For those who are financially responsible, a travel credit card can be a great way to save money on future travel. Specifically for those long haul flights to Europe! Here are some of the benefits of using a travel credit card to earn points: You can earn points for every dollar you spend. This includes purchases made at restaurants, gas stations, and even online retailers.

You'll look at photos. Read reviews. Research the beach. Compare wedding venues. Stalk TikTok. But there's someone else I want you to vet just as carefully: The travel advisor you're trusting to manage it. I've worked in destination weddings for years, and this is one area where couples sometimes don't know what they don't know. A beautiful website doesn't necessarily mean someone knows...]]></description><link>https://www.vicsvacations.com/post/how-to-vet-a-travel-advisor-for-your-destination-wedding</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a898ab2d586cd2fd663a9ef</guid><pubDate>Sat, 22 Aug 2026 11:50:45 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPdLoPDUliY" length="0" type="video"/><dc:creator>Vic</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[What it actually looks like to work with a travel advisor]]></title><description><![CDATA[Most people don’t know what working with a travel advisor actually looks like . And honestly, that makes sense. If you’ve never done it before, it can feel a little unclear. Do you send a quick inquiry and get a link back? Is it more expensive? Is it worth involving someone when you could just book it yourself? The reality is, it’s a lot more personal and far more strategic than most people expect. And for many of our clients, it ends up being the difference between a trip that simply works...]]></description><link>https://www.vicsvacations.com/post/what-it-actually-looks-like-to-work-with-a-travel-advisor</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69cfcf99f7044e6cf7ab48e9</guid><pubDate>Fri, 03 Apr 2026 14:41:48 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4quzWSgonw&amp;t=1s" length="0" type="video"/><dc:creator>Vic</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Booking a trip to Europe on your own VS. a travel advisor.]]></title><description><![CDATA[Here’s the honest truth about planning Europe. It’s one of the most exciting trips you can take, and also one of the easiest to get wrong. Because everything looks  amazing online. A hotel might look charming, have a great price point, and seem like a great location on a map. A tour might seem like a great way to “see everything.” A quick search makes it all feel simple. Until you’re there. You realize your hotel that looked “centrally located” is actually a 25-minute walk from anything you...]]></description><link>https://www.vicsvacations.com/post/booking-a-trip-to-europe-on-your-own-vs-a-travel-advisor</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69cfc950462bc80100bf07ff</guid><pubDate>Fri, 03 Apr 2026 14:14:06 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/d95b00_08749a1e8fca4107906c2800f4f7ce00~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_720,h_900,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Vic</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[What you don’t see online is what ruins your all inclusive vacation.]]></title><description><![CDATA[Here’s the honest truth about resorts. They follow the same marketing tactics as every other industry. Highlight the best, minimize the rest. (See example post here ) Think about a commercial for a Whopper from Burger King. It looks perfect. Shiny, stacked just right, every ingredient placed exactly where it should be. It looks like something you need two hands to hold. Then you open the wrapper in your car and… it’s not quite the same. A little flatter. A little messier.
