PLEASE NOTE
NEW PHONE NUMBER
951.202.2208

Due to our recent move, our 800 number is no longer available. We will now be using our cell phone exclusively for all calls. Please change our number to 951.202.2208. I apologize for this inconvenience. AT&T does not support 800 numbers and has told me that most people use cell phones so I'm forced to move ahead with the times.
Winter landscape,branches form a heart-shaped pattern
February is the month of love, groundhogs and lots of wintry weather. North Texas has seen snow and ice and lots of cold temperatures. Even Florida has had extreme cold. Speaking of groundhogs, do you know that Steve and I actually visited Punxsutawney, PA where Punxsutawney Phil lives and we had a one on one meeting with him and the Mayor! This was way back in 2003 and was quite an adventure but not one I care to repeat.

Cruise Line Updates...

Most cruise lines will make mask wearing indoors optional beginning March 1. Please check the cruise line websites prior to your cruise to keep up to date with current protocols.

Cruises have begun with very positive results. Passengers are having a wonderful time. Capacity on all ships is currently reduced and everyone seems to be enjoying this feature. Crew members are thrilled that guests are back onboard and cannot wait to welcome you as well.

The cruise industry is seeing a huge demand from people ready to hit the high seas. I've been very busy booking cabins for travel in 2022 and beyond. Cruises are filling up very quickly, especially accessible staterooms. I recommend securing a cabin now and reserving with a refundable deposit.

Please call me to redeem any remaining Future Cruise Credits (FCC's) so they don't go to waste. Covid Protocols are in a constant state of flux so call me with your questions and I'll try to help you navigate the ever changing rules.

On a personal note, I cruised three times in 2021 and was amazed at what a fantastic job the cruise lines are doing. Trust me when I say I felt safer onboard a ship than going to the grocery store or a local restaurant. Covid protocols are not merely recommended, they are enforced. Your enjoyment and fun will not be impeded by safety protocols. Call me to reserve your next cruise now.
New Trips for 2023 & Beyond...

We are anxious to begin planning group trips for 2023.
Remember, you don't have to wait for a group to travel. We are happy to plan a trip just for you!
Keep reading our monthly newsletters to know when new groups are announced.

If interested in a Baltic Cruise, Caribbean Cruise round-trip Galveston or land trip to Ireland; please call to get on the interest list. You will have first right of refusal for available spaces.

Have You Received Your
Vaccine Yet???

Time To Get Your Booster Shot!

While we know that not everyone will get vaccinated, we believe very strongly that this is the right thing to do. We need to come together so that all of us feel safe. I will require my group participants to be vaccinated for my safety and theirs as well as the safety of other travelers.

It is more important now than ever to get vaccinated and protect against the Omicron Variant. Being vaccinated and boosted is not a political statement, it is common sense.

PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU WILL NEED THE VACCINE FOR MOST TRAVEL.

SENIOR TRAVEL TIPS

The majority of my clients are seniors and sometimes require a little more TLC and extra planning. Read the following article for some good advice.

Be sure that all senior travelers are fully vaccinated and travel with their original proof of vaccination card.

Make arrangements in advance for wheelchair assistance at airports and cruise ship terminals.

Always carry medications and valuables in your carry-on. Do not pack in your luggage.

Purchase Travel Insurance.

We Do Individual & Group Travel
Do you know that we actually plan more trips for individuals than we do for our groups? We love when you participate in our groups but please remember to call us when you want to plan a vacation for the two of you or with a group of friends or family members. We can most likely plan any type of vacation you want and we will be sure to address all your accessibility requirements and needs. We so enjoy doing the research for you and look forward to planning that next trip just for you! Also, if you see one of our groups that you would like to do but perhaps the dates don't work, give us a call. We can usually duplicate the same trip just for you and your travel companions.
