Traveling internationally soon and want to avoid jet lag?
Here's a tip I've adopted, while on your flight, set your time to the destination time zone, this immediately puts your brain and body into a new clock and so you can adjust your sleep schedule on the flight to match your new time zone.
I also repeat to myself out loud that it is now "x" time.
If you have a window seat there are some airplanes that have dimmable features!
This has worked for me whether I've traveled 3 time zones away or 12 time zones.
Maybe I'm crazy but I have never experienced jet lag.

What's one of your hacks to prevent jet lag?

The truth is, anyone can book a vacation. But creating a truly customized experience with no hidden costs, no headaches, no dozens of hours of research, a real human to contact in case anything goes awry, that’s why savvy travelers designate the travel planning to an expert 🧳

The insights I can provide especially for the four continents I’ve personally traveled in allow me to share personal experiences and knowledge that’s ungoogleable. Take for example the fact that your dollar bills must be of a certain year if you plan to use them in Tanzania.

Or it can be on a different note like where to find the highest number of baobabs if you’re into trees :)

I also have firsthand knowledge professionally handling emergency scenarios effectively and managing people through my long standing background in dairy and athletic training.

When you’re ready to stop wasting all your time scrolling and researching the best places to stay in Europe or searching for which country you want to do your safari in, I’d love to help, I know because I’ve been there myself, I spent more time than I’d like to admit planning my own safari :) DM if you have questions or to see if we’d be a fit to work together

Did you know you can experience safari life outside of a safari jeep? You can have part of your safari on horseback, on a motorized boat, on a mokoro (non motorized boat), walking, aerial (a must-do for places like the Okavango Delta), on a mountain bike.
Here are some reasons to add on one of the above:
Closer Connection to Nature: Out of the jeep you’re more attuned to the sights, sounds, and smells of the environment. You get to experience the natural world in a more intimate way.
Increased Wildlife Encounters: Being on foot can sometimes allow for closer, more personal encounters with wildlife, especially smaller creatures and birds that might be missed from a vehicle.
Learn About the Ecosystem: Guides often provide detailed insights into the flora and fauna, explaining tracks, signs, and the intricate balance of the ecosystem.
Enhanced Sensory Experience: Walking engages your senses more fully. You might notice the rustle of leaves, the scent of rain on the earth, or the subtle changes in the environment.
Physical Activity: It’s a great way to combine exercise with adventure. Walking, horseback or cycling safaris typically involve a moderate level of physical activity, which can be both invigorating and rewarding.
Increased Awareness and Observation: You’re more focused and attentive to your surroundings, which can lead to a deeper appreciation of the natural world.
Adventure and Challenge: For many, the adventure of navigating through the bush and the challenge of being on foot in a wild environment adds an element of excitement and accomplishment!

Did you know adding a helicopter excursion to your Botswana safari is one of the best ways to capture the raw and unfiltered beauty of the array of lagoons, islands and plains of the Okavango Delta?

Portions of the Okavango Delta are only accessible via air to get a close view of the animals that thrive in these permanent and sometimes fleeting bodies of water that seem abundant but then sink into the sands of the Kalahari desert.

Botswana is one of those destinations that require more thought with the planning because there are fewer resorts and thus fewer visitors than typical safari countries. If you've been dreaming of the Okavango Delt and the Kalahari desert for 2025, now is the perfect time to get started planning (June-August is the optimal time to visit).

A well planned safari in Botswana is a memory you'll treasure, but don't be overwhelmed by coordinating the inland flights, special accomodations, helicopter reservations etc, Botswana can a beast of a trip to coordinate on your own. Head to my bio to schedule a consult! I can't wait to curate your bucket list adventure :)

Spotting a leopard on safari is often a highlight of the trip. Remember, leopards are elusive - they're solitary, they're shy, they're nocturnal and they've got excellent camouflage, which blends in with wherever they're lurking. All of which makes leopards difficult to see in the wild.

Having the right guide will infinitely increase your chances of seeing a leopard, these guides have the training and hands on experience guiding you in the right direction of these magnificent cats. The suppliers I work with are specialists in Africa and you will be in great hands on your bucket list trip to see as many animals as possible and get the first hand knowledge from them about their behaviors etc, they essentially a walking encyclopedia (err google these days :))

On my safaris, the leopards have mostly been in trees or in taller grasses which makes them harder to spot for an untrained eye.

