Why Do You Travel?

Millions take to the skies for business, but according to Fortune magazine, 54% of US employees still have vacation time left over at the end of the year. In all, Americans throw away 662 million vacation days! To me, that is insane. I basically live for my vacations. After my mortgage, bills, and necessities, … Continue reading Why Do You Travel?

Boston to the Bahamas, via Munich?

A lot of people bring nice fluffy, quick reads on vacation, I usually bring a couple myself. Most of the time I bring at least one serious book on a trip.

Harris is … Continue reading Boston to the Bahamas, via Munich?

My Love of Bond

I love James Bond. I love the books and the movies, and pretty much anything associated. I have loved Bond since I was a little kid. TNT and TBS used to have Bond-a-thons on the holidays. A couple of years they ran a two week one from Christmas to the end of New Year’s week. We would watch them every Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. … Continue reading My Love of Bond

I live in York, Pennsylvania and love traveling to Europe. My love for traveling began as a teenager when I visited Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. It was a special trip with my mom for my high school graduation. In college, I studied abroad in Cheltenham, England, which was an amazing experience that I will never forget. I even got to see Queen Elizabeth when she visited our town! I traveled all over Europe soaking up all the different cultures, history and food. I’ve since traveled to 30 countries, 15 of them in Europe, and I have loved every moment of my adventures!

I keep going back to Europe to discover all the hidden gems it has to offer.

Do you want to take a river cruise in Northern France to explore Paris, Normandy, and Monet’s house and gardens? Do you want to cruise the Rhine in luxury to explore the Alsace wine region or the beautiful castles on the banks of the river? Do you want to explore Great Britain and soak it all in?

I can help you visit the most scenic castles in Ireland or enjoy a walking tour of the greatest chocolatiers in Belgium. If you want to go on a lovely European river cruise, I’ll help you choose the right cruise line and itinerary so you have the dream trip you have imagined. I’ll even help you extend the trip on either end of the river cruise so you can immerse yourself more with the culture. I can create an itinerary that includes all the things you want to do and maybe some special experiences you didn’t know existed. Maybe you never knew you could participate in falconry and fly your own hawk or snow barn owl at Ashford Castle, but now it’s the thing you are most looking forward to on your trip. When crafting your itinerary I’ll make sure you have enough time at each destination so you never feel rushed or stressed. I also advise you on special events and exclusive activities to experience in your free time to make the most of your journey. 

I became a travel advisor because I wanted to help people have the best trips imaginable, and I’ll work hard to ensure you will create memories for a lifetime on every vacation. Your trip is important to me. I provide a high level of service so you can enjoy an extraordinary experience that inspires you to explore the world. Why? Because I truly care about my clients and their trips.

I specialize in luxury travel to Great Britain, Europe, plus many other incredible destinations. I book luxury river cruises, ocean cruises, group tours, custom trips, and more. I work with all types of travelers from couples to groups, families, and those traveling for special events.

I’m certified with many leading entities and destinations including:

• Viking River and Ocean Cruises
• Avalon Waterways
• AmaWaterways

With years of experience booking travel to Europe, I will help you choose the best itinerary on a group tour or river cruise.  I can also create a customized trip for you.

I’ve seen my wife enjoy helping people plan their trips and I’ve joined Kate’s World Travel so that I can help others plan their vacations as well. I live in York, Pennsylvania with my wife, Kate, and our two dogs, Wesley and Bruce.

I specialize in travel to Caribbean destinations, Disney World, Disney Cruises, and Universal Studios. I stay up to date on all the latest changes and offers to Disney World and Universal Studios. I help my clients save time and money on their trips so they can focus on having a wonderful time making memories. I provide advice on the best time of year to visit Disney World, how to save money, and how to decrease the time spent waiting in line.

Meet Maggie

I am a retired teacher who lives in Hanover, Pennsylvania, with my husband, Heath. I have always loved traveling and am a regular visitor to Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, and I have cruised to the Caribbean, Bahamas, Bermuda and Alaska to name a few destinations. My husband and I also enjoy visiting the wonderfully diverse cities across the United States in the form of short three or four-day trips, and we usually try to take in a baseball game while we are in town. 

