Stephanie is available to discuss:
· Do Your Research: planning a last minute trip means doing
your homework This is a great time to travel as there are smaller
crowds and deals to be had now that the summer family travel season
has ended.
· Look out for deals: sign up for e-mail deals with your
preferred airline Do your research online, but then call the hotel,
resort or cruise line that you are interested in – they may have some
really last minute specials that will make you even happier.
· Fall Travel Checklist Check the tourism board websites for
cities or attractions near you — many have fall festivals that can
make an autumn escape even greater!
* Road Trip Planning Tips: Before You Go and On The Road If you’re
taking a road trip, plan for rush hours as you drive. Whenever
possible, try to leave a little earlier or a little later than
everyone else. If you have two drivers in your vehicle, pace
yourselves (and your sleep schedule) so you can make better time.
· AAA, AARP and other travel sites have great advice for
leaf-peeping destinations and ideas for fall travel. Make sure any
clubs you belong to have your current information so that you receive
any printable coupons or deal alerts. (end)
· Be a healthy and smart traveler: Always pack a healthy snack
such as a granola bar or dried fruits. When you’re at your
destination, maintain healthy habits – just because you’re on holiday
doesn’t mean the kids can fill up on sugar and soda pop. Stick with
healthy juices and drink plenty of water.
· Find a fitness escape that travels with you. Whether it’s
yoga, running, or swimming in a hotel pool, plan for time to keep your
routine. And if you have special music that motives you, be sure it’s
handy on your iPod.
