The Caribbean and the east coast were recently impacted by Hurricane Matthew. Storms like this have a massive impact on travel, and part of that is the uncertainty of which path they will take. Many times it’s wait and see if you should cancel your plans, rearrange your schedule, or sit tight and hope for the best. This week we’d like to give you a behind the scenes look at what we were doing in the days leading up to Matthew to reassure our clients and rearrange schedules.
Have you ever had to change your vacation plans due to weather?
One statistic that always surprises us is that 80% of Americans have never cruised! There are lots of reasons people give us, but we think it’s something you have to experience before you decide. There are lots of great reasons to cruise, and all of the cruise lines are different, so how do you find the one that’s right for you? What is included in the price? WIll I get seasick? What can I bring onboard? Do I need a passport? You’ve come to the right place to get answers to your questions!
How do you feel about cruising? Let us know!
We’ve talked before about the iconic city of New York. If you’re a theater buff like a few of the Outlander agents & their families, Hamilton may have convinced you that it’s the Greatest City in the World! Well, it has a lot of competition, but it definitely ranks high on the list. Elizabeth and her family visited again recently (and got to see Hamilton!), and since there is so much to see there we know there must have been some things we left out in our previous episode. So this week we return to the Big Apple!

We are beyond thrilled to be recording our 100th Episode! When we started recording this back in 2014 we weren’t sure how we’d keep coming up with new travel topics, but it turns out that new things are coming out all the time! From exciting itineraries, to world events, to bucket list trips, there is always something to talk about. We thought it would be fun to take a look back and remember some of the things that surprised us along the way.
We’d love to hear from you too if there is anything we’ve talked about that surprised or inspired you!
We are joined this week by our friend George Taylor. George has been a self-professed Disney nerd since since long before he started his own website in 2007. He’s been writing about Disney and other theme parks at
Imaginerding since 2007. He’s also one-half of the awkwardly handsome duo that is Communicore Weekly, a podcast that discusses Disney, Disney books and other theme parks. Recently, George has discovered his passion for roller coasters and has been traveling all over the Southeast and Central United States to experience as many as possible. He just started a
youtube channel and has been sharing his love for Disney, theme parks and roller coasters.

As travel professionals, we like to think that we have pretty good insight into what’s trending with travel. One of our favorite trips to help plan is honeymoons! Weddings can be stressful, but couples look forward to getting away from it all and relaxing by themselves after the big day. There are lots of options to make your honeymoon extra special, and we want to tell you about some of the cool things we’ve been seeing, so let’s get started!
Planning a honeymoon? we can help!

Sandals resorts are the ultimate in luxury all-inclusive vacations. Perfect for honeymoons, anniversaries, or just a romantic getaway, they offer couples retreats, excellent accommodations, a variety of included activities, and gourmet dining. Way back in Episode 8 we gave you an overview of all of the Jamaican resorts that Aimee, Sandy and Elizabeth had recently visited. Well, a lot of changes have taken place over the last 2 years, and Sandy and Aimee recently had the opportunity to visit 5 resorts in Jamaica to see what’s new. There is a lot to fill you in on, so let’s get started!

Last week we touched on Lindsay’s Fathom trip to Cuba. This week we wanted to delve a little deeper into what impact travel really means and how you can be a part of it. She was lucky enough to reboard the Fathom Adonia for a week long trip to the Dominican Republic. We want to pick her brain on the types of volunteer opportunities she participated in and find out of the trip was all work all the time, so let’s get started!
Have you considered taking an impact-type of trip?