One tip though: sometimes it's better to capture this memory with your heart and soul than fumbling looking for your camera or phone; they can disappear in an instant.
Save this post for your Africa travel inspiration!

1. Barbados: tropical beaches, gorgeous waters to surf on, the birthplace of rum, and its exciting pirate history, there is a whole myriad of reasons to visit
2. Turks and Caicos: the perfect antidote for your hectic lifestyle: blindingly white sand fringed by shimmering azure water, colorful coral reefs
3. Antigua and Barbuda: fabulous beaches, but there's plenty to keep you occupied away from the sand, from rainforest adventures and boat trips to heritage sites and cooking classes
4. The British Virgin Islands: aside from the breathtaking beaches, this secluded pocket of paradise boasts wildlife-rich rainforests, lush green peaks and a snorkeler's dream
5. Cayman Islands: marine life, flora and fauna to museums and cultural locales, Grand Cayman is the Grand Dame of the Caribbean

Which of these will you visit first? Drop your favorite number in the comments :)

5 tips to make the most of your All-Inclusive vacation 🏖

1. Use a beach bag as your carry-on instead of a purse. Pack sunscreen, swimsuit, and reef-safe sunscreen in it so when you arrive at your destination you have everything you need to get your vacay started. Important if you have an early flight because maybe your room will not be ready when you arrive. If so, you can drop your bags with the bellman and head to the pool while you wait!

2. Drink up. At All-Inclusive resorts, drinks are included, but there may be an upcharge for top-shelf liquors. Be sure to read the
fine print. If you are having your drinks delivered to you by the pool, ask for an extra glass of ice on the side. It gets hot hanging out in the sun, and the extra ice will help cool your drink down when it arrives. Another option is to bring your Stanley or other insulated cup, not as pretty but your drink will stay cold.

3. Get ready to enjoy lots of delicious food. There will be multiple restaurants throughout the resort, each featuring a different cuisine. Is there a specific restaurant at which you want to dine? Be sure to make your reservations as soon as you arrive at your destination. Prime dining times will fill up quickly. You will also want to know what the dress code for specialty restaurants is.

4. Take advantage of the resort activities. Sunrise Yoga on the beach. Cannonball contests at the pool. Evening shows in the theater. Non-motorized water sports are also included in your vacation. Stand Up Paddleboarding, anyone? Always wanted to learn how to SCUBA dive?

5. Pick the right resort. Are you looking for quiet areas or does being around people energize you? Are activities or food more important? Are you looking for a romantic destination or one that caters to families? Think of your favorite travel advisor (me) as your “resort matchmaker.” I will take all of your considerations in mind and send you to the perfect destination.

By following these tips, you’ll be making the most of your All-Inclusive vacation in no time! Ready to pack your bags? I can't wait to match you with the resort that most fits your vacation desires.

Looking for a quick get away? An all-inclusive resort may be just the ticket. These destinations are usually in tropical locations and include food, drinks, and activities and most are just a quick flight away. But doing the research to find the perfect resort can feel like a full-time job, and we know you already have one of those. So, leave the details to us!

26/02/2024

Just because you’re on vacation doesn’t mean your “mom” duties get a rest too. That’s why we recommend getting a butler service for your all-inclusive vacations. Instead of you being the one to run back to the room to get sunscreen or iron your little one’s clothes for the evening, your butler can handle it. Curious to know which resort offers this service? Give us a call and we’ll create a once-in-a-lifetime trip that is perfect for you too!

Curious about how to spend a long layover in Doha, Qatar? Whether you have 3 hours or 13, I have suggestions to keep you entertained/or where to rest. To leave the airport you must have at least a 6 hour layover. If you have less than 6 hours, you can enjoy shopping at the luxury retailers, experience fine dining, explore the art installations inside the airport, take a leisurely stroll inside the forest, or sleep in one of the complimentary designated resting rooms. If you are leaving the airport, there are city tours that last for 3 hours or you can ride off into the desert for 4 hours and enjoy a wonderful meal. Here I am, in the forest inside the airport, a great place to have a picnic, relax etc. I didn’t check a bag so I was carrying double duty. I should also note that checking back in after leaving the airport was a breeze, from entry to exiting security took less than 10 minutes thanks to Hamad International Airport’s advanced technology which includes passport readers, automated cameras that adjust to take your picture etc, it’s a relaxed environment that is sure to put your mind at ease when traveling.

