Have you heard the stories about the travel agents who have taken their clients' money & ran, never booking the vacations, and never contacting their clients again?

I hate to even have to address this, but I've heard of 2 on the news recently. I can't tell you how angry this makes me. But it is a cautionary tale about why you should know who you are doing business with.

If you're considering using a travel agent for your next vacation, here's some things you should know about me:

✈ I have been planning and booking vacations for my clients for over 5 years, with many happy & repeat clients.
👩‍💼 Latitude Travel Planning is an LLC registered with the state of GA. I am also personally a member of the travel professional associations, CLIA and ASTA.
💵 Your travel payments are always paid directly to the supplier that I book your trip with. No money passes through me or my accounts (The exception being if you are charged a nominal new client set up fee. This is paid to me directly and you will be notified in advance if you qualify)
🏖 You will ALWAYS get an official confirmation document from the travel supplier after initial and final payments. This confirmation shows your confirmation number, vacation details, amount paid, and amount owed.

Unfortunately, I can't stop the bad apples from tarnishing the travel planning profession. But I can promise that every trip booked with me is treated like my own family's.

Can we talk about sunsets at sea for a moment? Is there anything more dreamy than this? Tell me, what’s the best sunset you’ve ever seen?

Paris, France.

Did you watch the Opening Ceremonies for the 2024 Summer Olympics? I loved seeing all the sights as the torch bearer made his way through the city. The Louvre segment was especially cool.

What’s a French landmark you’d like to see (or your favorite that you have seen) in person?

Have you heard the news? To all my Southwest fans, what do you think?

Southwest Airlines plans to drop the open-boarding system it has used for more than 50 years and will start assigning passengers to seats, just like all the other big airlines.

This is such a great idea to help travelers cut down on hauling bulky items to the beach. I’m adding this spot to my TPA client’s vacation document’s package!

Have you used “Our Little Suitcase”?

One of the least enjoyable parts of traveling as a family is the flight!

It can be hard to keep the little ones happy and entertained, and that’s why the Bahamas is such a great destination for a family getaway!

You’re just a short 3-hour flight away from sun, sand, and adventure! Have you been to the Bahamas with the family yet?

Global tech disruptions seem to be causing flight problems this morning. If you’re traveling (or doing anything) today pack your patience!

Global tech outages have hit airlines and businesses, which are scrambling to respond.

Why would someone book a trip with a travel advisor instead of on the internet? Here are a few reasons 👇

Handpicked Accommodations: Without having to scour the internet with browser tabs toggled between multiple hotels, you can’t keep track of endless review sites that don’t actually give you any clarity.

Expert Recommendations: Whether I’m matching you to that lesser-known but amazing local guide or helping you decide which tours and experiences best suit your style, I’m sharing insights from my personal travel experiences and my network of travel experts around the world.

Reclaiming time: I save my clients dozens of hours and weeks, or sometimes even months, of scouring the internet trying to figure out what to book and how to pull a great trip together.

If you haven’t experienced the absolute relief and ease of having an expert take care of your travel plans, friend, I promise you, it is SUCH a good feeling.

Here when you’re ready to travel with ease!

Vacations are for breaking all the rules!

French macarons for breakfast? Sure!

Taking time to enjoy your morning coffee on your balcony? Why not!

Napping by the pool all afternoon? Sign me up!

I’m team napping by the pool over here. What about you?

Cheers to living your best (and delightfully carefree) vacation life!

You might be surprised at how many people wear bland clothing to theme parks. My advice is to wear the colors so you can spot your travel buddies in the crowd. This is especially great for keeping an eye on your kids running around in the play zones.

08/07/2024

As I’m planning my client's theme park trips, there’s a running roll of thoughts that go through my head 👇

👉 Did I check for the best possible package deals and ticket types?

👉 Is the hotel or resort a match for their style and personality?

👉 Are there special dietary or medical needs to consider?

👉 Is the park plan designed to hit the things that are most important?

👉 Are tours, experiences, and dining reservations booked?

👉 Is there transportation to and from all of the places in between?

👉 Are there any step-by-step instructions I need to send?

Y’all, it’s a whole lot to juggle.

It’s my job. It’s what I’m good at. And nothing makes me happier than taking these questions and worries off my clients’ plates so they aren’t stressing before or during their trips.

And friend, I can help you too! Don‘t waste another minute on theme park logistics. Send me a message today, and let‘s start planning! ✈️🌍

👔 What are you gifting this Father’s Day? Why not show the special dad in your life that you love him by gifting him a trip? Keep reading for some inspo!

🐠 The Florida Keys are a great option for guys who love to fish. Known as the sport fishing capital of the world, it’s the perfect place to book a deep sea fishing excursion for dad and then enjoy his catch at one of the local “catch & cook” restaurants.

🏜 Sedona, AZ is ideal for dads who enjoy nature and tranquility. The stunning red rock formations make a great backdrop for taking in spa treatments or just enjoying the breathtaking views. There’s also some great golf spots for dads who enjoy the sport!

🛳 And last but not least, my top recommendation for (almost) any trip: Take dad on a cruise! He will absolutely love this getaway because it’s bound to have something he can enjoy. Whether his thing is relaxing, adventure, or exploring all the the ship & ports have to offer, he’ll also love that you planned something that gets the best “bang for your buck”.

Which trip would the dad in your life like best?
