Some people like the idea of disconnecting while on their cruise vacation.
If you plan on wanting to connect your phone, keep that in mind! Your phone will not work on the open seas without using the WIFI.
Could you go a whole cruise without being connected with the world?
Budgeting for a cruise can feel like a lot when you are not sure what all goes into it!
Here are some costs to keep in mind:
🔅Travel arrangements to and from the port city
🔅Hotel costs for the night before or after the cruise
🔅Drink packages
🔅Wifi packages
🔅Excursions
🔅Shopping and activities on board
🔅Speciality dining
Do any of these costs surprise you?
Last year, my word was colorful.
This year, my word is surrender.
Do you do a word of the year? If so, what’s your word this year?
I have a firm belief that everyone should experience at least one cruise before they decide it is not for them.
🛳What hesitations do you have about cruising?
The reasons to take your kids on a cruise are actually endless. Every family has different wants and needs from a vacation and with cruising, you can have them all! A big something for everyone involved.
I went on two cruises growing up and both experiences were beautifully amazing. Cruising offers something for the whole family.
Spring Break trips are still available and it is never too early to start planning for your Summer vacation fun!

🛳Small ships, large ships, entertainment, dining, oh my!
Don’t let the overwhelm of knowing how to find a cruise line that fits your needs stop you from cruising!
Some questions to ask yourself when looking for the right cruise line for you:
1️⃣Do I care about how many passengers are on board?
2️⃣What do I want to do while on the ship?
3️⃣Is specialized dining my priority?
4️⃣Am I shopping for price, cruise stops, or length of time?
5️⃣Am I hoping to relax or hit the night clubs?
When planning a cruise, you have to think through what is important to you! All cruise lines provide magical experiences but each is so different.
We help pair you with a cruise experience that fits your wants and needs while out on the open seas.

On Wednesdays, we wear pink 💗Let’s talk about travel agencies.
First of all, travel agencies are badass. They were created to help people plan vacations and allow more ease in our clients lives around vacationing.
Now see, ABSD Travel helps people plan incredible vacations, but we focus more on travel in an authentic way.
I firmly believe that travel is SO much bigger than just going on vacation. While vacationing is amazing and allows us space to relax and have an amazing time, there are so many ways to travel that are outside of that vacation model.
If you are looking for a way to add travel to your life and need help getting started, we are the travel agency made for you. Our travel planning seeks to help you find new and exciting ways to add simple travel into your life. By breaking through the mindset that travel is not available to you, you are opening yourself up to the limitless possibilities!
Book a 10-minute discovery call through the link in our bio to learn more about our agency and see if we are the perfect fit for you!
Have an awesome day & I love you all!

Black Canyon of the Gunnison is absolutely breathtaking!
In the Winter, some of the roads are closed off. We spent our Thanksgiving day at Black Canyon and enjoyed the calmness of the empty park. We loved hiking several of the pull-off trails and soaking in the incredible canyon.
It really does live up to its name of Black Canyon!
Pack a picnic, an extra jacket, and your explorer’s soul!

Travel is unpredictable, but we are not. One of my favorite parts about traveling is actually the unpredictability of what the experience will bring. I have experienced some WILD unexpected turns while traveling, but I learned how to handle a situation when something comes up.
I remind myself that I am safe and that there is a solution to every problem.
I promise, there is a solution to whatever comes up while traveling. Always.
Since I have been traveling for such a long time, finding the solution comes easy to me when a problem arises.
Through all my experiences, I have learned how to plan and create trips to remove as much unpredictability as possible.
My biggest suggestion: start with a deep breath and remind yourself that it is okay to be flexible and there is an easy solution in front of me, I just have to find it.
One of the most amazing parts of working with ABSD Travel is when you do face unpredictable pieces, we are here to help you find that easy solution!
Have you ever been traveling and something really unexpected happened?

Colors look different in different places. This comes up a lot in our house. How many colors I can see and experience in our world versus what my partner can see.
I started seeing vivid colors that our world holds at such a young age and I now look and experience color differently because of this.
My favorite color in the world to look at is green: there are limitless shades of green!
Travel helps us see differently.
When we branch out of what we know and allow something new to fill in its place, we grow.
2023 is meant to be a year of love and growth.
🔅Let’s grow together through travel.