Cozumel, where turquoise waters meet vibrant coral reefs. Dive into
an underwater wonderland teeming with colorful fish, swaying sea
fans, and breathtaking coral formations. Snorkel alongside graceful sea turtles and discover the hidden treasures of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System. And when you’re not exploring the depths of the Caribbean Sea, bask in the sun on powdery white-sand beaches, sip on a refreshing margarita, and soak up the laid-back island vibes. Cozumel is your passport to paradise!

Caribbean cuisine is a tantalizing fusion of flavors influenced by the diverse cultural heritage of the region. From the vibrant spices of India to the savory techniques of Africa, and the indigenous ingredients of the Caribbean islands,
the culinary landscape is as rich and diverse as its people. From jerk chicken in Jamaica to curry goat in Trinidad and Tobago, the bold and fiery flavors are a hallmark of Caribbean cooking. Thanks to the abundance of coastal resources, seafood plays a prominent role in Caribbean cuisine. Freshly caught fish, lobster, shrimp, and conch are transformed into mouthwatering dishes, often prepared with a medley of herbs, citrus, and tropical fruits. Indulge in the rich tapestry of flavors that Caribbean cuisine offers.

The best part is, you can sample an array of Caribbean cuisines by going on a cruise. Multiple countries in one trip is a fantastic choice for foodies!

Ever wonder what creates all the beautiful different colors of a sunset? Well, according to meteorologists, it’s caused by something called “light scattering” where small particles within the atmosphere change the direction of light rays, causing the particles to scatter. Soak in all the stunning sunsets on your next Caribbean cruise. Save this post for your Caribbean trip inspiration ❤️

Amboseli National Park in southern Kenya formerly known as Maasai Amboseli Game Reserve dates back 1500 years ago. Amboseli comes from a Maasai word meaning salty dust and it is one of the best places in Africa for elephant viewing.

Amboseli features an array of habitats including woodlands, savannah, wetlands with sulphur springs and the dried up bed of Lake Amboseli.

It is one of the best wildlife destinations in the world with over 400 species of birds, many of these are water birds like pelicans, hamerkop, kingfisher and 47 raptor species.

The best time to visit is June-October and January-February, which is the dry season.

February 14 is around the corner, do you have something planned for that special someone?

Roses are red, the Caribbean’s blue, there’s nothing more romantic than a hotel suite for two.

Traveling with your partner provides an opportunity to not only experience new places and cultures together and allows you to see more sides of their personality. So this year, plan an adventure instead of a dinner reservation.
When you choose Wick Travel to customize your romantic getaway you get personalized service from planning to post-trip feedback.

Here are 3 ideas:
1. View the Northern Lights at Thingvellir National Park, Iceland. Valentine's Day is a great time because September-March are the longest nights. The collisions between solar particles and the Earth's magnetic field happen more frequently around the vernal equinox. Be sure to spend a few days in Reykjavik to see the Golden Circle and the Blue Lagoon.
2. Wow your honey by taking a trip to Verona, Italy, the city of lovers ( the home of Romeo and Juliet). Check out the hearts festival during February featuring free concerts, movie-kiss recreation contest, and public reading of the most romantic readings to Juliet from letters around the world.
3. Splurge on a trip to St. Barts to surround you and your partner in luxury hotels, and powdery beaches. Top it off with al fresco dining, private Caribbean BBQ and French wine.

Which one of these would you like most? Save this post for when you plan your romantic escape, whether that's in February or the rest of the year.

If a vacation is in your future for this year, I would be honored to make your dreams come to life. Whether you're island hopping on a cruise, sitting on the beach, watching crystal clear waters roll in while sipping your favorite cocktail or you've decided it's time to plan that family safari in Africa, enjoying a spectacular sunset over the Serengeti sitting around a fire in your private camp, waiting for the stars to shine and hearing the howl of a hyena in the distance. Whatever you can dream of, I would love to provide my planning service so you can sit back and relax while I take care of the details. Now is the perfect time to start planning! DM today to get started.

Rwanda is quite often visited for the mountain gorilla experience in the north by Volcanoes National Park, bordering Uganda and the DRC. A great way to take in more of what Rwanda has to offer is by flying into Kigali to explore the city and taking in the vibrant arts scene then driving north for the gorilla trekking and depending on the next activity, consider flying out to save time. Follow along for more travel tips on Rwanda and all of East Africa.

Have you considered gorilla trekking while in East Africa?

