Listening to Laura Avital (Mill Brook Travel) present at the Gotham Speakers Bureau yesterday, I was ready to pack my bags! </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Laura learned the business from the ground up having worked for the airlines - at JFK no less. She is also an avid traveler so she knows both sides of the experience. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Yesterday she shared plenty of insight and lots of tips. The bottom line is that taking a vacation is easier when we have an expert to guide us along the way and an advocate when things go sideways which they can.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">She shared fun facts and basic information - she thinks of everything one would possibility need to know and stays up to date as things change. I had no idea that Croatia was a destination spot for zip lining and wineries! Erupting volcanos in Iceland? I had no idea! It\u2019s illegal to chew gum in Singapore? Seriously! </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">And yes, it is illegal to hike naked in Switzerland. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">COVID updates? She\u2019s got the latest! What\u2019s the best app for getting through the long lines at the airport? How to deal with delays? Laura can help. The thing is, she does her research, is well traveled and, in true Gotham form, is available to help when we need it. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">For me, when I am ready to talk travel, the first step is to talk with Laura Avital for sure.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><img apple-inline="yes" id="F8ACA760-FB1E-4B40-B255-7E594D708841" src="cid:6F220FF3-460C-4D50-864F-926D0019BC96" class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">shelleygram\u2122\ufe0f</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Onward!</div><br class=""><div class="">
