Travel Tips
Traveling Internationally
Tip: Take a card from the front desk at your hotel with the building’s name, phone number, address, etc. It’s an easy way to get back to your hotel when you don’t speak the local language! Just hand the card to the taxi driver and you’re off! –Bree Moede

Traveling to Europe
Tip: When traveling to Europe, it’s important to remember that hotel amenities are often different than what you may be used to in America. The rooms are usually smaller, the buildings are older, and washcloths and shampoo are not always provided! –Natasha Persha

There is something for everyone in French Polynesia, with 118 islands in all. From beach bungalows, to overwater bungalows, to yacht charters, to resorts on their own private island.

Uniworld Christmas Market cruise on the Danube
Tip: While packing I was concerned about the cold and having proper clothing for winter weather and neglected to think that there could possibly be rain. So, my tip would be to make sure you pack waterproof footwear and outerwear. –Marsha Mulqueen

Traveling Overseas

Scotland Tour with Insight Vacations
One of Insight’s “Signature Experiences” was meeting a local farm family. We watched Neil Ross and his eight sheepdogs working at the same time all with different whistle commends; it was an amazing sight to see. They allowed us to sheer a sheep, feel the baby sheep and hold newborn collies. I must say it was a great experience! It’s also worth noting that the extra legroom on Insight Vacations motor coaches is wonderful! –Judy Schuh

Europe Travel
Tip: If visiting Europe for the first time, definitely consider an escorted tour. Having someone else worry about the details of the hotels, tours and transportation takes all the worry out of your vacation and you can just sit back and enjoy the ride instead of standing on the sidewalk studying the map, trying to figure out which way to go. –Kim Roethel
