Agent is Very Familiar with Cancun

My endeavors as a travel agent are my second chapter in life.  I began my first career as a fighter pilot in the Air Force and Air National Guard, then went on to become a commercial airline pilot & captain with Northwest and Delta Air Lines. I am fortunate to have traveled extensively, to include visits to 49 states and over 35 different countries. I have traveled by boat, plane, train, and even by bicycle.

On the personal side, I enjoy cruises, relaxing stays at all-inclusive resorts and luxury hotels, scuba diving trips, and golf excursions. Now that I no longer fly for Delta, I enjoy helping others turn their travel dreams into reality! My wife and I live in Newnan, Georgia. with hobbies that include travel, small and medium-sized construction projects, golf, exercise, and socializing with friends.

I am currently certified as a specialist with Celebrity and Royal Caribbean cruise lines, Sandals and Club Med resorts, as well as Amtrak and Amtrak vacations.  Over the winter of '23 I completed Avoya Travel Network's Education Platform offered by The Travel Institute, and passed the Travel Agency Proficiency Exam.

Things to Know About a Cancun Vacation

<p>As a traveler and a travel advisor, I have been to Cancun at least 20 times, and I continue to go a few times every year.  Here are some tips and tricks so keep in mind during your travel planning:</p>
<p>What type of resort do you want?  Most of the resorts are all-inclusive, which many people prefer.  You'll go on vacation knowing that you've already paid for almost everything, and you won't have to keep opening your wallet every time you want a drink, or something to eat.</p>
<p>Adults Only, Couples Only, or Family Friendly?  If you are looking for Adults Only, keep in mind that those resorts take anyone age 18 or older (sometimes even 16 and older).  This means that you might find yourself surrounded by large groups of young people traveling together.  If you want quiet, or an older crowd, choose Couples Only.</p>
<p>Location:  If you want to go into town to visit the bars, restaurants, and shopping, stay in the Hotel Zone (also called The Seven).  If you want to just enjoy your resort, consider staying south of Cancun, near Playa del Carmen, and/or the Riviera Maya.</p>
<p>Cancun Airport:  the airport is very busy.  Consider a flight that arrives as early as possible, as the crowds get worse as the day goes on.  If you can pull off traveling without checking bags, that will save you a lot of time at the airport, as it can take close to an hour to retrieve your checked bags during busy times.  If you are at an all-inclusive resort, you don't want your whole first day spent just getting there.</p>

Len from the beginning helped us plan our outings, provided information on our land bookings in Barcelona and Athens. He was a very helpful liaison between ourselves and the cruise line. Just a kind helpful person!

Len came recommended from friends. We were planning some cruise options and mentioned to Len some of our bucket list destinations. He told us about Celebrity Edge and back to back cruising to New Zealand and Great Barrier Reef coast of Australia. He was able to combine it with a third cruise with Princess as timing was best for repositioning from Sydney to LA. This all worked out beautifully and we especially loved the Edge ship. It was wonderful that Len ensured that we kept the same room on the back to back cruises on the Edge as this ensured a very seamless process between cruises.We already reached out for our next bucket list destinations. Booking for 2026 3 back to back cruises with Oceania for South America/Antarctica.

Our group has just completed an Oasis of the Seas cruise from Fort Lauderdale that more than met our needs. This successful vacation was only possible because of the hard work, knowledge and perseverance of our agent Len! Our group included 2 senior citizens and a daughter, son in law and 12 year old very active grandson. Due to work limitations they could only travel at peak times -Christmas and Spring Break. Len worked very hard and with his knowledge was able to find just the right cruise that met all of our NEEDS! He was very patient, prompt in replying to our seemingly endless questions and any concerns. His selection of our rooms was terrific. With my limited mobility we needed to be close to elevators and main eating areas, as well as having our cabins close by. Throughout the entire process- selection of cruise, reminders of dates , embarkation, useful hints regarding booking on-board activities, choosing dinner times as requested , Len was with us! He responded quickly to ou
