September 2025 Newsletter
Have you booked your Spring break or Summer trip yet? Spring and summer may feel far off, but in the travel world, now is the time to start planning. Popular destinations like Caribbean, Europe, and Alaska book up quickly, especially when families are coordinating around school breaks. Flights and the most sought-after resorts fill first, and booking early means you’ll have the best choice of dates, room categories, and pricing.
The Caribbean is always a favorite, offering everything from family-friendly all-inclusive to romantic adults-only retreats. For those dreaming of Europe, Italy and Greece are excellent choices in spring and early summer, when the weather is beautiful but the islands and historic sites aren’t yet at peak crowds. And if you’re craving adventure, Costa Rica delivers with its mix of rainforest, volcanoes, and beaches perfect for families or anyone who wants both relaxation and excitement in one trip.
If a spring break getaway or a summer adventure is on your horizon, let’s start now. By booking early, you’ll have more options, better value, and the peace of mind that everything is taken care of so all you have to do is count down the days until takeoff.
While I’m not traveling this fall, my days are full in the office. This season is conference and training time, which allows me to stay up to date on the latest travel trends, destinations, and tools to make planning smoother for my clients. I use this time to connect with industry experts, learn about new opportunities, and strengthen the resources I can offer. It’s important to me that when you travel, you have the benefit of the very best knowledge and preparation behind your journey.
I’m meeting with new clients to help plan their future trips. I have lots of in person and zoom meetings set up to get to know your travel needs. I am also busy planning for the 2026 trips that are already on the books. This means meeting with clients to organize excursions and other fine trip details. These quieter office months are when the groundwork is laid so that when it’s time for you to travel, everything is seamless and stress-free.
My other task this fall is to plan out the 2027 Travel with Anne Group trips. You guys have been asking and I am tackling that task in the coming weeks. Details are coming....I promise.
Destination Highlight: Hungary – Europe’s Hidden Treasure
Hungary is a captivating destination where old-world charm meets vibrant modern life. Its capital, Budapest, is often called the “Pearl of the Danube,” with stunning architecture, grand boulevards, and the famous Chain Bridge connecting historic Buda and bustling Pest. Travelers can relax in centuries-old thermal baths, explore Buda Castle, or take a river cruise past the illuminated Parliament building. Beyond the capital, Hungary’s countryside offers rolling vineyards, charming villages, and Lake Balaton.
The country’s rich cultural heritage shines through in its music, art, and cuisine. Traditional Hungarian dishes like goulash and chimney cake delight food lovers, while the thriving café scene adds a modern flair. Whether your clients are seeking history, relaxation, or culinary exploration, Hungary provides a unique European experience without the crowds of more well-known destinations. It’s a place where every traveler can discover something unexpected and memorable.
