Ask Endora

Dear Alan,

I can truly understand your need to cram each country into a one week visit. More bang for your time so to speak. But how would you reply to someone from Europe who asked you if they would be able to experience the essence of California, Washington and Oregon by spending just one week in each state? That's what I thought...so to answer your question - if you want to experience many different countries within a short amount of time then darling, you must take a cruise. You don't have to worry about packing/unpacking, catching a cab, taking the train, getting to the airport, finding meals that everyone will like, spending just one or two days in a city and the list goes on. By going on a cruise your family will experience the trip of a lifetime and will love you for all the splendid memories you will have as a family together on an adventure you will cherish forever. Please make sure to contact Pat at pat@incrediblejourney.net for up to date cruise options to Europe.

Best Wishes,

Dear Just curious,

You really cannot logistically compare Hawaii to the Caribbean - the state of Hawaii is 6,427 square miles. It is larger than Rhode Island, Delaware or Connecticut. The islands are very mountainous and the extinct volcanoes have eroded so that they are covered with lush tropical jungles. Scattered throughout the islands you will find gorgeous waterfalls, precipitous peaks (on the older islands), large valleys, lush scenery, miles of sandy beaches, and heavenly scents that seem to float through the air. On some islands you will find snow capped peaks, on other islands you can visit the wettest place on earth. The topography on these islands can change drastically in a matter of feet. The islands are quite diverse and the best way to make sure you are visiting the island of your dreams is to determine what you want to do while in Hawaii! Then contact a Hawaii specialist so they can help plan your vacation with you.

Best of luck,

Dear Dazed and confused,

Yes, there are so many choices when it comes to hotels and resorts that it can become a daunting task of which one to choose. First I cannot impress upon you the comfort and satisfaction you will obtain when having a travel specialist help you plan your much deserved celebration. You want everything to be perfect so without hesitations you should absolutely have a professional help you choose properties. Now that I have made my peace, let me answer your question.

First, if you demand privacy, luxury, fabulous dining experiences, uniqueness and top notch service then by all means you should stay in a resort where you are on your own for food and beverages. If you prefer to know exactly what the price of your vacation will be prior to traveling an all inclusive will be the best ticket. There are some wonderful all inclusive properties in Mexico - it really will depend on what both you and your husband expect from a vacation. So remember, don't delay and call Joyce our Mexico specialist right away, jc@incrediblejourney.net
