The holidays are the busiest time of the year for travel. For some, that means a winter vacation. For others, it could be traveling to see family and friends. Maybe you are the one people are traveling to see and spend time with this year. Last year at the holidays my team and I went on a Caribbean cruise. It was so much fun and something I think we will all remember. That’s what travel and the holidays are all about, creating great memories. What are some of your favorite memories of holiday travel?

A friend of mine is getting married and asked me to officiate the ceremony. Apparently weddings have taken on a new, modern feel. As I was preparation for my role in her big day, I received a request from a journalist asking me to contribute to an article on the new way to honeymoon. Wait… there is a new way to honeymoon?

There’s a saying that travel turns people into storytellers. I recently visited a relative who is in her eighties. She was feeling down and didn’t feel much like talking. Something prompted me to ask her about a trip she took as a child. Suddenly she came to life. The happy expression in her face and joy in her voice lit …

My friend Sven is a planner. He just returned from spending a month in Africa and before he got on the plane to return to his home in Sweden, he booked his next adventure, plane tickets and all. He is a planner. He enjoys knowing he has an upcoming trip, even if it is many months from now. It gives …

Some friends of mine and I were talking about taking a trip together. One friend wants to go some place sunny and warm, another doesn’t like the sun. One wants to go in the summer, another can only get away in December. You get the idea. The solution? We decided on up with the ultimate trip: We each pick our dream destination and I …

There’s nothing like a vacation. Many of us think and dream about our next vacation all year. In fact, I know people who plan their next vacation while they’re still enjoying their current one. It gives them something to look forward to. I know people who actually need a vacation just from all the effort they put in to planning …
