Twenty years ago I was in the National Leisure Group call center in Virginia Beach. All of the incoming calls stopped as 75 agents watched overhead TVs in disbelief, as the World Center towers fell.

As the day progressed we were inundated by calls from our customers canceling cruises and vacation packages. A dark day.

A year later, on 9/11/02, 15 of us agents flew to Turks and Caicos from Logan Airport, Boston, on a one week fam to show our customers it was safe to fly again.

We almost had the resort to ourselves.

Never forget

Anyone want to go to Cancun?

Thank you for liking and following this page. I have not been updating regularly because this has been a crazy year for travel. Ever changing regulations, cancelled and rebooked vacations, constantly having to change your plans and destinations has been an exercise in frustration.

Finally there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Pent up frustration has opened the flood gates of demand. The airlines and rental car companies have been overwhelmed and prices reflect it.

Hopefully, once this bubble passes, things should get back to "normal."

There has never been a better reason to reach out to travel agents or travel advisors. I have a great article from The New York Times I will upload for you.

As you know, we are paid by the vacation vendors, the resorts, tour operators, airlines, etc., not our customers. We have access to travel portals the public does not. We are advocates for our clients and have the ability to cut though the red tape and can make things happen that the public, after an hour hold with an overworked call center employee, can't.

I am in the process of interviewing candidates interested in joining our team and I have found a web developer that will get thevacationstore.net, our dedicated site, rolling.

I will also be updating our office phone number shortly.

Thanks for your patience,

Karl

Welcome back. A lot has changed in the last 6 months. As we tackle new challenges you can be assured that we will continue to give you the best possible service and continue to deliver the fun and first class service you deserve.

Although everything seems to be up in the air the general consciences is that travel is set to begin mid September. and reservations are flying in.

In an effort to jump start travel, companies are offering awesome pricing. Availability, however, my be tight because of CoVid protocols for your protection.

I spoke to several cruise lines this morning and changes are profound.

The size of the largest cruise ships in the world enables them to provide plenty of room for social distancing. Buffets will be far different from what you expect.

They have always been a destination unto themselves so expect fewer port visits, more private island stops and shorter itineraries
All-inclusives are also rolling out safety protocols and limiting visitors
Here at The Vacation Store, we have a new website, thevacationstore.net, and a much easier email to remember: [email protected]. We also have a new phone # (757) 645-1261. This line comes directly to the office so feel free to leave a message, if we are helping clients, and be assured we will get back to you as soon as possible
New this year will be the ability for us to book you into up to a week long stay condo reservations at world class resorts all over the globe. Multiple bedrooms and full kitchens will be available.

On the cruising scene, take advantage of group bookings with amenities and even free staterooms, depending on the cruise selected
We are going to be adding a vacation photo share spot here, and on the website, to upload your pics for all to see. We will be awarding the best a prize.

So get ready to shake off those cobwebs and travel to the places you always wanted to see. This may be the best opportunity ever.

This is a great time of year to explore Mexico's all-inclusive resorts. For moderate to luxury, these locations include, depending on the resort, all food, fun and alcohol for one low price. Contact me for deals.

With spectacular beaches, incredible food, and great travel deals, Mexico is a favorite destination for families. The big resort cities of Cancun and Puerto Vallarta have plenty to recommend them, but head just a few kilometers out of town and you’ll find smaller communities with a completely diff...