Gorilla trekking involves going on a guided hike through dense rainforest to spend time with a specific gorilla troop in their natural environment. Visiting thеse еnigmаtiс and beautiful creatures is a life-changing experience.

Mountain gorillas can only be found in the Virunga Massif, a volcanic mountain range covering the border region between Rwanda, the DRC and Uganda meet.

Mountain gorillas are on the critically endangered list with only a little over one thousand left in the world. This experience is sure to be one you will remember for decades. Be sure to plan this at least 6 months or more in advance of your desired travel date as there are only a small number of permits allowed per day as to minimize the human impact on these gorillas. DM me for questions or find the Calendly link in my bio to get started planning this once in a lifetime adventure!!

Exploring Europe through a River Cruise: Important Benefits to Consider vs. Ocean Cruising

Rich History
The Rhine and Danube, two of Europe's largest rivers, flow through towns that are historically significant to the region. Most cities and villages were established along these rivers and grew from there, so there's a wealth of history to discover. A river cruise is the perfect way to explore these areas up close.

Safety and Security
Traveling through Europe means navigating different languages, currencies, and customs. Fortunately, your ship's Tour Manager will be there to guide you and provide support throughout your journey. These experts travel the same stretch of river multiple times a season and know the cities they visit inside and out. Plus, because you're on a river, you're always near land in case you need anything that isn't provided by the ship.

Efficiency
European river cruises are incredibly efficient. You'll never experience downtime as you travel from country to country. Instead, your travel time becomes part of the vacation. You can relax and enjoy the landscape or indulge in delicious cuisine, rather than waiting in lines at bus or train stations.

Accommodations
On a river cruise, you'll have a beautiful room all to yourself for the duration of your trip. Although they're relatively small, these rooms come with everything you need, including a comfortable bed and private bathroom. The best part? You won't have to keep switching hotels as you explore the continent.

In conclusion, a European river cruise is an excellent vacation choice. Whether you're interested in an eight-day cruise down the Rhine or a twenty-two-day adventure to see the entirety of the Danube, we're here to help. Contact Wick Travel today to schedule a call with me, find the Calendly link in bio and happy river cruising :)

Did you know that river cruise itineraries may change based on the water level of the river? If the water is too high, ships may not be able to pass under bridges. They may also change if the water is too low, as in times of drought. Be flexible and go with the flow to make the most of your river cruise. This is another reason to hire a travel advisor to plan your trip for you, we can help you navigate the unknowns by changing your reservation while you are enroute. Quite often we've already been informed of a travel mishap you may be encountering even before you have had the chance to contact us. vs. Does expEdi@ care that your flight got cancelled? No they don't, to them you are only booking #, to Wick Travel you have a name and have a purpose for your travel. Choose to travel well by choosing Wick Travel.

“Dar es Salaam” means “haven of peace” in Arabic and there’s
no wonder why. This beautiful coastal town is popular for its island life, fresh seafood, and lively tunes. There are plenty of activities for every kind of traveler. Dar es Salaam is also the starting point for many Tanzanian safaris that run the southern circuit. Furthermore, if you choose to add Zanzibar at the end of your safari, you can either fly from Dar es Salaam or you can use one of the ferries, just make sure to buy a ticket at least a few hours in advance at minimum. The ferries are quite fast and offer air conditioning, meals and entertainment.

I’ve been surprised by the vast differences in safari pricing. Yes, I did find some around 2-3k pp. (Not including air, which is a significant cost.) These basic safaris have drawbacks. For example: ➡️ Tent camping ➡️ No toilets/showers ➡️ Long travel times (think 6+ hours per day) ➡️ Cramped safari vehicle ➡️ Short game drives due to time constraints Most travelers aren’t okay with this, but it’s an option. If you prefer the following, I would love to plan your safari. ➡️ Private safari ➡️ Game drives in private concessions ➡️ Game viewing activities such as walking, horseback, night game drives etc ➡️Private plunge pool ➡️Butler service ➡️ Top tier dining ➡️Eco friendly accommodations And more.. then follow along for more safari content There is an endless array of upgrades to a safari and because for many people a safari is a once in lifetime experience, you deserve the best service and stays in the safari industry. Questions? Leave a comment or DM ! #safari #safariplanning #luxurytravel #stressfreetravel #bucketlisttravel

