Hey teacher friends! Did you know that you can get a teacher appreciation discount on Norwegian Cruises? 5% off + an Onboard Credit AND you can stack it with other promotions! This week, I booked a Caribbean cruise on the Norwegian Escape for a family of 4, including 2 teachers, to celebrate the end of the school year! They will sail in 2 connecting balcony cabins, giving everyone room to spread out, 2 bathrooms and real beds for everyone. Plus, they took advantage of promotions for More at Sea (beverage packages, WiFi, specialty dining) and other discounts available only for guests of Travel Agents or NYS... leave it to me to do the math to get you the best price so you can stop thinking about work, and just worry about packing!

Military qualify for discounts too. Reach out for help booking the best fit for you.

I had a lot of fun planning a romantic getaway to Aruba for a good family friend. These are all pictures that they took from their hotel and on their excursions including an Indian cave jeep safari with a stop at the Natural Pool (which turned out to be just the 2 of them), Spanish Lagoon VIP Cruise on a wooden schooner and Private Snorkeling at Tres Trapi with the "turtle whisperer" where they swam with turtles. They had a lovely time getting away from the winter and were even bid adieu with a rainbow on their departure day.

Aruba is one of my favorite destinations to plan. You can't go wrong with the beautiful beaches and consistent weather! Contact me at [email protected] to get more information about Aruba, or any destination.

I know somebody who is excited for a special holiday cruise this year! I just booked a multigenerational anniversary cruise for friends and found them AMAZING pricing available only to Travel Agents, saving them over $4300 plus Onboard Credits! With a 2+ week break from school this year, they'll enjoy a 9 night cruise after getting to celebrate Christmas at home.

Breaking News from Walt Disney World today!

Virtual Queues will be going away next week!

Beginning Feb. 25, guests can ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT via a standby queue or as a Lightning Lane experience. (Previously these rides did not offer a standby queue.)

So no more having to snag a boarding group at 7am and having to report back during a specific window. If you're willing to wait, you should be able to ride! And now there is no limit on how many times you can ride!

It's possible that Virtual Queues will return in the future as they launch new attractions, but as of February 25, there won't be any Virtual Queues.

Are you happy to see them go or did you appreciate not having to wait in line if you were successful at snagging a boarding group? Comment below!

Well we survived the decade-long month of January. And now that pesky groundhog predicted 6 more weeks of winter... little stinker. What can we do? Well, we can do what these clients did and get out of here! This is their current view from their room in Aruba. They've been enjoying 85 degrees on a beautiful beach, had a private off-road safari to Indian Caves and Natural Pool and have a private snorkeling experience and lagoon cruise on a wooden schooner. Anyone want to go? If this looks good to you (or any other destination that helps us look forward to something a little more fun), email me and let's get planning!
