It’s about that time of year to start thinking about summer and fall family vacations. And while I remain optimistic about more countries opening up, there are plenty of incredible family-friendly resorts right here in the US.

It’s time to dream of travel again, and to make plans to make those dreams come true. For my clients, this means looking ahead…

travel trends: mystery destinations + global scavengers
Two things appeared on my radar last Friday, both of which promise essentially mystery travel. 1. I had a press email from Global Scavenger Hunt, an “annual event” that charges $25,000/team of 2 for a “free” trip around the world.
