The Travel Connection

By definition, a “travel bug” is someone who has a “strong desire or passion for travel and exploring new places.” Many such avid explorers will often say they have “Caught the travel bug!”, whether they are frequent cruisers or adventurous country walkers or first-time travelers planning their first overseas trip!

Did you know that if you are planning any trip as of May 7th, you will need to possess a “Real ID” driver’s license if you do not have a passport? Whether your license is up for renewal or not, if you plan on traveling anywhere this year, you should make your way to the DMV (the initial application must be done in person!) to acquire this important form of identification.

This is exactly the kind of information that a novice traveler or even an experienced traveler may not know about without the help of a travel agent ~ a travel agent who knows the ins and outs of domestic and worldwide travel. A travel agent just like Sue Rezendes of The Travel Connection in Warwick.

The Travel Connection is a longstanding travel planning agency that is located just off Post Road in the city. Sue Rezendes, a travel planner for over thirty years, uses her decades of experience in the industry to help you plan the trip of a lifetime.

Some may ask, why use a travel agent when you have the internet? Though the internet can get you started, there is no technology that can replace the capable and well-researched professionals at an agency such as The Travel Connection. Technology cannot duplicate the expertise, guidance, and personal touch of a local agent who is there to act on your behalf should you encounter any complications during your trip. Sue Rezendes is just this person!

As a bonafide “travel bug” herself, Sue has seen the world through the eyes of the hundreds of clients she has helped over her 30+ years in the business. Her time, commitment and firsthand knowledge will always exceed the internet!

Her years of experience spent navigating the world have also taught Sue that there are many important questions to ask along the way. Some of these questions might be obvious, such as: what is your dream destination, your budget, your desired accommodations, amenities?

But there is also a plethora of other questions to ask that may not be immediately obvious, even to the most confident traveler ~ questions such as whether or not you need a “Real ID” or insurance? What about cancellation policies, travel warnings, and so much more. This is where the expertise and knowledge of The Travel Connection become so important.
