Travel Agent Diaries
Go Away -- explaining the difference between a tourist and a traveler
Lately, a lot of people have been asking me for travel advice. Not much of a surprise, really, what with me being a travel agent and all. My specialty is currently cruises, but I've been doing travel for a very long time, so I've gathered quite a bit of information outside of my niche. That's good, because the questions I've been getting recently haven't been cruise-related.
People are talking about general travel, both here in the States and abroad. As always, there are bubbles of civil unrest that it's probably wisest to avoid, but there's also this weird half-snobbery happening. I don't think it's new. People are avoiding seeing things and going certain places because, they tell me, "I don't want to…

Some People Insist On Shooting Themselves In The Foot
I see it all the time. Sometimes multiple times in a single week. And when I am party to it, I see red. I feel the hair stand up on the back of neck, and my heartbeat seems to shoot into overdrive.

Embark On A Cuban Adventure With Central Holidays
by Elizabeth Cody Tuesday April 28, 2015
The largest of the Caribbean islands, Cuba is a charming mix of colonial aesthetics, vintage cars, and a local musical blend that is unrivaled. During its heyday in the 1950's, Cuba was a popular destination for American tourists because of the distinctive European flair of the country. The architecture is exquisitely preserved from the days of colonists and Caribbean pirates, with cobblestone streets, huge, bombastic town squares, and opulent buildings. Beautiful beaches and crystal-clear waters top off all the amazing sights that the island has to offer!
