Stay Safe. Dream Now. Travel Later.
Hi, I created a video for you all and I hope you enjoy watching it. I had fun making it.
Hi I’m Kathie with A Happy Place Travel and today I’m bringing you a message of hope. As a professional Travel Advisor, I understand that traveling forms bonds with the places that you visit. Today we’re strengthening those bonds, by staying at home and choosing safety over travel to protect the world that we love and the people that we long to visit.
Travel agents have helped thousands of people get home and when this is all over, we’ll help thousands more travel again.
So to all of you globe trotters, and Outlander Fans, and Golfers, and loyal cruisers and resort pool loungers, and island hoppers, and museum goers, and culture seekers, and nature lovers and to all of you travel enthusiasts Stay Safe. Dream Now. Travel Later.
Because when this is all over, we’re going to enjoy a great vacation!
p.s. watch the video to see what I found in my Neuschwanstein music box.
What’s Behind Me?
In case you’re wondering, on the wall behind me is a map of Ireland, a map of Outlander sites (thank you Jess!) and a map of Scotland. Then on the top of the cabinet are more Outlander paraphernalia – a stand-up Jamie that I took with me around Scotland one time (what’s that called when you take pictures with that in them?), then a post card of Jamie (from Inverness Tours guide Laura) “WANTED Kilted or Nakkid” and a cling picture of some of the Outlander crew from Season 2 in Paris.
Need Help Dreaming?
Here is a picture to help you dream now of where you might want to vacation in the future.
What’s going on in the travel world?
I’m a travel agent and I think we’ll be traveling in the not to distant future. I’m on conference calls with a lot of travel suppliers. AmaWaterways River Cruising is starting in September, Disney Cruise Line has only cancelled their cruises through July, and Sandals & Beaches are opening back up the first week in June. All of this, of course, with new precautions and cleaning procedures. (More on this in a future blog.)
Take care and be safe! (And feel free to comment below!)

Kathie, hi there! I love the video. So fun! Thanks for the words of hope. This is such a strange, quiet, time. I look forward to exploring the world again, once it’s safe for all. Take care for now. Stay safe.
Hi Kelly!! I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed the video. Sometimes you throw things out there and you don’t know how they’re received. I cracked myself up making it – because I don’t think the Aran Islands are what most people think of when you mention “Island Hopping” lol!
Hi Kathie! I enjoyed your video. My daughter’s wedding got postponed from May 2 to July 10. That’s my main concern right now. Sure hope we can have it then. PA is still in lockdown and the natives a re getting restless. Our trip to Germany is off due to the passion Play has been moved to 2022. Carol L and I are soon glad we did our Outlander trip with you last May! So many fond memories!
Oh you were scheduled to go see the Passion Play? That is soo cool. Will you go next year instead? I’d love to go, but Hugh and I are coming up with a new Ancient Scotland tour (or 2) so I think I need to go back to Scotland again next year. I so hope you’ll be able to have your daughter’s wedding in July! I know the feeling, my son plays the sax for a wedding band – so I’m hoping he’ll be able to play again soon!
Love the video… what is SEO?
Thanks Cindy!! So glad you enjoyed the video! SEO – is Search Engine Optimization. You can write your blogs to be found easier or you can just write. Right now, I’m just writing (or posting a video with a bit of text in this case).
