Packing Tips/ Help


Don't we all need to learn how to pack better? I know I always over pack. Over the years I have gotten better at it, but wouldn't it be nice to travel with one light weight suit case. Do you really need 5 pairs of shoes for a 7 day trip?? How many outfits to you REALLY Need for a cruise? This lady really gets it. The checklist for packing is free. Some of her products have a cost.

Traveling to Mexico


Hello.. If you are are traveling to Mexico in the near future, many travel companies are allowing refunds on packages and trips that aren't usually refundable. Usually they give you a credit to rebook a trip with them later. So if you are feeling uneasy about traveling to Mexico, call your travel agent or company you booked your trip with.. Most likely they will allow you to re book a different trip.

Small Ship cruises


Are you looking for more of an up close view of the places you visit? Are you looking for something smaller and don't want to deal with the big dinners, shows, casino, lines, etc. Then a small ship cruise might be right for you. They can get into the smaller ports and places you can't see on the big ships, so that you can get to know the place you are visiting. Small ships are really a more personalized way to cruise. Let me know if you would like to learn more.

Europe is on sale summer 2009


Thanks to recession-induced price cutting, this is a GREAT time to travel to Europe. Right now airfare, hotel accommodation, etc are really cheap. Book as soon as you can. In the past you could wait for last minute deals. In today's economy airline and hotel "great deal" seats or rooms are booking up quickly. According to travel experts airfare to Europe is currently 50% lower than it was last year. Also the last summer the Dollar sank to a record low against the Euro and pound. I traveled myself during that time and it was really bad. This summer it has improved quite a bit. The dollars value is up 20% vs. the euro and 30% vs. the pound.
