I am SO thankful for all my wonderful clients. I love seeing your photos, hearing your stories, and having a small part in creating your memories. Merry Christmas!!
Where are my clients this week? Painted desert, golf, resorts, and the gateway to Sedona...Phoenix. I have clients there now celebrating Christmas in a warmer locale. What a great way to spend the holidays!
Milestones are worth celebrating! Babymoons are a great chance to connect, recharge, get some pampering, and celebrate a growing family before the newest miracle arrives.
Confessions of a travel tip junkie: Walk a few extra blocks outside of major tourist areas to find better food. You will usually find cheaper, better food. If a restaurant is busy with locals...you have come to the right place.
Savannah is such a historical, beautiful city. Great for shopping, eating, and enjoying the Southern pace of life. I have clients getting ready for a specialized historical civil war walking tour. I can't wait to hear about it!
Confessions of a travel tip junkie: So much can happen on trips that you want to remember. However, on packed trips with lots to do and see, reflective journaling may not be on the timetable. At the end of a trip day, I often make a list of short phrases, even on my phone, of the highlights and memories from that day. Those are usually enough to jog my memory at a later date when I want to explain photos or remember interesting details. They can also be read quickly so you are more likely to read them again later.
Confessions of a travel tip junkie: Take ear plugs. At home, you may sleep like a toddler on sedatives after swimming for 5 hours. But on the road that unfamiliar room with new, loud noises (or partying neighbors) can shake even the best sleepers. Nothing ruins trips like being overtired. Pack the ear plugs...just in case.
Confessions of a Travel Tip Junkie: Some tap water/free restaurant water is gross. Staying hydrated is important while traveling. Enter in: the filtered straw. if you have a water bottle with a filtered straw, you can avoid the gross water taste and high prices for buying water. Everybody wins.
Confessions of a travel tip junkie: Take small bills for tipping. I have to diligently remember this when I travel. I am the queen of never having cash or never having cash in appropriate bill amounts. Before I travel, I get stocked up with a stash of small bills for tipping and other cash-only scenarios where having a $20 isn't super helpful.
Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit, Mexico. The Pacific Coast of Mexico is known for great culture and beautiful beaches...including some of the best sport fishing and wildlife experiences in the world. From whales, sea lions, and sea cave expeditions to the Malecon (boardwalk) and small colonial villages scattered along the coast, there is always something to do explore here.
Confessions of a travel tip junkie: Beware the free wifi. Okay, most people have some experience enough to be skeptical of free wifi in public places. Yet, it is still worth mentioning. Don't forget that your data and devices are often more vulnerable in public places and in free wifi scenarios. Be extra careful.
