It’s a busy travel week here at Windy City Travel with many last-minute bookings coming in. It’s interesting to see so many people still booking summer trips—usually travelers plan six months to a year in advance. This year, people really need a break and family time, and rates have dropped significantly.
There are some fantastic deals still available, even for destinations like Paris. Just recently, a family took a spontaneous five-day trip to Paris, enjoying inexpensive flights and hotel rates that have come down a lot compared to last year and the years right after the pandemic.
Last-minute trips to the Caribbean, Mexico, Alaskan cruises, and Caribbean cruises are also popular right now. Whether you have four days or seven, spending quality time together as a family is important—especially when the world feels a bit complicated and uncertain.
For families looking for fun experiences, Dreams Resorts have launched a fantastic program in partnership with Master Chef Junior. Available at four resorts across Mexico and the Caribbean, this program is designed for kids ages 6 to 12, featuring activities like a mystery box cooking challenge at the Explorers Club Kids Club, poolside popsicle stations for kids to customize their own treats, and menus inspired by Master Chef Junior Season 9 winner Bryson McLenn.
These unique family experiences create wonderful memories and make vacationing together even more special.