And there’s so much more I could add to this reel. Botswana is a gem for safari and probably best suits those who are only planning on visiting Africa for safari one time or as a step up from some of the entry level safari destinations. Honestly it’s hard to skip one destination for another because they all have unique characteristics but I would say Botswana is going to offer an experience that is more raw and untouched vs. other safari destinations (but only if you choose to visit the conservancies vs public parks). For Botswana you need an expert planner because if you want to do both Kalahari salt pans and the Okavango Delta, you’ll need inland flights etc. Please comment below with any Botswana questions or DM me. And please note I plan trips for all safari countries, this reel is just a spotlight on Botswana 🇧🇼 #botswana #visitbotswana #botswanasafari

With the global flight outage today here are some steps you can take to make your travel less stressful even in unforeseen circumstances: 1. Buy travel insurance, most cases you have to purchase when booking, some will let you add travel insurance up to 14 days after booking. 2. Entrust your vacation plans to a Travel Advisor, this is what we specialize in and therefore you can call directly instead of being in a queue for an extended period of time. 3. Be patient and prepared. As your Travel Advisor we are often monitoring the situation well before you know there’s an issue. We’re ready to help you navigate the unexpected together. 4. Have printed copies or at least screenshots of your itinerary and important documents. How do you prepare for the unexpected events while traveling?

You 1000% earned your vacation, now take advantage of those days off. You need it more than you probably realize. Figuring out how you want to use those days is an essential and I can either plan part of your vacation or the entire thing. I don’t want you stressing over how to spend your precious time and if you need help with that I’m happy to share my insights and advice based on personal experience, relationships with suppliers and networking within the travel industry. My DMs are always open :)

If your dream is to drive alongside these gentle giants and all the other wild animals you’ll see on safari, let’s get your dreams rolling. When you’re ready to say yes to safari, locate the Calendly link in my bio to schedule your complimentary consultation so I can get to creating your unforgettable African safari. This type of trip is best designated to a Travel Advisor due to its complex nature. If you’re thinking of crossing a safari off your bucket list in 2025, now is a great time to start planning the adventure of a lifetime. #bucketlisttravel #bucketlistadventures #safari #africansafari #luxurytravel #elephant #africanelephant

I must also note that the exact timing and location varies slightly every year depending on rainfall. The herd will follow where the food supply is most abundant. It’s truly a sight to see and a memory you’ll reflect on for a lifetime seeing the Great Migration with vast numbers of these migratory (and non-migratory) wild animals. If you need help planning your safari, I’d love to plan it, there’s no cookie cutter approach to these type of trips. Everything is tailored to your needs/wants. This type of trip is an investment and I’m dedicated to adding all the details to make your safari stress free and enjoyable. Follow along for more content like this #safari #safariplanning #bucketlisttrips #stressfreetravel #africansafari #luxurytraveladvisor

One more thing I forgot to mention is that in order to make sure you get a permit for the gorilla trekking you’ll want to reserve your spot asap, at least six months in advance and preferably actually 9-12 months. There are a limited number of permits allowed per day to ensure the mountain gorillas retain their natural behaviors, minimize human contact etc. While both Uganda and Rwanda offer the mountain gorilla trekking, I would choose Rwanda for ease of access. There are also more accommodations in Rwanda. Gorilla trekking is on my bucket list, if it’s on your bucket list too follow along or share with your travel partner. I’d be ecstatic to plan your once in lifetime adventure in Africa! #travel #bucketlist #bucketlistadventures #bucketlisttravel #rwandagorillas #ugandagorillatrekking #mountaingorillas #mountaingorillasofrwanda #luxurytravel #stressfreetravel

Please take allll of those PTO days, you deserve it. When you’re ready to plan, my DMs are open, or use the Calendly link. Your future self will thank you. #travel #traveltips #travelmore #contentcreator #luxurytraveladvisor #bucketlisttravel

As a Travel Advisor my job is to provide you with the best service from the first consult to your return home and beyond. Usually clients already know their destination (though I can provide pointers if you tell me what you like). The service comes from research, training with partners and suppliers, networking with others in the travel industry, fam trips and my own personal trips. I put together a personalized proposal for you, then give you options about protecting your trip etc. What is the value of your time? Most people who end up booking on their own spend at minimum 20 plus hours researching, and for more complex trips like Europe or Africa it can easily be double because there are so many components involved. Then you still have to learn about certain travel requirements like vaccinations, visas etc and it soon becomes a mountain of tasks to take care of. If you’re still on the fence, or have questions, DMs are always open. Travel is so much more than booking a trip, it’s an investment in the experience of a lifetime. So take allll those PTO days 😎your future self will thank you. #travel #travelmore #traveladvisor #luxurytravel #bucketlistvacations

In the dry season, elephants forage for whatever they can find. When the dry grasses are insufficient, elephants turn to trees for nourishment, particularly the baobab tree. The baobab tree has a softer interior than hardwood trees but of course elephants must first strip away the bark, after that they sometimes push the tree over with their tusks (another reason why elephants must have tusks). It looks like complete destruction seeing this up close. I saw the highest number of these elephant-eaten trees in southern Tanzania. What is something unique you’ve seen on safari?

