Cheap Travel ≠ Good Travel

You've been looking forward to this vacation for months. Between the multiple projects at work, chauffeuring the kids to baseball/soccer/theatre practices, and keeping up with the loads of endless laundry, you NEED the break. Since you have limited time to research, you book the Deal of the Day on a website claiming to have the cheapest prices. Flights to Mexico & All-Inclusive Oceanfront Resort for 5 nights under $2,000- what a steal! All you need to do is pack and relax....

If It Sounds Too Good To Be True, It Is

These vacation "deals" often aren't the value they appear to be. Hidden in the small print are details that can turn your getaway into a hassle. The budget airline might tack on extra fees for seat selection, baggage, and even carry-ons, with no guarantee you'll all fly together. Multiple stops could stretch a two-hour direct flight into a full day of travel.

Transfers can be equally frustrating, with limited availability causing long waits. Upon arrival, you’re met with unexpected per-person fees, a "beachfront" resort far from the sand, and a dated room with subpar accommodations.

Food and drinks? Limited options, lackluster meals, and bottom-shelf liquor. Even the amenities might disappoint—with the main pool under renovation and the nearest decent restaurant miles away.

These scenarios may seem extreme, but they’re all too common. That “deal” can quickly spiral into a nightmare vacation.

Use Your Time Off Wisely

On average, US employees receive only 10 days of paid time off. You want to get the most out of your vacation, and when you have a bad experience, you don't get a do over. You'll return to work stressed, unrested, and leaving with experiences—but not the kind you want to remember.

That’s why it’s crucial to prioritize quality over cost when planning your trip. Your vacation isn’t just about the destination—it’s about how it makes you feel. A well-planned, thoughtfully designed trip can leave you refreshed, recharged, and ready to tackle life’s demands with renewed energy and focus.

You Deserve More Than “Good Enough”

Your time off isn’t just a break—it’s a chance to recharge, reconnect with your loved ones, and create lasting memories. Your vacation should feel like a reward, not an endurance test. Whether it’s guaranteed direct flights, a room with a stunning view, or access to world-class dining and amenities, the right choices can make all the difference.

As Bill Perkins says in his book "Die With Zero":

"Invest in experiences, they will last a lifetime."

By choosing quality over ‘cheap,’ you’re giving yourself permission to truly relax, explore, and enjoy. My passion for travel is rooted in the belief that life is short, and time is our most precious gift. Every trip is an opportunity to celebrate life's beauty, to embrace new experiences, and to bond with those we hold closest. You work hard. You deserve a vacation (and a travel professional) that works hard for you in return.
