I am often asked why you need Travel Insurance.
This is an excellent read and advice with actual examples regarding the value of Travel Protection and a Travel Advisor.

If you’ve been watching the news over the last two weeks you likely heard about Hurricane Beryl. It serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictable nature of travel and the essential role of travel protection. As the hurricane swept through popular travel destinations from the Caribbean thru Mexic...

My husband and I recently returned from our 2-week trip to Italy. I previously shared a recap of week 1 - here is week 2:

We spent several days each in Rome and Sorrento during our second week in Italy.

In Rome we stood in the Colosseum, walked amid ancient ruins, threw a coin in the Trevi Fountain, stood at the top of the Spanish steps, saw the panoramic view of Rome from Gianicolo Hill, and stood at the Pantheon.

In Vatican City we were awed by the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter’s Basilica, and the precious art displayed in the Vatican Museums.

We explored the ruins of Pompei and felt the tragic losses. In Sorrento, our hotel overlooked the Gulf of Naples with a view of Mount Vesuvius. A boat excursion along the coast with a visit to Capri ended our trip perfectly.

Throughout our trip, we used the high-speed train to move through Italy between cities. We spent part of each day with local private guides who expertly immersed us in the history and evolution of each city, providing insights that we would never have realized on our own.

Each city has layers of its own unique charm and history. We loved the architecture, the many Piazzas, sidewalk cafés, quaint streets, roaming musicians, hanging laundry, and of course the food – all these contribute to the beauty and ambiance that is Italy. It was a trip we will never forget!

If Italy is on your bucket list, move it to the top!

My husband and I recently returned from a 2-week trip to Italy. 🇮🇹

There is so much to love about Italy! During our first week, we spent several days each in Venice and Florence. Local private guides immersed us in the history of each city in a way we could never have accomplished on our own.

In Venice we loved the beautiful canals and bridges and the way they weave and connect the many campos and neighborhoods on the island. We visited the island of Murano known for its glass blowing, and of course enjoyed a Gondola ride.

In Florence we were in awe of priceless art and architecture and attended a hands-on pasta cooking class. We spent a day in the picturesque villages of Cinque Terre and visited Pisa.

No trip to Florence is complete without enjoying the Tuscany region specialty Bistecca alla Florentina - Steak Florentine!

And we made sure to cap off each day with gelato!!

Stay tuned for Week 2 of our trip to Italy!

If Italy is on your bucket list, move it to the top!

Where have my clients been? They have been busy making memories!

The M family of 9 recently returned from a weeklong stay at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. This multi-generational family visited all 4 theme parks; enjoyed an afternoon at Typhoon Lagoon; and attended a Magic Kingdom Desert Party with priority viewing of the Happily Ever After Fireworks. 🎆 J stayed behind and treated herself to a massage at the Grand Floridian Spa while the rest of the family spent a day offsite at Universal Orlando. After the girls had princess makeovers at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique 💃, they stopped by Sir Mickey’s to get Pixie Dusted✨ and have a photo shoot. The day ended perfectly in Epcot with a Princess Storybook Dining Reservation at Akershus Banquet Hall where they met many of their favorite princesses!

Celebrating her retirement, the V’s set sail on the MSC Meraviglia out of New York for an 11-night Southern Caribbean cruise. ⛴ In a Deluxe Balcony stateroom, their ports of call included the Dominican Republic; Puerto Rico; Virgin Islands (US); Netherlands Antilles; Antigua; and Barbuda. 🌅 They chose the Fantastica Experience which included extra amenities such as breakfast served in their cabin, a beverage package, free Wi-Fi, and discounts at specialty restaurants.

The J family spent 5 nights at Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter. Set in a New Orleans theme,🎭 this relaxing resort is a short boat ride away from Disney Springs, is centrally located to all the parks, and is the only place on property where you can get Beignets. It was D’s first visit to WDW so she couldn’t wait to see it all and L was anxious to see the International Flower and Garden Festival 💐and the new attractions and neighborhoods in Epcot. Thanks to using Genie+⚡️ each day, they made the most of their time visiting all 4 Theme Parks and experiencing many attractions. With the combination of the Disney Dining Plan and a dining card promotion, they enjoyed some amazing meals at several of Disney’s most popular restaurants.

The G family spent a few days for a quick family getaway at Disney’s Dolphin Resort. Located in the Epcot area, this resort is within walking distance of Epcot and Skyliner 🚡or boat transportation to Hollywood Studios. They visited the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood Studios and took full advantage of Genie+ ⚡️to reduce the time waiting in attraction lines. The boys enjoyed the Disney Junior Play ‘n’ Dine Breakfast with the Disney Junior characters. The family got a great view from their resort of the fireworks 🎇from Epcot’s new evening show Luminous The Symphony of Us.

The multi-generational B family of 6 enjoyed a week at Disney’s Saratoga Springs and Old Key West Resorts. The highlight of the week for Miss M was her Princess Makeover 💃at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique followed by lunch with her family at Cinderella’s Royal Table, located in Cinderella Castle!🏰 Enjoying all 4 theme parks with Park Hopper tickets and with the use of Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lane passes, they were able to experience many attractions by spending less time in lines.⚡️ Thanks to their parent’s offer to babysit, T & C took advantage of the extended evening hours in Epcot for a date-night beginning with a romantic dinner at Chef de France.

Thank you to all for trusting Coasters & Castles Travel- Sandy Fardie with your vacation and family memories. I very much enjoyed planning these trips with you!

The B’s recently returned from a customized 10-day self-drive trip exploring Arizona’s National Parks. Starting in Phoenix, they meandered their way through the state of Arizona ending in Las Vegas.

Their trip began with a couple of days exploring the Petrified Forest and the Painted Desert, moving on to spend time amid the beautiful red rock vistas of Sedona, AZ.

Next stop was the Grand Canyon Hotel in Williams, AZ on historic Route 66, making easy access to the Grand Canyon one of the highlights of their trip.

Continuing towards Las Vegas, they spent the next several days taking in the beauty of Bryce Canyon; Zion National Park; Antelope Canyon; Horseshoe Bend; Lake Powell; and the Hoover Dam.

C & E immersed themselves at each destination with miles of hiking and exploring the beauty of the National Parks – each one is unique and awe inspiring. In C’s own words “I am so grateful that E and I have the fortune to be able to explore our beautiful country”.

Curating this trip with them and watching it unfold is one of the reasons I love what I do - I am looking forward to planning their next adventure.

Thank you, C & E, for trusting Coasters & Castles Travel- Sandy Fardie with your vacation memories and thank you for letting me share some of your amazing photos!