If you’ve taken your frozen water bottle through TSA, leave comment, I would love to know if this works because if it does you can guarantee I will be trying this next time I fly. I can’t wait to hear your feedback! #traveltips #stressfreetravel #airporthacks

If you would like to have specific choice in the type of food you want to eat for your long haul flight, you can log onto the airlines website and request it, usually it has to be within 30 days or less of travel. You will need to enter your name and confirmation number. With so many options available, you are bound to find the type of meal that you’re looking for.

Here’s what you need to know about money when traveling to Tanzania: 1. US bills have to be from year 2009 or newer 2. US bills must be completely intact. 3. Dollars are widely accepted though you may end up paying more because merchants will often round up. 4. You can exchange money once you arrive in Tanzania, though don’t expect an ATM around every corner. 5. Consider delegating the planning of your Africa trip to a Travel Advisor. This is one small way we can make travel more smoothly for you, these insider tips are extremely valuable.

What a breathtaking experience in Explora Journeys! Ocean cruising redefined. Explora Journeys currently cruises in the following: Mediterranean, Red Sea/Arabian Peninsula, Transatlantic, Caribbean/Central America. There are so many benefits to cruising with Explora Journeys and my top favorite perks are: complimentary WiFi, the walking track, the spa thermal area 🤩and no buffets!! How amazing! Explora Journeys is family friendly but not family heavy, there are a limited number of children on board and separate activities for those kids. I recommend you check out Explora Journeys if you’re in the market for a cruising experience beyond the ordinary. There are still many moving parts even for a cruise such as reserving the dining options and shore experiences etc, if you’d rather hand over all those details, I’d be honored to plan and curate your Explora Journeys cruise 🚢 cruising has never been more exquisite #oceancruise #mediterraneancruise #bucketlistcruise #bucketlistravel #luxuryoceancruise #caribbeancruise #luxurytravel #stressfreetravel

Would you love to play spin the globe with your partner? Wherever you land, if you’re interested in traveling there and need a Travel Advisor, dm me and from there we can see if we’re a fit to work together. What a cool surprise this could be for your special someone 🎉🎊

Hear me out: I don’t know everything. As much as I wish I could, it’s not possible. The more I grow, the more I build my network of fellow Travel Advisors and relationships with suppliers and tour operators, also factoring in my own travels. (I’ve solo traveled to 4 continents.) This network allows me to have the best access to current trends, travel information, airport updates, and more details like trying new fine dining for example. There are so many upsides to hiring a Travel Advisor for your vacation, an investment in your earned money is well worth the service of an expert. #travel #traveltips #luxurytraveladvisor #bucketlisttravel #stressfreetravel

These travel disasters can absolutely be prevented. One person has been doing a disservice to their clients and the industry but there are important lessons here so this doesn’t happen to you. Specifically: 1. Your Travel Advisor should inform you where the payments are going and what their statement should read. Generally the only time payment goes directly to the Travel Advisor is for a planning amount, unless some specialized (non package) trips may require this but that should be communicated to you beforehand. 2. Your Travel Advisor should provide you with receipt of payment from the vendor with payment confirmation numbers, usually sent via email. 3. Your Travel Advisor should use an encrypted site when sending sensitive information like credit card details. 4. Your Travel Advisor should explain all details of your trip including any travel information specific to that country, this may include things such as mandatory vaccinations etc. Keep in mind that ultimately you are responsible for following through with the requirements and that Travel Advisors provide advice but cannot guarantee there will be no issues. 5. Your Travel Advisor should be accessible in case of emergency. 6. Your Travel Advisor should ideally schedule a call with you shortly before leaving to confirm all last details and answer any questions you may have. 7. In case of the cruisers being left behind in Africa, they were over 1.5 hours late and they chose an excursion not affiliated by the cruise line. In short, they planned a mini adventure with an entity that was not involved with the cruise line.
