School’s Out for Summer

“No more pencils, No more books, No more teacher’s dirty looks” 

It’s that time of year again when the school year winds down and summer officially begins.  Have you planned your summer holiday?  I must remind those of you with children there is a good chance the first school assignment in September will be an oral report entitled “My Summer Vacation.”   

Your mission should you choose to accept it is to take your family on the vacation of all vacations. This is your opportunity to make an impression on the other parents; to take a well needed break from the hustle and bustle of your life and to give your kid(s) a vacation they will remember for the REST OF THEIR LIVES.  And no, visiting Great Aunt Norma doesn’t count.  Unless she lives in Orlando and Mickey Mouse is her neighbor. 

Check out Maritime Travel’s vacation hot spots for you and your family:

Summer with Mickey and Friends
Disney is always a hot destination for summer.  With Disneyland, Disney World and Disney Cruise Lines you can find the right vacation for everyone in your family.  That oral report practically writes itself…”This summer I met Mickey Mouse.  I saw China when I visited Epcot Centre. I will remember this forever!  I have the best parents!”  

Travel Tip:  Split the costs with another family.  Disney becomes more affordable when you can share in the costs of a vacation home rental, food and car rental expenses. Call your Maritime Travel agent today and ask about Florida vacation rentals and special Disney offers.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Okay so there are some of you who are looking for a more “educational” holiday.  Maybe your high school’er needs to get a leg up on Shakespeare.  Europe is a hot bed of history, architecture, literature, art and cuisine.  James Jr. just might be influenced enough to become the next Pulitzer Prize winning author.  “…I would like to thank my mother and father for the summer holiday in England where my passion for writing blossomed.”

Travel Tip:  Visiting London?  Pick up The London Pass and save some serious quid.   The London Pass gives you entry to your choice of 55 charging tourist attractions in London; priority access at the busiest sights; additional deals, discounts and more.  Call Maritime Travel today for more information.
