Happiest Holiday Greetings to All!
Festive times with family to spirited happy hours with friends, there is an invitation for every holiday gathering.
We’re all about ‘experiences’ ~ what about you?
Have you considered giving a loved one something to look forward to after the hustle & bustle of the Holiday Season?
Whatever your/their passions and interests, there is a destination & experience for everyone.
We tend to get caught-up in the frantic shopping extravaganza for just THAT perfect gift(s), spending hours of gift wrapping, and eventually witnessing a brief rip & roar unraveling and tossing those perfect gifts to the side. Sound familiar?
That was me (Denise) several years ago. Buying more, wrapping more seemed to be the answer.
And, then an epiphany ~ sometimes there is a a life-changing event that reminds us of what’s most important – our family, our closest friends —- and spending valuable time together.
‘Tis the Season – Iconic gift ideas for every reason, for every season! Whatever their passions and interests, there is a somewhere / something special for everyone.

Our recent visit to magical Puerto Vallarta was just one of those amazing experiences.
Puerto Vallarta, located on Mexico’s Pacific Coast, is an ideal option for a winter getaway spot. Whether traveling from Kansas City or another Midwest or West Coast city, it is a breeze to get to.
The destination also appeals to travelers of all ages. Couples will find a number of quiet, adults-only resorts to visit, and families have endless options of properties that cater to both adults and children. Groups of friends planning a trip together will be able to find high-energy spots as well as hotels with a laidback vibe.
Puerto Vallarta has a host of outdoor adventures for those who enjoy exploring while on vacation. Horseback riding in the Sierra Madre Mountain range, biking near downtown and zip lining through the treetops are just a few of the many activities on offer.
Those who prefer to be in the water will also find plenty to do – from swimming and snorkeling to jet-skiing, flyboarding and surfing. There are also a handful of unique experiences that tourists may not find back home, such as baby turtle encounters.
Puerto Vallarta is home to some of the most friendly people, and guests will immediately feel welcomed when they arrive and all throughout their stay. There is an authentic charm that sooths all of your senses ~ and the culinary offerings are amazing!
NEXT UP ~ Cabo San Lucas, Mexico!! We look forward to sharing more in our next Newsy-Letter for you!
Remember, there is always something to celebrate – and we remain grateful to have served clients globally for over 25 years!
Cheers & sending our warmest regards ~ Denise & Ashley

SHOUT OUT’S FROM OUR AMAZING CUSTOMERS ~
We loved working with Ashley and Denise from Travel Concepts for our honeymoon! We got married in October 2020, but knew traveling wouldn’t be a great opinion until summer 2021. We just got back from our honeymoon in Cancun and couldn’t have been happier! I called Ashley in February 2021 with concerns about traveling and shared my worries with her; she listened and answered all of my questions…again 🙂 When we arrived in Cancun this past June, everything was in order and exceeded our expectations! If you’re looking for a travel agent, Ashley and Denise will take WONDERFUL care of you! ~ Kara
We booked our spring break trip with our high school senior with Travel Concepts and everything was wonderful. In a crazy Covid year, it was so nice to vacation worry-free. Denise made sure all arrangements were made and left nothing to chance. We loved the Moon Palace in Cancun and can’t wait to return! ~Christina
