Fall in Europe is the absolute best but what you need is someone else to stress about the details and the logistics of the trip.
Hand over the Pinterest board and all of your ideas, and let me turn them into an actual itinerary and a trip so you can sit back and dream about how that Limoncello Spritz will taste after the summer crowds have left.
Pesky summer travel hiccups + what to do about them
âĄď¸ Seat Swap Surprises
So, youâve checked in online and picked your seats, but then you get to the airport and... surprise! Theyâve changed.
What to Do: Head straight to the gate desk (not the ticketing counter). Gate agents are your best friends hereâthey can help fix the seating situation or find someone willing to switch seats.
Lost or Delayed Luggage
âĄď¸ Your bags are MIA
What to do: Find the airlineâs baggage desk near the baggage claim area and file a claim before you leave the airport. If you canât locate the desk, call the airline ASAP to report your missing luggage.
Hang on to those receipts for any essentials you need to buyâjust keep it reasonable (no designer splurges, unfortunately). Then, when youâre back, file a claim with your travel insurance, one of the many reasons to have travel insurance.
âĄď¸ Delayed and cancelled flights
What to do: Check the Department of Transportation (DOT) Dashboard: If the delay is within the airlineâs control, the U.S. Department of Transportationâs Airline Customer Service Dashboard will show you what each airline should do to make it up to you.
âĄď¸ Not Loving Your Hotel Room
Your roomâs not up to par? Hereâs how to get it sorted
What to do: Ask for the manager. Call from your room or go to the front desk and ask to speak to a manager. Be specific about the issues and honest about what resolution youâre seeking.
âĄď¸ Rental Car Issues
What to do: If your rental car isnât what you expected, contact the rental companyâs customer service. They might be able to upgrade or switch your vehicle. Always check the car for damage before driving off the lot and report any issues immediately.
I/we hope you don't encounter any of these hiccups this summer but in case you do, use this as your quickstart guide to problem-solving. Enjoy these blissful summer days!
If you are working with a Travel Advisor, like myself, we can h
Nothing makes me think YIKES more than seeing online forums and messages of people whoâs vacations were ruined because they got to their resort or hotel and it was not as expected.
Now, some of you may not necessarily care too much about where you lay your head at night, youâre there to explore and enjoy the destination.
But for some of you, the resort or hotel experience can absolutely make or break your whole trip.
đ My advice?
Donât go off of the photos online, and outdated reviews youâre hoping still reflect the current situation.
I love that I can give my clients dynamic knowledge of resorts and hotels, either by visiting myself, or by tapping into my network of trusted people on the ground.
They get scoop so they donât end up at a place with shabby rooms, stiff mattresses, and a pool thatâs closed for maintenance.

Barcelona is absolutely gorgeous in the Fall.
You can still enjoy tapas, mountain views, Cava, exploring Gaudi's work, the great weather â all without the hustle and bustle of the summer months.
I absolutely love it.
And what I love even more is that while everyone is vying for summer accommodations and tours, you get to take a much more leisurely approach to planning your Fall trip.

Not nearly enough people talk about European Fall.
â
The ramblas and piazzas are a little less crowded.
â
The cafes and restaurants are a little more peaceful.
â
The lineups for major attractions are less busy.
And with how busy Europe is expected to be this summer, Fall really is looking all the more appealing.
I already have clients booked for trips to Scotland and France, if you're interested in a custom itinerary for a Fall adventure, don't hesitate to send me a DM.

Booking an all-inclusive package online is so easy, Iâll just do it myself.â
But is it? Hereâs why my clients always call me to book their trips to resorts in the Caribbean!Â
Not all all-inclusive vacation packages are created equally.
Accommodations, amenities, and even dining options are different from resort to resort.
Your time and your vacation are precious, and it can become a full-time job sifting through the internet trying to figure out if a resort is right for you and your family.
This is why my clients love having me on speed dial for their family getaways.
I know their preferences and the types of getaways they enjoy, and I cut through all of the travel overwhelm with suggestions that I know will meet their standards.
They never have to settle for subpar dining options, poor service, and rooms with a less-than-desirable view â and you donât either!
