alaska and even Europe! And now you can use Disney Magic Band Plus on the cruise ships! No key cards to be concerned with if you dont want to!

In addition, passholders rejoice! As of April 20th, the Pirate's Pass and Sorcerers Pass are both going to be available again for purchase! Passholders get so many discounts! There are special deals for passholders whether for resorts or the cruise line, and 30% off select Star Cruiser voyages! I know I've got some Star Wars fans out there who want to experience that!

Of course, there are also special deals for those who just like to have that one special vacation! Up to 25% off stays at Disney resorts (depending on the length of your stay), plus when staying at a Disney resort, you have the option to enter the parks 30 minutes before day guests, AND the ability to stay up to two hours after regular closing time! Best news of all - complimentary overnight parking has returned for resort guests!

Also back for summer, H20 Glow at Typhoon Lagoon! So much to offer this summer!! I would love the pleasure of helping to plan your vacation to Walt Disney World or Disneyland, the Disney Cruise Line, and dont forget Au'Lani in Hawaii! That is an adventure all it's own! Please message me, email me, or put in a request at www.journeystravelinc.com choosing me as your agent!

Being on The 80s Cruise for the first time and getting to go to 2 ports I havent been to has been exciting. Puerto Vallarta was a little underwhelming but still interesting. Cabo San Lucas though- today is gonna be fun!! First look!

31/01/2023

I bet you didnt know today was National Plan For Vacation Day! Tomorrow is Feb 1 - have you put in for vaca yet? Do you know where you'd like to go? It's time to explore: explore the country, the continent, the seas, other countries! I would love to help you get there! Contact me with your idea! I work on your schedule - no office hours here!

31/01/2023

I just wanted to give everyone a head's up, if you're headed to Universal Studios as winter turns to spring, Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure is going to be temporarily closed from Feb 21 to March 5, per some sites I read. So just in case you have someone going looking forward to this particular ride, maybe hold off going there if you can! I know that really only Florida residents can just decide not to go, but it's a head's up for everyone so no surprises when you get there!

09/01/2023

It's 2023!! Where do you want to go this year? Somewhere in America you haven't been? Out of the country? Your options are endless!

There are cruise specials left and right for adults only and for families. Feeling adventurous? Plan a European River Cruise! it's the best of both worlds.

Are you knee deep (or worse) in snow? Let me plan a trip for you to Cancun or Punta Cana! Journeys works with some amazing resorts in both places!

Alaska cruises seemed to be all the rage last summer as people got back into traveling. You have an array of cruise lines to choose from - even the Disney Cruise Line does Alaska!

Let's get to it people! I'm ready when you are!!

03/01/2023
