Tatum's Tailored Trips

If you work remotely and your kids are homeschooling AND you're dreaming about getting away to some Vitamin D you might want to think about the chance to take an extended stay at an all-inclusive resort. My partners have put together a package specifically for travelers who are wanting to work from the beach for at least 14 nights. Certain Playa Resorts (which includes 5 star resorts in Mexico, Jamaica and Dominican Republic) are offering the following bonuses - Automati...c upgrade to suite or interconnecting rooms (depending on resort and availability) to provide ample space for a lengthy stay Dedicated, shared office space with high-speed Wi-Fi Onsite IT support Complimentary laundry services Personal fitness trainer (3 sessions per week) Select 50-minute facial and body spa treatments (2 sessions per week) Private cabana access on Saturdays and Sundays Personalized activities and educational experiences for children Safe, quiet shared space for students learning remotely Resort-specific perks such as daily guided power walks at Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall and childcare services at Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana Complimentary conversational Spanish classes with bilingual instructors at resorts in Mexico and the Dominican Republic If you're thinking you might like to get away for awhile, send me a message so we can talk about all of the details involved to see if this is the right time for you to travel, or not.

If now isn't the perfect time to rethink how we travel and why ... I don't know when would be. Are you ready to RETravel? The message of this video - from an amazing Canadian company called G Adventures. They are hosting conversations about what travel COULD be if we refocus as things return. The last conversation was with Jane Goodall! Let me know if you're interested in watching a replay of that conversation or if you'd like to join the next one. I'll send you a simple li...nk to follow. #gadventures #travel

If you waded your way through the ever changing terms and conditions during the last 8 months of travel, you might totally get what Sarah is feeling right now that it's all finally settled. Having planned and dreamed about a special trip with her kids, Sarah Coyle is pretty disappointed to not feel comfortable with the idea of jetting off to Cancun at the end of the month. Though that disappointment is very real right now, Sarah says she's looking forward to working with me ...again in the future. We have been in contact frequently throughout the Covid situation and more often as it neared time to put down the final payment on this trip. With some back and forth emails, and calls to my travel partners, we were able to get a travel credit in place for Sarah and her family. It's ready and waiting for her when she's ready to travel again. Sarah said "Thank you again for your hard work during this unprecedented time. Your patience and professionalism is greatly appreciated ." And Thank-You Sarah for sticking it out with me even while I didn't have all of the answers or solutions to get you the trip as you had hoped. I'm happy you have your credit in place and am here to guide you through the next travel planning experience - whenever you're ready! Do you have travel credits with your name on them like Sarah does?

Last year this is what it was like for me to gain knowledge to share with my clients as I guided them through their travel plans. This year I am attending a multi-day conference virtually. The focus is the same - I am learning everything I can so that I can guide you through planning and taking your vacations. Trip planning has taken on a bit of a different flavour lately and so I'm diving in to understand the current protocols, terms and conditions like never before. Hopefully I can help eliminate as many unhappy surprises as possible for my clients.

Do you do family Halloween costumes? I've never done it so I'm very impressed by those that do. Would love to see your costumes in this thread if you'd like to share!

Remembering a super happy travel time and dreaming about the next one. Join me - I'd love to see your happy travel memories. This is a picture of me in at Victoria Falls in Zambia. I was completely soaked from the spray of the falls and had to take my glasses off 'cause they were so wet and I couldn't see. But then, my eyesight isn't great so then I still couldn't see. Lol. Sometimes its the simple things I remember and make me laugh. How about you?
