Greetings from Brian

View this email in your browser Greetings Friends, I hope this message finds you happy and healthy.  April came and went in a flash for our family.  When I sit down to write these monthly emails, I like to look back at our family calendar.  I don't think I've seen one as packed as April in a long time! The spring soccer season began, and I'm coaching Peter's team.  Even though Blue Sea Vacations sponsors the team, I always like the players to agree on a team name. This season, we are known as the "Pickle Dogs".  The team has a ton of energy, and most importantly, we're having fun. The big news from Sarah is that she had braces put on her teeth at the beginning of April.  So far, Sarah's had wires pop out and brackets fall off, but she's put on a good face (no pun intended) and taken it all in stride. Our family spent a Sunday afternoon in April seeing the "Elephant and Piggie" musical.  We've spent the past 8 years reading these books to the kids, so it was a unique experience seeing the characters come to life on the stage.  Sandy and I also got away (on a school night!) to see an organ concert by the Madison Symphony's organist.  The show featured the organist, a brass quintet, and a drummer.  Sandy and I agreed that it was amazing and we had a wonderful time. Easter was a nice holiday.  We had an early morning Easter egg hunt outside.  Followed by church and a wonderful brunch with friends.  My mom visited for the weekend.  We all enjoyed having company. From the travel side, I'm noticing many people are planning last-minute trips for this summer.  Please be aware that the longer you wait, the less is available and prices go up.  If you are interested in going away next fall or winter, this is the perfect time to begin planning.  For next spring break, we're still a little too early, but it doesn't hurt to begin the conversation. I haven't mentioned it in a while, but a friendly reminder that I always recommend purchasing travel insurance for your vacations.  This covers you for situations like cancelled flights or lost luggage.  But it can also provide medical coverage if you are out of the country. Lastly, I tend to get a little sentimental in May, as it was this month 12 years ago that I started Blue Sea Vacations.  I'm nothing but grateful for the experience of being able to help you plan your trips.  Thank you for supporting Blue Sea Vacations. Have a Great Weekend, Brian PS - in case you missed it last month, I'm planning a 2026 Spring Break Cruise.  Let me know if you are interested! Contact Today See previous monthly emails here.
