Greetings travelers!! I was born a planner which comes as no surprise since any travel advisor worth their salt needs to excel in the ability to plan. When it comes to traveling myself, I plan my itinerary in detail (easily accessible on an app on my phone) but leave room for spontaneity. I recommend the same to my clients. One
Greetings travelers!! How was your week? I escaped for a beach day last week and thoroughly enjoyed the change of scenery in a quiet beach town less than two hours away. If you want to know about this hidden gem drivable from the New York metro area, reach out! Lately, I’ve been thinking about my travel bucket list. It’s not
Greetings travelers! I hope you’re enjoying the summer as much as possible during this very strange time. This past week, I’ve been talking to people in different life stages – parents of school-aged children, people with teens and elderly parents who are “sandwiched,” couples with empty nests/adult children, and newly engaged couples. Despite having different challenges and months of shattered
Greetings travelers! How did you spend the 4th of July weekend? If you caught my newsletter last week in which I shared a story about being in Anchorage last year for the 4th, you’ll know that it was a unique experience. This year it was a bit sad staying local as I travel somewhere new over the 4th – a
Greetings travelers! One year and two days ago, I checked an item off my travel bucket list AKA Wanderlist that I didn’t know I had until the opportunity presented itself. Last summer, I spent the 4th of July in Anchorage, Alaska and had the very unusual experience of witnessing their 4th of July parade. We were in Anchorage to begin
Greetings travelers! I’ve been spending most of my non-work, free time lately improving my garden, enjoying meals with close family, and organizing boxes full of photographs from years past. Since I no longer have young children at home, I find this time can be more meditative rather than rushed like it was when life was more hectic. Yes, I’d trade
Happy Thursday travelers! With Fourth of July weekend a little over two weeks away, I’m feeling nostalgic about our last two Independence week vacations and wishing I had something equally awesome planned. Last year, we celebrated the 4th in Anchorage, Alaska (more on that VERY unique experience in the next newsletter or so), and the year before we were in
Greetings travelers! I have a personal confession to make – I regret that I never took my two sons to a ranch out west when they were young. It’s not that it didn’t cross my mind, but I didn’t have a travel advisor to inspire and guide me through the options or the wherewithal to make it happen myself. As
Greetings travelers! I omitted “virtual” before travelers because travel is beginning to open up with summer’s arrival. I spent time this weekend thinking about where we might travel by car later this summer when borders reopen, and 14-day quarantine rules are lifted. If you’ve thought about it too, you know it’s logistically challenging right now. Where we decide to stay
Greetings virtual travelers! How did you spend Memorial Day weekend? We worked around our property and grilled some tasty meals when the weather was cooperative. It was a nice weekend but a bit sad since not filled with the typical Memorial Day experiences like our town parade and pancake breakfast, trip to a beach or extended family backyard barbecue. In
