Travel Update - October 2020

Quick Summary.. Mexico is a vibrant opportunity. Resorts are welcoming, clean and safe. Restrictions are easing. Destinations (domestic and Int'l) into next year are already selling out. Everyone is ready for a vacation. In fact, we just got back from a fabulous trip to the Esperanza in Cabo San Lucas. See some pictures of the property below!

More details below:

International: Mexico can be catered to your type of trip. From a tranquil and serene experience to an active adventure! Other Int'l..think Summer 2021, but bookings in some cases (River Cruises, Tours) are breaking records.

Domestic: Winter destinations are selling out quickly due to capacity limits. (Montana Adventures are popular. Ski destinations are filling quickly).

Restrictions: Mexico = Easy. Simple health form and temperature check. U.S. = Varies by State, but generally not limiting (NY is an exception) Hawaii is opening with some restrictions. Other Int'l: Changes daily. Contact us for the latest up to date information.

Looking forward: Every day we are seeing more and more positive news. Having traveled both domestically and to Mexico in the last few months researching destinations for our clients, we can say that resorts and destinations are clean, staff is well-versed in protocol and service is outstanding.

With many destinations limiting capacity, crowds are rare and service quality is high. Shhh....don't tell anyone!

Destinations into next Summer are booking quickly. This is due to credits from this year being utilized, as well as "normal" new bookings. It is wise to book now for any travel you have in mind as cancellation policies are still extremely generous.

Let us know how we can help you with any questions you may have. Happy Monday!

We are all in a position that we never would have thought of just a few months ago.

These are things that should be important when you travel and things that we put at the top of our list for every single client.

Friends - As a travel advisor, my first desire is for you to have the most memorable vacation you possibly can. Travel is an investment in memories that last forever. It's important to do it right.

I will never push anyone to utilize me as a travel advisor. What means more to me is that you and your family travel happy, laugh and reminisce about the incredible experiences you take together. With that being said, if you have 5 minutes today, take a look through the attached article which explains the value in a good travel advisor (not just an agent). I believe that having a business means having the responsibility of giving you my absolute best, treating every client like you are my only client. That is my promise to each and every person that I have the privilege to serve.

We are so thankful for incredible growth over the last year. That is because of you and your willingness to share our little business with your family and friends. For that, I have nothing but absolute gratitude. ☺️

If you ever have travel questions, inquiries or otherwise, please reach out. I am here for YOU! Happy Thursday!

- Denise

You don't know what you don't know. Travel agents make your trips better, easier, less stressful, and often cheaper.

Checked bags vs. Carry on... What is your preference?

We recommend checking when on a non-stop flight and considering the carry-on if on a tight connection or multi-stop flight. Also consider how long your trip is. You may be able to get away with a carry on when traveling under a week, but for longer international travel, a checked bag allows you more freedom to pack a higher volume of clothing and possibly leave room to safely store any purchased items for the trip home.
