FRIENDLY REMINDER: As the holiday season ramps up and things get busy, don’t forget to take a minute for yourself.

In between closing off the travel year and helping clients plan their winter getaways/Spring break adventures/Spring travel to Europe, I’m taking time to enjoy the snowy views from my office window with a cup of coffee.

I’m filling my own cup so I can be on point to help clients plan their 2024 trips and to be here for clients this Holiday season who are off to trips to Holiday markets in Europe and cruises in the Caribbean.

Just call if you have a question or need a little help. Let’s make it through this holiday season together!

The weather outside may be a little frightful here in Charlotte, NC, but it’s a gorgeous day in Punta Cana.

Keep reading for 3 of my top recommendations for places to stay in the Punta Cana area this winter.

Casa De Campo, (really La Romano) for all the activities and because it is upscale.
Margaritaville Cap Cana because it has both an adults only and a family side.
Nickelodeon Punta Cana because it has an amazing beach!

Want customized recommendations for where to stay and what to do in Punta Cana and anywhere else in the Caribbean? I’m happy to help.

Just head to the link in my bio.

I have clients checking into Excellence Oyster Bay in February.

And I just had to share a few of the finer details that you may not know about ___ Excellence?.

The first thing you should know? I recommend this property to clients who want a romantic atmosphere.

This hotel/resort is perfect for that because it is adults only and a very intimate resort.

I also love it because it is elegant, intimate and the food is amazing!

Definitely add this to your shortlist if you’re planning a honeymoon/couples getaway in 2024.

Travel is such a personal thing.

And booking countless trips over the past 5 years, I can honestly say that one of the biggest things for my clients is the personal touch their trips get when they work with me.

Personal touch you’ll be hard pressed to find on online travel booking platforms that very much take a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to travel.

Adding a personal touch is my superpower when it comes to planning luxury trips for my clients.

I get to know you, your travel preferences, what you enjoy, what you value — that’s all so I can design a trip that’s made for you and you alone.

Not based on whatever hotel or resort pays to be suggested to you in the top spot.

When you’re ready to sprinkle more of a personal touch to your trips, because let’s be honest, those vacation days aren’t infinite and they are precious — I’m just a DM away.

It’s not where you are but who you’re with, and I totally agree, BUT that doesn’t mean that I don’t take where my clients’ vacation stays incredibly seriously!

One of the reasons why I make it a point to visit as many destinations, resorts, and hotels as possible is so I can get a feel for the true experience my clients will have when they visit the Caribbean.

In the travel industry, we call them site visits. When I’m in a destination, I connect with my hotel partners for exclusive tours and walkthroughs of their accommodations.

This gives me a feel for what the room, the amenities, and the overall experience at that resort or hotel is truly like.

Then I get to put all of that first-hand knowledge to tailor my recommendations to clients and to make sure their travels are nothing but amazing.

And hey, if I get to test out the pina coladas by the pool and call it work, I’m not complaining.

If you’re looking for guidance and expert knowledge as you plan your 2024 getaways, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Love what I do as a travel advisor! ✈️

Nothing makes me quite as happy as scrolling on Instagram or Facebook and seeing clients post having the time of their lives on their vacations that we worked together to plan.

When I plan couples trips, I put every detail under the microscope — everything from the hotel or resort, the activities, experiences, and everything else that goes into their itinerary.

It’s nice to see that work come to fruition and to see clients enjoying what’s been curated for them!

Your vacation time is precious, and you deserve nothing less.

Let 2024 be the year you start delegating your travel planning to a travel advisor. You won’t regret it!

Wondering exactly what we travel advisors do? Wonder no more! Here’s what my client had to say about my travel planning services after their trip to Europe.

Working with Susan on this past trip to Europe was a great experience. She was prompt at responding and helped to really make this a vacation that fit our needs in so many ways. We came away with almost two weeks of amazing memories with our two daughters.

I’m going to be the one to say it.

Planning your trips yourself is wasting your time 😬

Spending hours and hours scrolling through endless websites, comparing prices, reading reviews, and then booking it all?

That’s a lot of work!

If you’re the type who enjoys the research and the brainstorming, I highly recommend doing some of the upfront work — because, quite honestly, it’s fun to dream about getting away!

But then hand over your notes to a travel advisor to do the legwork.

It’s waaaay less of your time spent, and you get the benefit of a second pair of eyes on everything.

Close the browser tabs, friend! Send me a DM or head to the link in my bio to book a call instead.

Imagine this: You’re in a foreign city, and there‘s a last-minute itinerary change or a flight cancellation.

Stressful, right?

That‘s where having a travel agent becomes absolutely necessary.