I have been planning vacations for my family for decades now, and throughout my teaching career, all of my friends and family were always making comments that I should pursue vacation planning as a vocation, since it is something I have always loved to do. Now that I am retired, I would like to help others make the same type of special memories that I have had the pleasure to make for myself and my family.. 

When I learned about Kate’s World Travel, I reached out to her, and I was warmly accepted  as part of Kate’s World Travel Family.

I specialize in planning multi-generational family vacations to Disney destinations, Universal Studios Florida, and cruises, as well as short, 2-4 day ‘getaways’ to cities in these great United States. I stay up to date on all the latest travel regulations and special offers from the major cruise lines, Walt Disney World and Universal Studios Florida. Let me help you by providing advice on how to save money, time, and worry, in order to make your vacation the kind of memory that you and your family and friends deserve.

I live in Gatchellville, Pennsylvania with my wife, Emily.  My son, Josh, is a professional firefighter in Frederick County, Maryland.  Beyond the beach, I never really traveled much as a child.  However, after my wife and I got married, we became adventurers, exploring the East Coast and looking for interesting tours, treats, and landmarks.  

We have traveled to Disney World and Universal Studios on multiple occasions and love each for different reasons.  Our family has enjoyed exploring America’s urban environs from Cleveland and New York to Nashville and Charlotte.  

Over the years due to the interests of my wife and son, we have visited numerous firehouses and libraries (my wife is a public school librarian).  The process to find these in and around the country gave me a skill for finding interesting restaurants, shops, tours, and landmarks to enjoy.

Seeing the passion for travel that Kate has in helping her clients find adventures around the globe inspired me to pursue also being a travel advisor.   Kate and Kate’s World Travel were very welcoming and helped me seek the training that I used and continue to employ to become even more knowledgeable and helpful in making travel for others be as much fun and exciting as it is for me.  

I believe when you vacation you want to immerse yourself in the local culture:  stray away from the norm and find unique experiences.  Finding this customized adventure and making your and your family’s trip memorable is what I can do for you.  Please reach out to see how I can help craft the trip that fits your budget and lifestyle.

Chicago Taxis are added to the Uber app!

When Uber rolled onto the streets of San Francisco, it promised a revolution in urban transportation. With the tap of a screen, users could summon sleek black cars to their location, bypassing traditional taxi services. Since then, Uber has amassed a dedicated following, expanding its reach to major cities worldwide, from Seattle to Paris. But the latest development in Chicago hints at a new chapter in Uber's journey—an experiment that could reshape how we hail rides.

SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): ComfortDelGro is investigating after a video circulating online showed a passenger getting into the boot of its taxi.

In a video posted on Singapore road safety Facebook group SG Road Vigilante on April 12, four young men are seen near a blue ComfortDelGro taxi at a VivoCity pick-up point. Two of them are seen getting into the taxi while one of them jumps into the boot and another closes the boot before getting into the front passenger seat.

In response to queries from The Straits Times, a spokesman for ComfortDelGro said: “We are aware of the video circulating online showing a passenger in a taxi’s boot.”

The spokesman added that “passenger safety is our top priority, and riding in the boot is dangerous and strictly prohibited”.

“We are investigating this incident and will take appropriate action to ensure safety regulations are enforced. We urge all passengers to only use the designated seats in the taxi and wear seat belts.”

The video on Facebook, which has since garnered over 39,000 views, has received more than 140 comments. Some netizens said the authorities should look into this incident, while several were certain the driver was unaware that someone got into the boot.

According to the road traffic rules in Singapore, the driver and every passenger of a motor vehicle “shall wear a body-restraining seat belt or a lap belt where such a seat belt or lap belt is available for use”.

When queried, the Land Transport Authority said it is looking into the matter. ST has contacted the Traffic Police for comment. - The Straits Times/ANN
