National Plan for Vacation Day
Last week was National Plan for Vacation Day, and we took a social media poll to see where our followers were planning to go on vacation this year! I also asked my colleagues where they were planning or hoping to travel this year.

Spring Training With the Atlanta Braves
Sports have always been a big part of my life. Personally, I’m a fan of just about everything, especially at the collegiate level. Professionally, I am privileged to work with athletes around the world to help them sharpen communication skills.
Sports Travel
A recent story on Global Traveler's website reported sports travel is expected to increase over previous years. I saw this story just as my friends and I finalized our trip to Washington, D.C., to see the Nationals on our 19th annual baseball trip, just one of my many sports-related trips.

The Argosaronic Islands Are Calling
The Saronic or Argo Saronic Islands of Greece call travelers to explore its seven small islands and islets brimming with history, natural sites and more. With most easily accessible by boat, the islands’ proximity to ports of Athens make the Saronic Islands an ideal destination for those preferring shorter boat rides. In fact, trips from Athens ports to the islands take only between 10 minutes and two hours, depending on the island you choose, making them perfect for day or weekend trips. From Piraeus port, you can access Hydra, Spetses, Aegina and Poros directly. Come explore these stunning islands with us and find the inspiration to plan your next trip to these islands. Hydra Hydra town curves around a slope overlooking the Argosaronic Gulf like an amphitheater and is considered one of the most romantic destinations in Greece. Most unique to the island is its lack of vehicles. People on the island get around on mules and donkeys as well as water taxis, making for a peaceful and laid-back day. Hydra lies a two-hour ferry ride from Piraeus port in Athens.
Spring Training and More
My yearly trip to Florida always involves going to Spring Training. The Minnesota Twins play their Spring Training games at the CenturyLink Sports Complex, which is also the home of two of their minor league teams. Prior to the game, we checked out Rick Stelmaszek Field, a practice baseball diamond named after our friend, former major league catcher and long-time coach with the Twins who died in 2017. The Twins lost the game, but an afternoon of spring baseball is always a great time.
