Hello
As I sit here preparing this newsletter for you, I realize it's only been two weeks since we got back from our amazing Costa Rica Family Adventure with our toddler twins. It seems like a lifetime ago.
We fall back into our daily normal life routines so quickly. All of us lead busy lives which makes it hard to find the time to plan the next getaway, and the planning part is half the fun, isn't it?
What if I told you, you can be involved in the planning (the fun part) but I'll take away all the time-consuming work?
This includes:
- working on the perfect itinerary to see as much as possible without being stressed,
- finding the best hotels to suit your budget,
- suggesting the must-do excursions.
Wouldn't you hate to come home ready to tell everyone about your amazing vacation just to be asked by someone "Did you go on this incredible excursion to this most amazing place?", and you'd have to say "No, I have never heard about it". Well, no worries! That's where I come in!
I can plan your perfect vacation - at no extra cost to you. How? We travel agents get special net rates from the providers.
As it turns out often the best family holiday destinations in the world aren't always across the globe but right on our doorstep, such as Mexico, Costa Rica, Belize, Panama, and many more, which are just a few flight hours away.
Check out today's articles all about family vacations in Latin America & the world.

Travelling with a baby
Lessons and surprises when two becomes three
My husband and I, fully formed adults in our 30s when we married, had spent the last few years traveling liberally. We were accustomed to breezing off to Asia and weathering jet lag and multi-leg flight routes with aplomb. I wondered how we'd manage these types of adventures with a child, never mind a toddler or primary-schooler.
So at five months pregnant – back when sleep deprivation and postnatal anxiety seemed like far-off conditions that only plagued other people – I hopped online, transferred thousands of credit card and Amex points, and booked a beach holiday for our future family of three, six months after my expected due date.
