As another year comes to an end, The Family Traveler looks back and is thankful to all of you for allowing us to plan so many amazing trips for your families.  We are so grateful for your business and for making us your travel agent!  We smile when we think about your families enjoying so many wonderful getaways, both near and far. Travel with loved ones and friends creates ever lasting memories.   With great sadness, we remember four of our dear clients who lost battles with cancer this year.  We hope the next year brings their families great strength as they remember the unique and special experiences their family vacations provided.  Our mom passed recently; so we too look back at the endearing memories created by our own family trips, starting with our laid back Florida Keys vacations and candy conventions throughout our school years, London, Israel, mother/daughter trips to the Greek Islands and St. Simmons, England, France, Italy, California, white water rafting trip for dad and his son-in-laws,  Jamaica, Amelia Island, Naples, New York City, Skytop and more.  So many amazing memories, laughs and shared experiences that help keep our family strong.   Thanks especially to our dad for making it happen.  Rest in peace Rosemary, Staci, Charlie, Mike, and also to Carolyn, our beloved mother. Happy holidays and a healthy and happy New Year to you all.
