February

We are taking our second Disney Cruise on Disney Dream. This four day cruise departs from Port Canaveral and visits Nassau in the Bahamas and Castaway Cay. It also includes a day at sea.

Almond Beach Club & Spa

“Chuck, can a cruise be a all-inclusive vacation?” a prospective client asked me the other day. I replied that it could, but honestly it depended on what she considered as being all-inclusive. For most clients, they will find that a cruise is not an all-inclusive vacation. They choose to drink those beverages beyond coffee, water, tea, juice and milk. They like to enjoy a few relaxing hours in the spa. They choose to take one of the ship’s excursions when in port. They also have gratuities to consider which add about $12 per person per day to the final bill (unless pre-paid in advance.)

A life of oh wells

I came across this photo in my Facebook stream the other day. It has been posted by a friend of mine who had shared it from a page known as “Always Grow Personally.” It begs the question of “Are you an ‘Oh well’ or a ‘What if’ type of person?” My apologies in advance if what I am about to write offends you. I can never know if this subject has touched you recently. We all deal with what comes next in different ways.

I have written about picking the right vacation; what to do while on vacation;  what to expect while you are expecting to take a vacation, but I thought you might like these seven tips to remember before you take a vacation!

1. Notify your credit card company(ies) of your dates of travel and the places you will be visiting. Did you know a bunch of purchases even in a different state all at once can trigger a fraud alert? I once drove a Rental truck pulling a trailer with my truck on it and had to fill the tank every 2-3 hours. Multiple gas station visits in a day triggered an alert.

I wanted to share a blog post that someone shared with me and ask what you would do with a two week vacation?

The author of this article shared the benefits he received from his experience and wrote the seven reasons EVERYONE NEEDS a two-week vacation. I gave a presentation earlier today and mentioned this article and while looking around the room there was nary a soul who could fathom doing such a thing.

Take a look at the article and if so inclined share in the comments would you would do on a two week vacation. Should you be inspired to actually take a two week vacation, let us help you plan one that you want but desperately need!
