You might be thinking that this episode is directed at listeners with children. Well, not 100% There are also plenty of adults without kids who still don’t want to tell certain family members their travel plans until right before they leave. Whether it’s Vacation Shaming for taking the time off, or someone making comments about how much money you’re spending, the issue is real! So this week we’re here to help you take that vacation you deserve without letting others get you down.

Congrats to Chris for surviving it! From the Eiffel Tower to Disneyland Paris, there is a lot we want to hear about this week so let’s get started!

As you know, we here at Outlander Travel are always looking for new and exciting adventures for our clients. Well, in October it was Aimee’s turn to take one for the team. She and her husband Scott went to Europe to experience small ship, luxury cruising in Italy and France with Windstar Cruises. Her pictures were amazing (and she managed to find a Golden Retriever in almost every port!), and we can’t wait to hear about it!
