This week is going to be even more of a challenge as I am packing for 2 trips at once. A shorter 4 day one followed immediately by a longer 10-day trip.

PANDEMIC VS ENDEMIC

THE WORLD IS OPENING BACK UP
Who is excited with me? I had a moment of euphoria when I read that the United Kingdom has decided to remove the testing policies and quarantine rules to enter if you were vaccinated. This is like music to my ears. They are also removing the mask mandate (except on public transports and such) which is also great news. I saw visions in my head of life going back to normal after two years of wondering if it ever would. The world is opening back up people, it’s time to travel again!

THE PERFECT VACATION
So, what creates the perfect vacation for my clients? It all starts with a discovery call to learn how the clients like to travel, what they are looking to get out of their vacation and what will make it memorable and special for them. This should be the main goal of any travel designer. Those clients that are just needing a quickie Mexico trip or the best bargain they can find are probably not really needing the services of a travel designer/advisor. That’s what Expedia was created for. But if you want an authentic, off the beaten path experience, where people meet culture and immerse themselves in the destination, then you have found the right place to create a perfect vacation.
