This is the year, “I am going to go where I always wanted to go!” Now is the time. TRIPOPHOBIA, the fear of not having any travel plans currently booked. Where do you want to go? Time is not waiting! It is 2020 after all.
It may be too late for a warm February or March, but you can easily and affordably go to a European destination. The far away and exotic are often warm year-round. Tahiti, Fiji, Southern Africa, Southeast Asia, Patagonia and most of South America just to suggest a few. They may be far away, but that may be why you have not gone. Air travel is not that bad! Consider how folks traveled before the steam engine! So let go….
Now is the time to plan your summer and fall getaway. Six months out will give you most options, but of course, 9 – 10 months is much better. I did my June plans in November and still did not have all the options I preferred. A family planned their Galapagos reunion in March of 2019 for a July 2020 cruise. They had all the options they wanted. You can plan too!
Most of you know I do a lot of Europe and go most often. But I have great resources for the rest of the world. Believe it or not, the more luxury you prefer, the further ahead you need to book. We also need to pay attention to big cities and conferences. Just because there are lots of rooms that does not mean they are available. Another reason to plan early.
Lastly, promise yourself and family that you will take all your allotted vacation days this year. We Americans often do not take what is there for us to take. Your company and job will be there when you return. And of course, you can always check in.
And lastly, too many good reasons to use a travel adviser to write now. The best reason is you will have the best itinerary and experiences. Call or email today for your travel plans for 2020.
AlwaysHarriet
