It's Spring again...almost!

Hello, SO Spot fans. It's been a little while, but I'm back with some helpful travel tips. Spring Break is right around the corner and there are a storm of travel "deals" flooding your email boxes. Breathe easy, you don't have to sift through them alone. Contact your travel specialist to ensure you get the best value for your dollar. Why a travel agent? I'm glad you asked. We have the inside track on travel trends and what is really a travel deal.

As you travel during peak seasons, such as Spring Break, summer, and holidays, be aware that rates will fluctuate the closer it is to this peak time. For example, if you what to book a holiday cruise, you'll find that the price is much higher the week of Thanksgiving or Christmas than say a week or two before or after. Also, where  you go factors into price as well. Some places don't necessarily have a peak season. For example, Williamsburg, VA. While most families vacation during the summer, Williamsburg prices don't fluctuate too much, because they have a lot of out of town visitors year round. The same is true with Orlando, FL. The key to getting the accommodations and price you want is to book early. A lot of times the closer you get to your desired travel date, the fewer options you have and the more expensive it may be. The key is to book 30-45 days in advance.

Normally I end with a food or drink recipe, but this time I'm going to end with some recipes for a great vacation. Now until 4/3/2016 save 30% on each guest on any Royal Caribbean cruise.
