We continue to offer all of our core services and benefits, including our preferred hotel and cruise partner programs that add value to your travel dollars (free breakfast, upgrades, resort credits, etc.) and our airline relationships and programs that enhance the air segment of your travel.

Recently we have focused on local and drive destinations and are working with our partners to enhance those stays as well. In the past many clients have told us they “didn’t want to bother us” for a weekend away. While never a bother (that’s what we do), today our clients are reaching out to us more than ever for those local and weekend trips. We have firsthand knowledge and experience of what you can expect. Our staff, as well as a number of clients, share so much valuable information that allows us to be even more proactive when arranging your travel.

In today’s travel world, information and relationships are more important than ever before. We want to ensure you are safe, happy, and comfortable. In addition to what we know beyond a website, we have also upgraded our systems and tools to provide us (and you) valuable information on the ever changing world of travel.

• What are the pre-arrival testing requirements for…?
• What are the requirements to travel to…?
• What are the safety requirements in…?
• What should I do in advance of my arrival?
• And so many more questions that we have the answers to.
• We know what you can’t Google!

When traveling today and in the future, making sure you have an expert that knows every aspect of your travel experience is more important and valuable than ever. We have the right connections to make a difference from when you leave your home to when you return, so you can relax and truly enjoy your vacation.

Insider Access – a few hints I want to share with you:

• 2021 is filling up fast, space is very limited. With all of the cancellations from 2020, many trips were rescheduled in 2021. Book early! Greatly reduced cancellation and change policies allow more flexibility than ever before.
• Looking for a weekend getaway or local trip?  Book as soon as you can, as many hotels are operating at reduced capacity and the accommodations they are permitted to sell are filling up fast.
• Apply your future cruise credit or tour credit to a future trip as soon as you can. Not only will space be an issue, but if you have any concern about the financial stability of the travel provider, you can only insure that future credit if it’s applied to an actual trip.
• For more hints and suggestions please reach out to us, we’re here for you.
