Stephanie Bujak, Travel Agency Administrator

Travel Tip:
“Whenever I travel abroad, I like to venture off the beaten path to really immerse myself in the culture of the country I’m in. While top choice tourist destination are great because they check off those bucket list items of a certain place, they just tend to be much more crowded and I find it more relaxing to take a step back and hang out with the locals.”

Favorite Destination:
“Grand Cayman Island in the Cayman Islands is my favorite Island in the Caribbean. Clear water for diving/snorkeling, beautiful white sand beaches, plus excellent dining and shopping. Don’t miss “Stingray City”, a sandbar in the middle of the North Sound where you can swim and feed the friendly Southern Rays!”

Favorite Destinations:
“Bermuda is my favorite place. It has friendly people, it’s easy to get around, and has wonderful beaches.  I also love Hawaii, specifically Waikiki on the coast of Oahu. I love swimming in the ocean in the morning, then exploring the island in the afternoon. Check back with me after I cruise with Princess in October to Ireland and British Isles. Can’t wait!”

Judi Franken, Orlando Theme Park Specialist

Travel Tip:
“When choosing a theme park vacation, planning is the most important part of your trip! Most theme parks are big and lots of walking is involved. Make a list of what you would like to do and prioritize. I like to check to see what special occasions (parties, festivals, and shows) may be going on during the year and pick my time to go around them. I find that preparing for any kind of weather makes for better trip. Remember, you can’t do everything. Plan out mealtimes and rest; adults and children both need breaks.”

Favorite Destination:
“My favorite destination is Italy. The country is rich in world history and architecture, not to mention the unique and fabulous food and wine throughout the diverse regions of the country-a foodies delight!! If time is limited, three must see city visits are Rome, Florence and especially Venice – a city surrounded by water in a lagoon in the Adriatic Sea. La Bella Vida!!!”

Keith DiStefano, Travel Agent Trainee

Travel Tip: “One of the first things I like to do when I get to a new destination is take a walk or even go for a run. It is a great way to familiarize yourself with the surrounding area. I’ve come across many stores, coffee shops, restaurants and attractions to enjoy that I almost certainly would have missed otherwise.”

Travel Tip:
“When deciding about your choice of passport document, I recommend always choosing the passport book. It may cost slightly more than the card option, however the book does not have the flight restrictions that the card does. Even in circumstances where the card is sufficient for your cruise/trip, unforeseen events can happen where the book can cut a lot of red tape to bring you home.”

Bonnie Barba, Travel Agent Trainee

Travel Tip: “I try and go somewhere new every year so I can’t say I have a favorite place. My one rule has always been if we can get it at home or eat there, we pick somewhere else—-usually local like a farmer’s market or a local shop, an Irish pub. Make a list of what you don’t want to forget (especially passport, meds and expensive chargers) and pack those in a carry-on if you’re flying. Anything you may have forgotten can be purchased. Also split clothes with the other person traveling with you in case one suitcase goes somewhere else. Remember—you’re on vacation, enjoy it and don’t let minor things wreck it for you.”
