It's that time of year....lots of planning and shopping and running and decorating....and many of you will be traveling! Here are some good tips to keep your cool this holiday season!

Holiday Travel Advice
Holiday travel can be stressful. Here are a few tips we have gathered to offer your clients during the season:

Arrive at the airport early. The roads and parking areas will be congested.
Pack light. If possible, carry on your luggage. If you must check your luggage, make sure you have all your medications, important documents and a change of clothes in your carry-on just in case you experience a flight delay or your luggage gets lost.
Pack earplugs, airports and airplanes can be very noisy with all the crowds and it will help relax you.
Don’t get “hangry’. Be sure to pack some snacks or get some food before you board the plane.
Ship gifts or give gift cards. TSA suggests you ship wrapped gifts or wait until you reach your destination to wrap them, as they might have to unwrap them to inspect it.
Travel on off-peak days and times if possible.
Travel early in the day. Flight statistics show that flights leaving earlier in the day have a better on-time performance. And if your flight is cancelled, you will have more options of taking a flight later in the day.
Plan for the unexpected.
Reserve airport parking ahead of time to ensure a spot.
Charge all your devices before you leave.
Pack your patience and maintain a positive attitude.

Have you been on a Viking river cruise? Or AmaWaterways? Or Uniworld? Then you know that the rivers can get crowded with vessels. Perhaps it's time to BARGE! Not on just any old barge, but an elegant "hotel barge" that plies the waterways those larger ships can't navigate. European Waterways travels not only in France and Germany, but also in Italy, Scotland, England and Ireland.

Contact me and I'll fill you in on all the yummy details!

Where will you find Daredevil's Peak? Or Dueling Demons, or Screeching Serpent, or Green Mamba? Definitely not at a Harry Potter fantasyland. When you add Splash Speedway, and Thrill Waterpark, and Splashaway Bay you're now talking about Coco Cay in the Bahamas...Royal Caribbean's newest Private Island port opening in May.

Leave it to Royal Caribbean International to create a private port of call where there are more activities than a family could possibly enjoy in just one day! They have taken this to another level - or maybe more. No wonder they call this Perfect Day at CocoCay - Just another enhancement for cruisers to enjoy.

When you are ready to book YOUR cruise, just let me know...I'm delighted to help plan YOUR Perfect Day in CocoCay.

Sing it!

31st January 1976, ABBA knocked Queen from the UK No.1 position on the UK singles chart with 'Mamma Mia.' Queen's single 'Bohemian Rhapsody' had enjoyed a nine week run at the top of the charts, by coincidence, Queen's single contains the famous "mamma mia, mamma mia, mamma mia let me go" line.

It may be a little late to plan a trip to Germany now, but perhaps this will tempt you to think about next year! Just imagine frosty evenings, sparkling lights, colorful carvings, and the fragrances of gluh-wein, or hot cocoa, or roasting chestnuts. Isn't it time you explored these wonderful markets??

In 1520, Ferdinand Magellan passed through the Magellan Strait and reached the Pacific Ocean on his way to completing a trip around the world. Today, his name is synonymous with discovery and exploration.

Have you ever felt like exploring the seas and the channels where famous travelers have been? Cruises can take you just about anywhere - even through the Magellan Strait - and the Beagle Channel (of Darwin fame). We did that on a cruise around South America...including a visit to Cape Horn! It was a fabulous trip -and I'd love to help you plan a grand voyage like that. Contact me...[email protected].
