Spring Break!

Last March marked the beginning of the COVID-19 shutdown, halting travel just as people were ready for their spring break trips. This March, spring break travel is possible again! With extra safety precautions, that is. Your trip may look different but a year later, we can rest assured that we now know the proper precautions necessary to keep everyone safe.

I’ve been working closely with resorts that are taking COVID precautions seriously and accommodating guests accordingly. Airlines in the U.S. are requiring negative COVID tests within 72 hours of your trip back from any international destination. Several resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean are offering on-site testing for this reason, usually free-of-charge. If you do test positive, these resorts also offer complimentary quarantine stays with in-room food and beverages. Countries that do not require testing to enter (like Mexico and Costa Rica) do require insurance with higher medical coverage.

I feel for the travellers whose 2020 spring break trip was cancelled, especially because some of my very favorite travel memories growing up were made during such trips. I was lucky enough to get to travel to Florida regularly. I always insisted on visiting Disney World whenever I was in the state but I also spent a lot of time on the Florida coast. I look back fondly on the road trips we’d take to get there because my family never flew - half the fun was getting there! I also loved the trips we’d take with my neighborhood. We’d eat delicious meals together around the bonfire and play games by the pool. The adults would be off doing their own thing so my friends and I would get to have some independence. I remember looking for crabs on the beach at night with our flashlights.

You can have an equally fun and casual vacation in Hawaii (Hear why Nikki Dreams of Hawaii) . Hawaii has so many outdoor options for dining and entertainment. A condo stay is perfect for this spring break, since you aren’t totally secluded but you aren’t too close to anyone either. You’ll also have access to pools, lazy rivers, and hot tubs, all outdoors! You don’t need to retest to come home from Hawaii or from the theme parks in Florida. Disney World and Universal Studios are a great spring break option for repeat visitors to either of these parks. If you’ve been wishing you could have a more relaxed vacation but you and your family still want to visit Disney or Universal, now is the time to go. Lowered capacity at these parks means less lines and less stress.

Orlando Trip 2016

In October of 2016 my husband and I took a vacation to the Universal Orlando Resort and Walt Disney World. Nikki's detailed tips helped us out so much! Everyday we checked her lists and tips and did everything she suggested and had a great time with all of it! I don't know what we would have done without Nikki telling us the hints and tips of Disney.

Of the two locations Universal Studios was our favorite!! Harry Potter world is hands down the BEST place in the world! We truly enjoyed everything about it and it was great that our hotel was only a 5 minute walk to the park and 5 minutes to the City Walk! Everything was right there and it made it so easy to commute and enjoy our time without transportation everyday. Staying at the Hard Rock Orlando was a great option as if offered us the Express Pass for FREE! 

We would suggest that if you can, spend more time at Universal Studios! 2 days is a good length  to be able to do everything, but longer would be even better! For Disney World take advantage of those Fast Passes each day! It helps and will help guarantee a spot in whatever ride or show you'd like. 

We had a great trip! Everything was planned out and so detailed for us on Nikki's end we are so pleased to always be working with her on our trips.

Orlando Vacation

Nikki helped us plan a wonderful vacation to Orlando in June of 2016. We enjoyed making memories with our Grandkids and providing an experience they'll never forget. Nikki helped make our trip magical by providing us with a a complete itinerary that was easy to follow. She was available for questions along the way and even while we were at the parks.
