Some of the greatest things, in our world, have returned to Seaworld. The penguin cup which was discontinued several years ago and Orca Encounter has reopened after a refurbishment which also means Cheeto Popcorn has returned. 🤤
Seaworld makes a great summer vacation and helps enrich the minds of your littles.

To our military past present and future:

Thank you for your service. Thank you for your dedication. Thank you for being among the elite, the true Americans, who were willing to give it all to protect the freedom we have today. We may not know you all but we sure as heck owe you all. We at PYD Vacations by Diane are proud family members to many who served and we couldn’t be more proud of our family.
We hope all of you Veterans were shown the love and respect you deserve. Let’s not just celebrate these men & women just today we need to celebrate them everyday.

We are off on field research today. While on the research we are stopping at Margaritaville. You can find this restaurant at Universal’s City Walk. Such a fun environment with an expansive drink list including 12+ variations on the margarita plus a margarita flight. A nice children’s menu is available for our little people as well, child’s drink included with their meal. Jimmy Buffet’s concert replays on the sail. It’s 5 o’clock somewhere.

🌍✈️✨Travel Tip: How to Score the Best Airfare!! ✨✈️🌍

1️⃣ Be Flexible with Dates: ✨📅✨ Being open to flying on different dates can save you big bucks! Check out fare comparison websites that show the cheapest days to fly, and consider traveling during off-peak seasons for even better deals.

2️⃣ Plan Ahead: 🗓️📝 The early bird catches the worm, and the early traveler catches the best fares! Start looking for flights well in advance to secure the best prices before they skyrocket.

3️⃣ Set Fare Alerts: 🚨🔔 Don't have time to constantly check for flight deals? No worries! Sign up for fare alerts on travel websites or use dedicated apps to receive notifications when prices drop for your desired destinations.

4️⃣ Compare, Compare, Compare: 🤔💻💰 Don't settle for the first price you see! Use multiple search engines and compare prices across different airlines to ensure you're getting the best bang for your buck.

5️⃣ Take Advantage of Promotions: 💥🎉 Keep an eye out for airline promotions, flash sales, or discounted fares. Follow airlines' social media accounts and subscribe to their newsletters to stay in the loop and never miss out on a great deal!

6️⃣ Consider Alternate Airports: 🛬🛫 Sometimes, flying into or out of a different airport can save you money. Check nearby airports and weigh the cost of transportation to find out if it's worth the extra effort.

7️⃣ Don't Forget to Clear Your Cookies: 🍪🔒 Some websites use cookies to track your searches and raise prices accordingly. To avoid this, clear your browsing history or use incognito mode when booking flights.

Remember, patience is key when searching for the best airfare deals. Keep an open mind, stay persistent, and soon you'll be soaring through the skies without burning a hole in your wallet! ✈️💸💙

Just a few amazing pictures from another group of travelers this week. They are at Congo Trail Canopy Zip Line in Costa Rica enjoying this troop of Howler Monkeys which included a mom and baby.
It’s always a treat to see monkeys in the wild. Have you seen monkeys in the wild while on vacation? If you have where were you and do you know what species?
I love monkey play, it’s an even better experience when the monkeys are friendly with guests.

Just a few of the views our anniversary couple is enjoying on their Alaskan cruise. These pictures are from Juneau and Hubbard Glacier taken by the couple themselves. Such a surreal experience, between wildlife and the beauty of nature this trip is by far one of my favorite. Happy sailing days, thank you for trusting me with your cruise.

In all the end of school year and beginning of summer happenings I let this page go silent for a short while, my apologies.

It’s almost July 🎉🥳 we are so excited are June travelers are back and have been sharing all their wonderful travel stories. We’ve got a lovely couple heading off soon for an Alaskan cruise to celebrate their anniversary and multiple groups hitting the beautiful beaches of Costa Roca. With views like these I’m not sure I could chose one over the other. Safe travels to all as we sit here grinding away in the office we hope you enjoy glaciers, mountains, and sun!

Hi all- I know we’ve been quiet here for a while and I apologize. We’ve had so many family events happening over the last few months. From bridal shower, graduation, babies, weddings, and of course travel. We are almost done with everything and when we are you better believe we will have pictures from all of our travels and travelers.

Ekʼ Balam- a Yucatec-Maya archaeological site within the municipality of Temozón, Yucatán, Mexico. It lies in the Northern Maya lowlands, 25 kilometres (16 mi) north of Valladolid and 56 kilometres (35 mi) northeast of Chichen Itza. From the Preclassic until the Postclassic period, it was the seat of a Mayan kingdom. The site is noted for the preservation of the plaster on the tomb of Ukit Kan Lek Tokʼ, a king buried in the side of the largest pyramid.

This is one of many adventures available in the beautiful destination of Mexico.

Looking for an exciting summer plan those Paw Patrol loving kiddos of yours will never forget? Look no further than one of the Karisma’s Nickelodeon all inclusive resorts. While at the resorts keep your eyes wide open — because your favorite Nickelodeon pals could pop up at any moment when a Character Flash strikes. The most important meal of the day is even better when it’s a Character Breakfast at one of the resort’s delicious restaurants, with SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora the Explorer or the PAW Patrol. Or fuel up at the TMNT Turtle Power Breakfast at Nick Resorts Punta Cana and pick up some cool ninja moves from Donatello, Leonardo, Michelangelo and Raphael. (Surcharge applies.)

There is something for everyone, yes adults included.

Let’s start planning those fun summer vacations.
