Hello, We are Solshine Travel (Dave and Andrea) and we love to take vacations. Over the years, we’ve used travel to explore new places and experience new cultures. We’ve done staycations in and around our hometown of Chicago as well as trips to Vegas, cruises to the Caribbean and Mediterranean, and land trips in both the US, Canada and Europe. One thing we realized while traveling was how good it made us feel. We were stressed, bummed out or tired before the vacation. The second we got to the airport the stress and all our problems seemed to melt away. You could see the change in us immediately. As a matter of fact, we glowed! Yes, you’ll see it in pictures we post on this blog. We LOOK happy and feel great when we are on vacation. This got me thinking. When we travel, our soul feels great! That glow is our soul thanking us for the temporary relief from the rat race we deal in every other day. Travel soothes our soul!
Travel for the Love of it!
So, why are we writing this blog? We’ve parlayed our love of travel into a travel business. A few years ago we became independent Travel Consultants and formed SOLSHINE TRAVEL!!! When you click on our logo, you’ll be taken directly to our booking site. Yes, we’d love to be your travel consultants but we also want to share our past, present and future experiences with you. Visit our blog, read and comment about your experiences and if our travel musings, tips and ideas move you, let us help you soothe your soul with the vacation experience you deserve! Email us at info@solshinetravel.com for details.
Vacations for Every Budget and Style
As your vacation consultants, we promise to provide you with vacation options for every budget and style. Do you like traveling in style at the top rated hotels, resorts or cruises? We’ve got you covered. Our Host Agencies partnership with Virtuoso and GLOBUS (We are certified with both) gives us the ability to book higher end travel. We also work with Pleasant Holidays, Delta Vacations and Expedia to give you a wider range of vacation options. If you prefer to stay in an apartment when you travel, we also have a partnership with VRBO both in the US and Europe.
Oh, one more item. In 2015 we embarked on our first Mediterranean Cruise. I also did a blog of that trip. The pages on the right are posts from that blog (I have included links and updated some items for 2019). I hope you enjoy reading them if you haven’t yet. They most definitely will soothe your soul.
We took our 2nd Med Cruise in 2018 and those pictures and reviews are here as well. As we turn the page on Covid-19 and begin to think about BOOKING travel again, I hope these posts and pictures give you the urge to travel once again.
Happy Travels;
