Here are some tips from some of our expert skiers. When you head out on your ski vacation to the mountains, be sure to have some safe and hassle free fun!
The most important thing to being safe on the slopes is to have solid information from those that know the difference between a black diamond run and the bunny hill!

• Tip #1: If you are flying to a ski destination and are not flying into the actual town where the resort and mountain are located, and need to drive over a mountain pass to get to the ski resort, or back to the airport, check if the roads are open. Also, make sure you leave enough time for traveling over a pass in the winter. The roads can be snowy and icy, and traffic will be moving slowly if they are open. If you can, fly directly into the ski resort town. This can save you a lot of time and frustration getting to and from the airport.

Earlier this year, I posted about my trip to Walt Disney World with my then 4 year-old.

Well, we may just have to return to Walt Disney World for my daughter’s next birthday! Or mine!
 
Disney just announced a new promotion for 2009 - “Free Admission on Your Birthday!” – for both Walt Disney World® Resort in Florida and Disneyland® Resort in California.
 
Another tip I want to share that I think it pretty cool - You can add a Park Hopper® Option to your Magic Your Way® base ticket and Disney vacation package with NWA WorldVacations. So, if you are planning on staying for several days and going back to the Disney theme park, the Park Hopper Option allows you to return to the Disney theme park as many times as you want to go back, and enjoy a ride again, or see more attractions.
 
Happy travels!

If you are planning a winter vacation to a warm destination or just to your favorite destination, I highly advise booking your travels as soon as possible. There are many reasons and opportunities you can take advantage of when you book your vacation package early. Besides getting away from the hustle and bustle and looking forward to your vacation, check out the many other reasons to book early.

1. You can lock in the price now - With fuel prices fluctuating, many are anticipating that prices will continue to rise; so securing your vacation now relieves that worry.

My husband and I have traveled to Mexico several times and decided that we wanted to experience the Yucatan Peninsula as free spirits.

We flew out of Minneapolis on a blustery January day. A direct flight to Cancun, we arrived 4 hours later to the warmth of the Mexican sun. We rented a car and headed south. Who would have thought that just hours before we were in below zero weather? We peeled off our winter clothes and we were feeling first hand the Kenny Chesney song “No shoes, No Shirt, No Problems!”

It was Winter break of my first year in college. As my friends all went home to their families, Heather & I had a better idea for vacation. We were off on a plane to Germany to visit Heather’s sister, Dana, who was studying in Germany for the academic year and had a surprise waiting for us on the other side of the world.

One of the most memorable trips I’ve ever taken was to Alaska. I had been to the state once before, and seen the typical tourist things (Anchorage, Kenai Fjords, Homer). However, my new wife had not been and was urging me to return with her. I said that the only way that I would agree is if we could go somewhere that the typical tourist does not go. She agreed.

By March, we in cold, snowy Wisconsin are tired of shoveling snow, putting on our weight in extra clothing just to stay warm, and driving on roads that resemble bobsled slides. We’re sick of being cooped up and we’re sick of being cold. That’s why, when I received a phone call from my sister-in-law early in our marriage, saying they were taking a week’s vacation in Florida, I groaned, “You are SO lucky!”

A travel story by - Cherie L. Bob and I have been fortunate enough to have traveled to many beautiful spots around the world in our 36 years of marria…China, Japan, France, Italy, Mexico, Hawaii, and many cruises throughout the Caribbean; however, our favorite trip ever, was our cruise to Alaska. We flew Northwest Airlines to Anchorage, where we met up with our cruise representative. Traveling by bus to Seward, we were able to get our first glimpse of the amazing scenery and wildlife there. We stopped along the way at a wildlife reserve where we saw moose and black bears in their native environment. As we sailed the inside passage of Alaska, we thought we had seen it all, from pyramids to ancient gardens; from the Spanish steps to the ruins of Pompeii, but nothing had prepared us for the wonder of the Glacier National Park in our own Country’s state of Alaska! We sat on our balcony, speechless, as the great awe and splendor of it’s beauty surrounded us in an inexplicable silence, shattered by an occasional fierce crackling and crashing of ice breaking from the glacier. We spent a full day inside the park, huddled in our warm winter coats and rain gear, and covered in blankets out on our little balcony, unable to leave the sight for even a moment.

The Hawaiian sunsets are so gorgeous they actually take your breath away. The photo is a picture I took right outside a Hawaiian Island hotel room as the afternoon sun went down. I saw this beautiful sunset every day and was blown away each time. It is something I will never forget and decided to enlarge this picture to full-size and frame it.
