From the Desk of Heather Christopher: September 2020 Updates

September 18, 2020 By hctravel Leave a Comment

Hey friends!

I hope you’re holding up especially through the transition from summer to the start of fall. We are working on getting in a routine for our schooling situation and I am enjoying being able to not only plan vacations but see HCTC clients successfully depart and return safely. We are also making plans for 2021 travels across the globe and it feels SO NICE to have these conversations and design itineraries. 

In other news, let’s talk about what’s happening in the travel world!
 Below, I am sharing five articles to help continue to inform you and guide you in travel planning: 

  • Work-Cation/School-Cation/Road School are the hottest words in travel right now 😉 so we love this AFAR wrap up of what a lot of properties are offering you!  We’re working on a project to show you how to turn this into the year of travel schooling! Get your family out on the open road/open skies and help supplement your kids education and/or keep you from going absolutely insane with 8 hours of Zoom meetings a day.
  • We could all use a little extra happiness right now, right? Especially when it comes to planning a vacation. I love and agree with this this infographic by Happify Daily on how to maximize your vacation happiness! 
  • Where can Americans travel right now? You can find a guide by AFAR here. The CDC is also sharing travel recommendations in this article. 
  • State by state restrictions: You can read more about which states require what in this CNN article.

We also put together a blog post to help guide you through planning travel during the “c” times. You can check it out here and please reach out if the HCTC team can assist in any way!

This month I am featuring Noopur and Rohit’s itinerary! Last December, they flew to Europe to celebrate the holidays and their honeymoon! They started in Madrid, Spain before visiting Marbella, Spain, all before flying to France to ring in the new year in Paris. Their itinerary features a mix of beautiful hotels, cultural excursions, and a gastronomy experiences.

How fun that my own little town, Gettysburg, got a spot in Forbes Magazine! Check out their take on where to stay, what to do, and where to eat. I wholeheartedly agree with their restaurant list 😉

Looking for ways to upgrade your economy class ticket? Forbes is highlighting ways to do just that in this article. The HCTC team actually uses a few items on the list:

  1. Bombas socks are 110% worth their cost. 
  2. We love the clear under eye masks to help with not looking too tired upon arrival. 
  3. Using this facial spray in flight (or the homemade one our friend Jenna made us) helps keep our skin hydrated, too.

Our last baby is one. 😭 She has been the trues Our last baby is one. 😭

She has been the truest savings grace in the past year.

Brett and I talk about how grateful we are that God gave us her for the last baby.

She is a stage 5 clinger, sweeter than pie but always know exactly what she wants, has the four of us absolutely enamored 😄

I love her age difference between the bigs, because they’ve filled their role of big sisters so well. They want to help and care for her & she looks at them with such admiration. 

Today my heart feels so bittersweet. Grateful for a year with her, and sad at the closure of a highly anticipated season of life. 
Sending so much love to my side parting, skinny Jean wearing generation who are (slowly) coming to the end of our child bearing years and what that means to each of us ❤️

Before there was you in this room, staring at this Before there was you in this room, staring at this view (bubbly in hand🥂)⁠
There was a conversation between you and your partner. ⁠
Maybe it was panic and frustration that a honeymoon or much desired vacation needed planned. ⁠
Or pure overwhelm at the options you found on the internet. ⁠
⁠
Then there was the moment you found a travel advisor (hopefully me 😉) whose expertise guided you from picking a location to ensuring you received the very best view.⁠
⁠
It’s such a relief to go from trip-stressing to just soaking it in and not thinking.⁠
⁠
We’re here to help make your vacations seamless by handling the research, planning, logistics and worry 😘⁠
⁠
Link in my bio or DM me & I’ll send you our questionnaire so we can get started!⁠
⁠
⁠
Travel Tip:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Sit down with your travel Travel Tip:⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Sit down with your travel partner(s) and have a discussion on where you each want to go.⁠⁠
Reach out to ask me things like:⁠⁠
- what time of year should we go to "xyz"⁠⁠
- how much should we budget for "xyz"⁠⁠
- how far in advance can we plan for ____⁠⁠
⁠⁠
This way we can plan better together!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I'll mark my calendar when I know rates and details are available, you'll be better prepared to decide when a destination fits into your life best!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
All you have then have to do is look forward to it! :)⁠⁠
