When the world shut down in March of 2020 for the global pandemic, few of us truly realized how long that would last. We’ve adapted: some of us picked up new habits like puzzles, some of us learned how to cook new things, some of us focused on family game nights. One trend that we […]
We believe that travel inspiration can come from anywhere, even those “get to know you” games that make us groan when the boss breaks them out in the meeting room. We thought it would be fun to do a version of “Two Truths and a Lie” with a travel focus. This week we’ll see how […]
We’ve all seen their commercials. Sandals always has beautiful beaches that look heavenly this time of year. When it’s cold and rainy outside and you see a tropical getaway, it makes you want to go asap. Don’t tell me I’m the only one! The Sandals brand is synonymous with excellent gourmet dining options, pristine beaches, […]

2020 was a rough year for travel. I won’t lie to you. With several new vaccines on the horizon, we have all started to have hope that we will be able to travel sooner rather than later. There are a few of you that are itching to travel now. So, with Spring Break coming up […]
One of the surprising benefits to this crazy year has been the recommendation that we go outside more. Combine that with the options for domestic travel, and it’s no wonder that National Parks have been so popular. Travel & Leisure recently published an article on Mistakes to Avoid when visiting and we couldn’t agree more, […]
I think we can all agree that getting a good night’s sleep is essential to travelling, but unfortunately that is rarely the case. Sleeping in a strange bed or no bed at all can leave you grumpy and with a short fuse. This week we want to share some of our favorite things to help […]
When most people think about exploring history they automatically think of Europe. But with travel abroad off the table for now we decided it would be fun to take a look at some of the many opportunities we have to explore History right here in the USA. From Sea to Shining Sea there are so […]
Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez is the unofficial catchphrase for New Orleans, Louisiana. The party atmosphere is a bit dampened due to Covid 19, but New Orleans is still on the map if you want to go. Even though Mardi Gras has been cancelled for 2021, there are other things that can be done. Elizabeth […]
It’s tough to know where you can go nowadays, and many Americans are turning to domestic travel. Here at Outlander Travel, we are no different, so for our agency meeting this year, we decided we had enough of the Zoom calls and we wanted to get OUT! So some of us fled to Miami Beach […]
Walt Disney once said that “Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world” Over the years we have watched both Disneyland & Walt Disney World change and evolve to better fit the world around them. No time has this adaptability been more apparent […]
Long walks on white sandy beaches, beautiful sunsets, and candlelight dinners for two – just a few of the things our minds conjure up when we think about Romantic Rendezvous.

Last week, we opened up the discussion about Heritage travel by speaking with two research librarians who shared how to get started discovering your roots and heritage. But once you do that, it’s time to plan your “journey to the past.” You’ll want to visit the towns and cities where your ancestors once lived and […]
We have all seen the commercials. How a man always thought he was one nationality and through thorough research found out he was mostly another nationality; or the woman who had been adopted and knew nothing of her ancestry, but found out through DNA testing what part of South America she was from. It is […]
News changes fast nowadays. We’ve talked a lot in the last few months about how travel has changed, and always have to include a disclaimer that things could change by the time the episode airs! So now that the disclaimer is out of the way, we wanted to revisit some travel restrictions to see where […]
We’ve been stuck in quarantine for most of 2020 dreaming about when we can travel again. While some of us have found ways to venture out, others are waiting until the pandemic is over, or at least an end in sight, to make plans. Sandy hasn’t even been to Pittsburgh this year! Are you ready […]
Traveling with children carries its own set of challenges. Gone are the days of sitting in the rear facing bench seat of a 9 passenger woody station wagon playing the license plate game. Depending on ages, length of travel and mode of transportation for your vacation, you may need a little help with planning. To […]
No matter where you live, there is a good chance you’ve been on some sort of lock down since around March. Of course we’re itching to get back out there!
