Tara Salsman with Anchor & Away Travel, Dream Vacations

03/04/2025

I wanted to let you all know that you might see a few changes around here! I am working to streamline my forms, documents, and communications with you.

✅Updated my FB name to include Dream Vacations
✅Updated my FB user name so you can more easily tag me with your fantastic vacation photos!
✅ New Dream Vacations website at tsalsman.dreamvacations.com
✅ New Travel Interest Form that uses a larger font for easy reading and links directly to proposals.
✅ New credit card authorization form that is still PCI compliant, but is now connected in the same system with your TIF, proposals, and previous trips.

Please don't be surprised if I ask you to fill out a new TIF or credit card authorization form-- even if I have a card on file for you. It will take time, but slowly all data will be moved to the new system and the old will be deleted.

Thank you for trusting me with your family's vacations!

Tuesday in Vienna was a lovely day wandering the streets! We didn’t try to see every sight, or visit every museum. We wandered and visited a few hotels (Rosewood Vienna and Park Hyatt). We had a fantastic lunch break at famed Demel pastry shop & cafe. We ventured into shops and explored.

The Alamanac hotel hosted us for a fantastic cocktail party and workshop! Then we headed out for a classic, cozy Viennese dinner— weiner schnitzel! We capped off the night with an apple strudel and a much needed walk.

Tomorrow we check out of the Almanac and I will board the AmaSonata river cruise ship- my accommodation during the expo!

A lovely first day in Vienna For the ASTA River CruiseExpo. I’m so excited to experience this city, learn more about river cruising, and then experience my first river cruise next week.

After my overnight flight from the US, I spent time walking the streets to beat jet lag and checking out a few sites to visit more in depth tomorrow with friends.

Had a fantastic dinner at an Italian restaurant and settling in at 9:30 to rest up for a full day tomorrow.

Follow along this week for behind the scenes info on my continuing education in travel, plus some cool experiences that I would love to help you plan for yourself.

I am gearing up to head to Vienna on Sunday! Monday and Tuesday I will be exploring the city with friends, and then Wednesday the Expo begins. After the conference, Scott and I will be boarding the Avalon Impression for a 5 night cruise along the Danube ending in Budapest! I am so excited to visit THREE new countries, and see what river cruising is all about.

I take trips like this for YOU, my clients! I want to learn more so I can build your dream vacation, and we all learn best by experience. ALSO, during the Expo, I will be meeting with a dozen river cruise companies, plus other operators that offer hotels and tours in port cities. So tell me-- 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬?
