Vol. 4
April 2006
Spring "Fever", Disney Celebrations,
Mayan Ruins and Tropical Breezes.... the
"Travel Season" is Upon Us!!

Well Spring has finally SPRUNG!  No doubt many of the friends
are preparing for a busy month of increased service with the
Memorial season under way.  The milder temperatures and
blooming trees has lifted many of our spirits, and it can be
seen in the number of e-mails and calls we have received for
travel!  This is a busy season for many travel professionals
because Spring Break gives you a taste of Summer, and gives
you a chance to re-evaluate your travel plans for the rest of
the year.  

This is a
GREAT time to take advantage of the rest of the
trips planned by WeeBee Travel for the 2006 calendar year!  
The 4 night
Disney Family Weekend happening August 24-28
is sure to be a big hit for the entire family!!!  And
we've
EXTENDED our expiration for the $20.00 per person
discount to May 1st.
 So take advantage of the savings now!  
If Disney isn't your "cup of tea" then what about the ancient
and beautiful Mayan Riviera?   Mexico has much to offer, and
we plan on taking advantage of it ALL on our
5 Night
All-Inclusive trip to the Riviera Maya, November 15-20
.  And
let's not forget our most popular trip of 2006:
the
Aruba and Barbados Cruise, December 3-10, sailing
from beautiful San Juan Puerto Rico.  This is sure to be a fun,
relaxing and fantastic week for island-hopping, and we'd love
to see YOU there as well!  So take advantage of all that 2006
has to offer....  because before you know it, it'll be too late!!

    Demonstrations and
    Protests Disrupt Travel
    in France

    For the first time in recent memory, the
    United States had to issue a travel
    advisory for France to its citizens, due to
    nearly 1 million protestors flooding
    streets, rail stations and subway
    stations, according to reports.  The
    protests were due to a change in
    France's labor laws.  Although the
    demonstrations were for the most part,
    peaceful, Americans were advised to
    leave, or to change travel plans during
    the late March stand-off, which was a
    busy Spring Break travel time.  No US
    citizens were hurt during the protests,
    and while several airlines cancelled
    flights into Paris, ruining many traveler's
    plans, things seem to be under control
    now.

Danger on the Seas:  Is it Safe to Cruise?

Passengers lost at Sea....Norwalk virus outbreaks...Fires and smoke...
Cruise guests die in a bus accident on one of the cruise stops.....

It seems that these days the Cruise Industry has been dealt a major
blow
.  This has affected even experienced cruisers, but most
especially staunch "anti-cruisers" who have long had fears of being in
the "middle of nowhere" or "lost at sea".   Being in this industry, I hear
both sides of the coin.  There are those that will travel NO other way
except by cruises.  Then there are those who will not set foot off dry
land.  The only thing here that remains are the facts.  And the facts
say that Cruising is STILL the safest, and most economic way to travel
to other parts of the world.  More safe than air travel, even more safe
than driving by car.  Considering the recent events that have taken
place, there have been little or no fatalities
directly due to a cruise's
mishaps, or by fault of the cruise line itself.  Cruises are also good for
compensating its guests when a major disruption occurs: such as
reimbursing the unused portion of the cruise, giving a free cruise to
its guests, or re-accommodating them in some way.   One inescapable
fact is also that, many of the problems that have occurred on these
vessels were actually a result of an individual or individuals'
carelessness on the ship, and not the crew or ship itself.

Truthfully, most cruisers will agree:  cruising is fun, affordable and
hassle-free.  First time cruisers usually ask us tons of questions about
sea-sickness and being "out at sea", with fear and trepidation!  But at
the end of the voyage, it's always positive feedback, and total
relaxation.  So in answer to the question, "is it safe to cruise"?  My
answer?  
YES!  And I can't wait for my next one....
