We have been a bit tardy in sending off emails lately but  there is a good reason for this. 
 
There is no denying the ongoing competition among many travel suppliers but, our intent is to inform our clients, not to pressure them. We have not wanted  to bombard you with suppliers "too good to be true" incentives .... especially those that initially have very restrictive booking deadlines and end up having very elastic deadlines.

After more than twenty two years in the family travel business we can, without hesitation, give you the following general advice...

If what you want in a holiday is "value for money", this is not the time to look for the lowest possible price.  This is the time to reach for the stars... the more stars the better.  If you are planning a vacation within the next twelve months... Book your dream holiday!! Go for it!! Treat yourself to the best family vacation you have ever had. You will never get it for a better price!

The truth is that almost all travel, including the "best" resorts, cruises, adventures, are at excellent rates as we come into the 2010-2011 season.

Here are some of our suggestions (two of these really do need to be booked by 30th August, so please watch out for that...)

If you want :

• A 5-star all inclusive resort for families with 2 connecting rooms and the best possible activities for kids from 4-17 years - book a Club Med Holiday... there are 6 days left to take advantage of their "WOW" sale... their best sale of the season with extended vacation dates (including March Break).
• A 5-star all inclusive family resort with reputation for fantastic food, service and activities for the whole family?.... A Beaches resort "on sale" - is what you want. Get more info and check rates via our agency's link to www.beaches.com.
• A 4-star all inclusive family resort with excellent family accommodation and personal nanny service for your little ones ? FDR resort in Jamaica is awaiting you at great prices if booked by Aug 30 '10.
• A Disney Cruise to satisfy your family dream vacation... how about 25% off a deluxe family stateroom with verandah?
• A Walt Disney World vacation with Free Dining, up to 40%-off the room rate, or a gift card (up to $500 US)? All three of these great offers have just been released; one has available travel dates right through to Sept 2011!
• An Adventure Holiday? Too many possibilities to list but this winter season will offer, for the first time ever, Costa Rica directly from Ottawa.

What else do we recommend for our travelling families? To mention just a few...

• A deluxe 3 to 6 bedroom villa by the sea with private staff who cater to your family's needs.
• An African safari.
• A castle stay in Europe.

What is your family's fancy? What is your approximate available budget to go with the dream? Tell us and we will provide your best match.  But, be careful what you ask for... be realistic... a budget of "as little as possible" will provide exactly that.

We look forward to hearing from you!
