Let’s talk about where you can go and for how much. First-please remember airfare is up almost 45%. So whatever amount you’ve paid in the past isn’t going to cut the mustard for the foreseeable future.
We also need to remember that USA travel is more expensive than almost anywhere else on earth. If you have a valid passport you’ll be able to take advantage of much more enticing pricing in exotic locations. Those are the offers I’ll be mentioning in this article.

I have always loved celebrating my birthday. Another birthday is better than the alternative, right?
Since opening the agency back in 2005 I have made it a priority to celebrate my birthdays at resorts. What could be easier? All of the fun, none of the work.

As you know we just returned from our first ever Signature Event, our private river cruise sailing featuring Tulip Time in The Netherlands and Belgium.
For weeks (months, in fact) prior to our departure, entry and “in” country requirements were changing. First we needed negative covid tests upon entry, as well as vaccination cards in all venues, mandatory masks in all public places, and an official health certification from The Netherlands government.

I admit to having rather high expectations from any Globus tour I join. I’ve completed dozens of them and enjoyed them all.
