A couple of weeks ago I booked some girls I know to go away on an Apple Vacations’ Girlfriends Getaway. I gave them pricing, recommended the best hotels, told them about trip protection, private transfers, preferred perks, optional excursions and everything I could.

They wanted it all - a great hotel, an upgraded room, private transfers, but no trip protection. I told them they needed to buy it for peace of mind. You just never know. It not only has pre - departure cancellation benefits, but it also covers you in resort. They said there would be nothing in this world that would keep them away from this trip….. Well fast forward a few weeks and it is almost time to go, and that nothing turned in to something. Something completely unexpected and totally unforeseeable happened a month before their travel date. Thankfully, they had the trip protection from Apple Vacations.

Whenever someone asks my opinion, I don’t give this as an option. I don’t feel it is. Everyone should take it. I always do. Apple Vacations Offers a few different levels of trip protection. Make sure you look into it next time you travel. I have said it before and I’ll say it again…. you will never regret taking it, but you may regret not.

Today we announced a very special One–Week sale to Palladium Hotels & Resorts. This one is extra special because Apple Vacations is one of the only tour operators that offers Palladium! So in addition to the exclusive product, we have even more amazing prices now too! Palladium Hotels & Resorts in Mexico & The Caribbean are really great for couples, singles and families. They have something for everyone. I have sent a friend on a “Family of Five” trip to Riviera Maya, since they could get one room for their entire family and not pay extra for a second room. They were very happy to save money with one room, and also to have their children in the room with them. I have also sent friends to both Punta Cana and Riviera Maya, who were couples and they had a great time as well. They liked the restaurant choices and lively atmosphere. Palladium Hotels & Resorts are some of Apple Vacations most popular resorts in The Riviera Maya and in Punta Cana. Click here for more details on the Palladium One - Week sale.

At a party the other day my sister in law said I might cancel my trip to Mexico, I don’t want to get sick. I said why stay home you might get even sicker!  Something like 400 kids called out sick at my son’s school the other day between stomach bugs and fall colds. I say get me away! Mexico sounds great.

I know the flu and water concerns may make people leery of travel. I say get over it.  That is my personal opinion. I’m not a doctor, but this is the advice I can offer from my personal experience. A conscientious traveler, who prepares and takes minor precautions, will have a great trip. I can honestly say, in my 20 years in the travel business, I have never gotten sick because of the environment I am in. Tequila, well that may be another story. But I do understand the concerns, I was worried taking my son away last year and packed all sorts of over the counter medications, but we honestly never needed any.

Keep in mind, your body is used to your own environment and any change it may have  - be it Florida, Europe, California or Mexico may make your system a little different. But here are some steps you can take ahead of time to have a worry free trip:  …Read More>>

Apple Vacations announces another one-week sale starting today!  This time look for sales at Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Mexico and Bahia Principe Clubs & Resorts in The Dominican Republic and Jamaica!  Both chains are offering some great discounts on winter travel.  For details click here: http://tinyurl.com/yjhlwak

Here are some travel tips to find the best pricing:

• Travel midweek. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures usually have the best pricing.
• Be flexible. Early January and late April typically have the lowest prices.
• Keep checking. If you look one afternoon and the date you want is sold out, check back the next morning. Canceled seats go back into inventory overnight.
• Go for a week! 7–night vacations usually offer the best overall value. Compare a 3-night to a 7-night vacation and you will see it may be worth taking those extra vacation days and staying for 7 nights.
