TRAVEL NEWS
MaryAnn Logan
Travel Agent,
AAA Halfmoon Travel Center
What is your favorite vacation spot?
I really enjoy escaping the cold New York State winters and sitting on a beach in the Caribbean. The warm sun on my skin and sand on my feet; that is the definition of relaxation to me! There are not too many places in the Caribbean I haven’t been to yet or that I haven’t liked. I love cruises AND all-inclusive resorts to get my fix!
Where have you traveled?
Australia, Europe, Hawaii, Portugal, Bermuda, Jamaica, Barbados, Aruba, St. Thomas, St Maarten, St. John, St. Lucia, Grand Cayman, Puerto Rico, USVI, British Virgin Islands (Tortola, Virgin Gorda), Mexico (Cancun, Mayan Riviera), Dominican Republic and Canada.
Do you have any travel certifications?
Alaska Tourism, Sandals, Australia Tourism, USVI Tourism, Universal Studios, Disney College of Knowledge, Aruba Tourism, Uniworld Grand River Cruise Specialist, Saint Lucia Tourism, all major cruise operators to name a few.
What is your best travel tip?
Relax and take your time while traveling to fully experience the sights, sounds, tastes and smells. Also, try to experience places you visit as if you were a local, not a tourist.
Do you have any vacation specialties?
With more than 35 years of experience in the travel industry, I have booked thousands of trips and vacations across the globe for individuals, couples, families, extended families and for entire corporations. Whether it’s just an airline ticket to Orlando or a six-month luxury cruise around the world, I’m here to enhance your travel experience no matter what you’d like to do or where you’d like to go. I’ll make suggestions that suit your wants and needs to ensure you
are totally satisfied with the entire booking process; from beginning to end and on to your next dream vacation. I hope you allow me the opportunity to do the same for you!
