February 22, 2013 By Leave a Comment

emeraldisleEveryone knows that our city loves St. Patrick’s Day so it is no surprise that U.S. News chose Chicago as the 2nd best place to celebrate the holiday in the USA. #1 was of course, Boston, Massachusetts. But I bet there are several other places that might surprise you!

Emerald Isle, North Carolina and Erin, Tennessee know a little bit about “Irish Eyes Are Smilin’ and it’s not just their names.  On March 16th Emerald Isle will hosta day long St. Patrick’s Festival featuring more than 75 arts and crafts sellers, food vendors, clowns, amusement rides and other family friendly activities. They will have three stages of entertainment including Irish music, a beer garden and a Mr. and Mrs. Leprechaun Contest!Laurel Pic

February 9, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Edward Jones-001T’is the season to speak of kisses but in this case I am writing about free and convenient ways to pick up arriving passengers at our city’s two major airports.

The Kiss ‘N Fly at O’Hare International Airport passengers is an easy way to completely avoid terminal area roadways which can get congested during peak arrival and departure times. No making endless runs around the terminal or coping with no parking regulations inside the terminal.

Laurel’s Travel Tip: Un-Cruise Adventures a New Way to Cruise

January 17, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Un-Cruise Adventures ~ A New Way to Cruise

There’s a new name out their in the cruise industry Un-Cruise Adventures. This new cruise line was formed by combing Inner Sea Discoveries and American Safari Cruises.

Their fleet is composed of small yachts and expedition boats, each one uniquely suited for their distinct style of Un Cruise Adventure. A shallow draft makes them capable of nimble exploration and allows access to the places bigger ships cannot go. Public and private spaces are loaded with amenities and depending on the itinerary and date of cruise you could be accompanied by a well known Marine Biologist or photography expert.

Their itineraries focus on the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, and Hawaii but it is the Sea of Cortes that I am going to focus on for this article. Their 7 night cruise begins in LaPaz, Baja California on the Safari Endeavor. The highlights are an exclusive exploration of a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Biosphere Reserve, unhurried time watching whales and dolphins as well as a visit to the centuries old mission town of Loreto. You will enjoy snorkeling with playful sea lion pups, hiking along cactus clad rims and giant Cardon cactus followed by an evening BBQ ashore with music and storytelling. All of this with spectacular stargazing and the chance to see dolphins chasing the ship at night in the phosphorescent waters of the Sea of Cortes.

Per person rates begin at $3695. What a wonderful way to get rid of those mid winter blues and see an unspoiled part of the world!

Laurel’s January Travel Deal: Explore Hawaii!

January 3, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Explore Hawaii with Norwegian Cruise Line

The Hawaiian Islands are a wonderful vacation destination but the problem my clients often experience is which island or islands to visit. Although you would think that they are all the same, they really are not. Oahu is the transportation center with bustling Honolulu, scenic Diamond Head, Pearl Harbor, the informative Polynesian Cultural Center and plus other museums and beautiful sites.

Maui has a volcano to visit, great snorkeling cruises, a whaling town, the magical road to Hana plus great resorts and restaurants.

Kaua’i the Garden Isle is more laid back and boasts extraordinary scenery along the Na Pali Coast and Waimea Canyon, whale watching and Hanalei Bay.

The big island of Hawaii has a deep cultural past, active volcanoes, black beaches and groves of Macadamia Nut trees. How can you see it all???

If you have less than 10 days I often suggest Norwegian Cruise Line’s Hawaii Inter-Island itineraries which unlike many other cruises begin and end in Honolulu. NCL is offering balcony staterooms on The Pride of America for as low as $2089.99 per person for sailings on April 20th and April 27th. And NOW if you book through a Travel Leaders agency by January 31st you will receive a $50 shipboard credit plus a complimentary bottle of wine per stateroom.

Aloha!

Winter is definitely the time to visit Hawaii. The warm weather not only attracts human visitors, but also endangered hump back whales. The islands of Maui and Oahu continue to be the centers of whale watching activities in the Hawaiian Islands.

WHALE SIGHTINGS are GUARANTEED! The cruise operators are so certain that you’ll see whales on one of their adventures that they will let you go again for free if you don’t see these wonders of nature on your first trip.

Some of the participating hotel on Oahu are the Hilton Waikiki Beach, Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa, Westin Moana Surf rider and Sheraton Waikiki-just to name a few!