Not just for the planning, but to have a problem solver and a right-hand person ready to help you handle any hiccups.

Spring and summer of 2024 are going to be very busy in Europe, and you’re going to want to have someone on deck who can throw you a lifeline if needed.

I’m already helping clients get their spring/summer Europe vacations planned and booked, If I can be of help, don’t hesitate to get in touch!

The biggest mistake people make with travel?

They think it’s as simple as booking and flight and a hotel.

There’s just much magic that happens when you take the time to plan out some of those little details that can make a good trip great.

🗺 The day tours *actually* worth leaving your comfy pool lounger for.

🔎 Booking that local tour guide who knows the history and culture better than anyone else.

🍔 Vetted recommendations for the perfect wine bar or steakhouse for that anniversary dinner.

It doesn’t mean you can’t have spontaneity. It means you’re going in with a game plan to get the most out of your trip, avoid disappointment, and make the experience memorable!

Ask me about my group travel planning services, I’m here to put together the details beyond the flight and hotel for you. 🙌

Still thinking about the dreamy itinerary, I just planned to Jamaica for clients who wanted a relaxing and romantic getaway.

Some details on this resort:

⭐️ Ocean view rooms and villas
⭐️ 5 on-site restaurants, including a very delicious Italian spot
⭐️ Room options with personal plunge pools
⭐️ Rates range from $4000 to $14,000 for a seven-night stay

My clients were looking for a fabulous resort, excellent food, fabulous ocean views and great pools and I knew this resort would be the perfect pick because I loved it for those same reasons when I stayed there last year.

They’re going to love their time there!

Trying to plan travel is kiiiind of chaotic.

It’s like being handed a jigsaw puzzle with a million pieces and being expected to put it all together yourself.

Now, imagine someone handing you that same puzzle, but sorted by edges, colors, and patterns.

That’s what I do for my clients. I simplify, give clarity, and save time when planning their luxury vacations.

The jigsaw puzzle comes together in a beautiful itinerary that’s mindful of my clients’ travel preferences and the things they need to make a trip truly notable.

Thinking of finally planning that trip to Europe? Get in touch to see how I can help.

Want to hear something crazy?

People are having bad luxury vacations and they don’t even know it.

The truth is, if you’re booking on Expedia or any other online travel website, you’re booking what their algorithms suggest to you.

And those algorithms know nothing about you. You get one-size-fits-all options which may be okay, but how do you know you’re not missing out on something better?

There’s a much better alternative.

Find a travel advisor who knows you and the way you like to travel.

A travel advisor who can make recommendations on the best resorts, hotels, and cruises, and line up experiences in the destinations you visit to match your preferences.

If you’ve ever had a trip in the past that was just mediocre at best, one that left you feeling disappointed, it sounds like it’s time to skip the internet and call a travel advisor instead — that’s me, by the way! My name is Susan Shure, nice to meet you.

Interested? Send me a quick DM to get started.

Winter is creeping up fast! ❄️

Where should you go and where should you stay?

Two important questions, but before you answer them, ask yourself this:

Do you want to be doing all of the research, booking, and planning?

Or would you much rather delegate it to someone else during this busy time of year?

If you’re cringing at the thought of sitting on Google trying to find reviews for the resorts you’re considering or decide on what tours are worth your time, it’s time to call in reinforcements.

All it takes is heading to my website.

These reinforcements will do all of the research, planning, and itinerary creation for that winter escape.

Call me crazy, but I just don’t think Black Friday is the best time of year to book travel.

Not only do I like to be on the lookout all year for promotions that give maximum value, but…

This is a stressful time of year, and in the frenzy of Black Friday shopping, it’s so easy to fall into the trap of making a snap decision about travel.

Black Friday deals often come with blackout dates and restrictive travel options

If you’re feeling spontaneous, go ahead and book, but if you’re planning for trips well into the future, give yourself time to plan and find the best value

The good news is, if you’re looking to keep an eye on travel promotions and really want to stretch the value of your vacation, you can always get in touch.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve saved my clients money and helped them maximize their travel budgets beyond just Black Friday deals. Get in touch!

Booking your trip online yourself isn't necessarily cheaper, and here's why:

👉You're doing it all on your own

You’re doing all of the work to research and book your trip yourself instead of delegating it to an expert. What’s your time worth?

👉It may seem cheaper, but it isn't

That $100 you save on that travel deals website is never worth it when you need to cancel or flights change. You'll probably end up with extra fees and charges to change or cancel your booking.

👉You're missing out on VIP access

Travel agents have access to promotions and connections that you may not necessarily see online and don’t even know you’re missing out on.

Don't leave your next vacation up to chance!
