February Is A Great Time To Experience The Big Easy

Everyone experiences a little something known as "Cabin Fever" every now and then. Without a doubt, the best cure for "Cabin Fever" is to plan an escape to someplace you may have considered traveling to before, but could never find the time or resources to do so.

Time and Resources, the greatest common denominators in vacation planning. Well, your friends at IrSabio Travel Consultants have introduced variables which may reduce the impact of those two denominators. Consider a trip to New Orleans, LA.

One of the best times of the year to visit New Orleans is during the month of February because that is typically the time of the year when New Orleans host their annual festival known as Mardi Gras.

IrSabio Travel Consultants put together a five (5) day / four (4) night escape to the "Big Easy" from Jacksonville Fl at a cost of less than $119 per person per night based on double occupancy. Now, let us tell you what you get for $119 per person per night.

The excursion includes round trip air fare from Jacksonville FL to New Orleans FL on AirTran Airlines. Also included is deluxe accomodations for two at La Richelieu which is situated in the heart of the French Quarter. Nothing better than being able to watch the Mardi Gras parade from high above in the privacy of your own hotel room. We are also including the Grey Lines Ghost & Spirits Walking Tour, The Voodoo Cemetary Tour, and Grey Steamboat Natchez Harbour Lunch Cruise. By the way, these tours are optional, you may choose to do them all, or remove the one(s) you are not interested in, just let us know. Finally the cost of the airport transportation and all taxes and fees are included. That's right, I said all taxes and fees, so when I say $119 per person per night, I mean $119 per person per night for a 5 day / 4 night adventure in the "Big Easy". Prices are based on double occupancy, thus this escape is idea for couples who are looking to just get away for a weekend.

THe price quoted is based on current rates as of November 14, 2009, and may differ slightly based on the date you request your quote. As with all vacations, advance planning is highly recommended, as New Orleans has a tendacy to sell out pretty quickly, especially during Mardi Gras season.

If you are interested in obtaining a quote for a getaway to New Orleans, please feel free to contact us either by email at irsabioravel@yahoo.com, or by phone (904) 221-5985 or (904) 239-0676.

YTB Introduces A Brand New Design

For those who may not be aware, IrSabio Travel Consultants is a franchise of the YTB Travel Network, and a proud one indeed.

IrSabio Travel Consultants elected the YTB Travel Network as their host agency for a few reasons, but the primary driver behind our decision was the actual cost to franchise with YTB.

Travel is a big business, it is a more than 7 Trillion Dollars industry, and it is growing. Most host agencies are offering franchise opportunities starting at $4500 to $15000 to sign up. In fact, one enterprising individual bought a well known agency for 5 Billion Dollars to purchase on the more highly advertised travel sites. That's a lot of money. Well, what YTB allowed IrSabio Travel Consultants to do is open a profitable travel franchise for less than $500. Quite a big difference from 5 Billion Dollars.

You can also take advantage of the YTB Travel Network Franchise Opportunity as well by simply visiting our marketing website located at http://www.irsabio.biz. Evaluate the opportunity and take advantage of one of two unique opportunities.

Local Travel Agent Becomes Cruise Expert by Earning Prestigious Top Rank in Princess Cruises Academy

JACKSONVILLE, FL October 27, 2009 – A First Coast travel agent has achieved prestigious Commodore status in Princess Cruises’ Academy training program, certifying him as an expert cruise professional. As a Commodore, Edgar M. Wise of IrSabio Travel Consultants joins an exclusive group of travel agents who are now recognized by Princess at the Academy's highest level for their unique qualifications and knowledge as a cruise planning professional. Edgar Wise earned this distinction after completing the minimum 25 courses necessary to graduate from the program.

“We at Princess are very proud of Edgar’s dedication, as he put in extra effort to offer clients exceptional knowledge regarding our cruise vacation product as well as our worldwide destinations,” said Jan Swartz, Senior Vice President of Customer Service and Sales at Princess. “Travel agents who reach this top level in our Academy program have completed hours of course work to become a cruising expert, which will prove invaluable to providing clients with a great vacation.”

Princess Academy is the cruise industry’s most comprehensive online training program available to travel agents in the U.S. and Canada. Agents who complete the extensive coursework become experts on a wide range of topics, offering travelers full knowledge of important details about a Princess vacation such as the different passenger amenities on the line’s 17 ships, the company’s worldwide destinations and the many special programs available onboard.

“I'm thrilled to be a Princess Commodore and expand my expertise about cruising. The knowledge I've gained makes me a more valuable resource for my clients, and enables me to recommend the very best vacation which matches all of their needs,” said Edgar Wise.

To become a Commodore, travel agents must fulfill 25 required and elective classes, representing approximately 15 hours of total course work covering worldwide destinations, onboard programs, and customer service skills.
