Dreams and Destinations Travel

Once again San Miguel de Allende has stolen our 💕. This city continues to make us fall head over heels over and over and over. Just one last magical rooftop evening before we say "goodbye for now"

Normally we try to fill our accounts with fun photos and loads of travel inspiration. Today we decided to talk about travel insurance though. We know, we know.... say insurance and we can almost hear the groans and see the eye rolls. Over the years we've heard a lot of reasons why clients don't feel they need insurance

“I’m going on this trip no matter what”
“My whole family is healthy, I’m not worried about not being able to travel”
“My health insurance will cover me if anything happens”
“I have insurance through my credit card”
“I have never needed insurance I’ve purchased so I don’t think I need it now”

We’ve heard all of these and more. BUT have you ever thought about the “what ifs”? What if something did happen? What if you did need it? Foreign health systems do not work like emergency rooms in the USA, you are not entitled to assessment and treatment regardless of your ability to pay. Your US health insurance in most cases will also not reimburse for foreign health care.

Have you researched your options? Are you sure your credit card has insurance to cover your package? A number of cards only cover rental vehicles and travelers may find that they didn’t have coverage for medical, trip cancellation or interruption when they thought they did.

Ask any travel advisor and you will hear story after story of the unexpected and how insurance saved the day, or lack of insurance created issue after issue. We all have a list of things we’ve seen happen that add value to protecting your trip. Last week though, one of our own got to add personal experience to her list of reasons to purchase insurance. Something as simple as a missed step with a trip + fall led to daily clinic visits, follow-up treatment in the US and medical costs that were higher than the combined cost of her few years of travel insurance policies that she didn’t use. Every day her insurer’s medical team checked in with her (thanks @travelguard !) And when there was a question of being cleared to fly she was able to rest easy knowing they would step in and get her home medically if she couldn’t fly commercially.

At the end of the day it didn’t matter about all of the other times she purchased insurance and didn’t use it. What did matter, is when in fact insurance was needed, it was there. So the next time you think of waiving insurance think about the “what ifs” and if you (or your family) would be prepared to cover the cost.

THEN plan your next trip and get that insurance! 🌐 ❤️

XOXO,

Merry Christmas! Wishing you and yours a holiday filled with love and joy! 🎄

Excited to head out to @turksandcaicos and @beachesresorts for 🌟Awards! We aren't just packing bathing suits and evening gowns though!

Did you know even on your vacation you can make a difference with @packforapurpose ? We had so much fun shopping for awesome art, books and school supplies. We can't wait to deliver these to @sandalsfoundation where they will go to a local school.

Next time we post it will be from one of our fav resorts on an island where there is #nofilterneeded ❤️ #TGIF y'all!

Do you know when you purchase a vacation from a large, internationally known, online travel site you are actually purchasing from a virtual travel agency? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why not purchase that same vacation through a local travel agency and support a small business who takes the time to really get to know you and your travel preferences? A local business who cares about and gives back to their community? A business who always has you in mind when they are looking for the best experience for the best value? Did you know many local travel agencies price as good, if not better than the online travel giants? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don't forget to #shopsmall today and everyday and check out our stories this week for some truly incredible travel deals!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

@ShopSmall

What time did your Black Friday start? Did you just roll out of bed or were you scoring deals long before daylight? Still shopping or done by the time the sun came up? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our phones started ringing early today (don't worry! We brewed our STRONG holiday coffee) and we've been hard at work creating perfect holiday gifts. The gift of travel is always one of the best gifts under the tree!

"For each new morning with its light, For rest and shelter of the night, For health and food, for love and friends, For everything Thy goodness sends." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Wishing you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving! ❤️

Rain, rain go away! Talk about messy weather this week! Do you have 🌧, ❄ or ☀? Our gray, rainy Wednesday has us dreaming of last week and our favorite spot for a beachside nap @secretsmaroma 🌴💤

Last week we had a chance to celebrate our hard working Dreams and Destinations team of travel and destination wedding advisors, as well as our amazing clients who made us a #travelimpressions Best of the Best agency again in 2019. 🏆

Back in the office today and wishing we were still poolside at one of our all time favorite resorts @secretsmaroma 🌴 BUT excited to continue working on amazing trips to close out this year and fabulous dream destinations for 2020.

Speaking of Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun , we have FANTASTIC Black Friday deals so if you are looking for the perfect adults-only, all-inclusive vacation on one of the best white sand beaches 🏖️ DM us or contact us to get a customized quote.

Guess where we are!!

Hint: 🇲🇽

Hint: One of the top beaches in the world

Beach lovers don't worry! We'll be filling our feed with warm sand and turquoise water for the rest of the week, but we wanted to make sure our snow lovers had a little travel inspiration too. Even if you prefer sand over snow who can resist Switzerland? Home of chocolate, Rolex and some of the prettiest winter scenery on earth. Just the thought makes us want to curl up by a warm fire with a Gluhwein and watch the snow fall.

#Matterhorn #Switzerland

Did you know Chiang Mai is #3 on the @travelandleisure Top 15 Cities Worldwide list for 2019? Chiang Mai offers lush vistas, animal sanctuaries, ancient temples, amazing shopping and fabulous spa resorts. This city is definitely a must see for any Thailand itinerary!

Who has Northern lights on their bucket list? ✋ Depending on your preferred destination the best viewing season ranges from August/September until March/April so now is the time to grab your passport, parka and check that box off. ☑️

No passport? No worries! Head up to Fairbanks, Alaska (one of the best viewing locations in the 🇺🇲) for some pretty amazing aurora views + great odds of seeing them!

#northernlights #auroraborealis

Y'all we are the SAME temp as Anchorage , AK. Let that sink in for a minute. The Southeast is on par with the frozen GREATLAND. ❄️
#
Do you know where isn't the same temp as us and Alaska??? Hawaii!! 🌺
#
We are turning on the fireplace, putting on a second pair of socks and spending the rest of the day planning our escape. Mai Tai and Diamond Head views included.

When the forecaster says "chance of snow" ❄️ we hear "pack your bags and don't forget sunscreen" ☀️

Who else gets visions of white sand and turquoise water when the flurries start flying? 🌨️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Did you know in 2018 almost half of all Americans did not take a vacation?!? According to @U.S.TravelAssociation approximately 786 million vacation days were unused and left on the table! 😯
People who make time to vacation actually benefit from reduced stress, increased productivity and improved mood. We def want more vacation time in our lives. What do you want/need to make time for? ✈️🧳
