Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I love gathering with my family and giving thanks. Of course the fantastic food is always a hit as well. Growing up our traditional Thanksgiving was spent on the Outer Banks. It’s one that we continue this year as well, away from the malls and frenzy of Black Friday shopping.
Our weekend will be spent, weather permitting, combing the beach for treasures, supporting small local businesses and of course sitting around the table, most likely reminiscing about our travels to the beach and around the world. We’ll talk about the destinations we’ve been dreaming about visiting “someday” and those that we would like to visit again.
Of course there are some great travel values that you can secure even before the Black Friday Frenzy hits, most will continue through Cyber Monday as well. The beauty of having a trusted travel professional, like any of us here at Slaydon’s Travel, is that we can see through the “too good to be true” offers and provide you with advice on whether or not that “deal” is really your best value, or will cost you more in the long run. As with any deal it still has to be the right vacation for you and your family. You’ve heard me pass along one of my favorite quotes before; “How cheap does a bad vacation have to be for it to be okay?”
Some of the better values we have seen this holiday season, continuing into next week and the week after continue to be fantastically low airfare to Europe, even during the Summer; free airfare offers on European river cruises through 2020 and even a $1 deposit offer on Ocean Cruises. Perhaps one of these offers will spark an interest for you or your family to start planning for 2020.
