PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Plan Now for A Dream Getaway

Michele Van Epps
Valentine’s Day serves as a great reminder to make time to travel with our sweethearts when possible. This is a wonderful idea no matter what time of year, but now is as good a time as any to start planning. What kind of trip do you want to take? Is it a romantic weekend at a hotel with a luxurious spa nearby or perhaps a week visiting the crystal-blue beaches on the Florida coast?
AAA Hudson Valley has a full-service Travel Agency. This means that our agents are here to help you plan every aspect of your dream getaway. AAA works closely with our many preferred travel partners to get you the best of the best when it comes to things like tours, ocean and river cruises, hotels and rental cars. If it’s a tropical, all-inclusive vacation you’re looking for, we can help you plan from beginning to end.
Want to stay closer to home? Good news, there are plenty of elegant and relaxing AAA Diamond Designated hotels within the Northeast. Fancy resorts with room service and spa packages make the perfect gift. Speaking of sweethearts, going on a Honeymoon is arguably one of the most exciting parts of getting married. A great thing about AAA Hudson Valley’s Travel Agency is our Honeymoon Registry. This program allows guests of the wedding to pay towards the couple’s dream vacation, instead of buying items like fine china and crystal stemware that may only be used a few times. The Honeymoon Registry allows the newly married couple to dream big and also plan accordingly. Even if they are unsure of their ideal destination, funds can be put aside for them and our agents can help make their decision when ready.
At AAA Travel, we love and appreciate each and every one of our clients. We want to make sure that whatever journey you take, it’s full of wonderful memories to last a lifetime.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Michele Van Epps is the President and CEO of AAA Hudson Valley.
