Changing Attitudes... Changing Latitudes
Let us be the first to congratulate you on making one of the most important decisions of your life. The decision to start taking quality vacations with those that you love the most…your family. That may sound like a bold statement, but, in our minds, it’s really not. Think about something; when someone’s home catches on fire and is burning to the ground, what do they run back in for? Of course, their family is number one, but, after that, most people try to save their family photos, videos and memorabilia. If you think about it, everything else is replaceable, but your family and your family memories, are not. Vacations are one of the most important gifts we can give to our families, and ourselves. Sure, we go to work every day, and many of us love our jobs. But, let’s face it; a job is really just a means to an end. One of those ends is spending quality time with those that we love the most…our families. And what better way to do that than taking family vacations together? We invite you to step into a new world, our world; a world where vacations are a priority. A world where we make taking vacations more affordable, and therefore more accessible. You’ll never take quality vacations with your family unless you make it a priority in your life. That’s why we congratulate you on your decision to join our family…and to make vacationing with your loved ones a top priority. Let us change your Latitude; and we promise…it will change your Attitude!!!

Located in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, this area is truly something you’ll want to share with your kids over and over again. It’s late afternoon and you arrive at your 3-bedroom chalet. The kids are so excited they won’t stop. You open the door and stand there, breathless, as you gaze up at the 15 foot vaulted wood-beamed ceilings of the living room. The kids rush past you and are quick to point out the large, wood-burning fireplace. They imagine the S’mores they’ll be making every night. They run to their own bedrooms and bounce up and down on the beds just to test them. You open the back door and step out onto a huge, planked deck, perched 150 feet up on the side of a beautiful tree covered mountain. You look up and see the cable car to Ober Gatlinburg above your head shuttling visitors to the top of the mountain. You close your eyes, and listen. You hear nothing. Peace, quiet and the occasional sound of a cricket or bird as it soars high above it all. You take it all in, this is what life is all about, this is what you and your family deserve. These are memories you will treasure forever. You sit down on that beautiful deck, sip a tall, cool glass of lemonade and begin planning the events of the next few days.

Far from it… Mariachi is the soul of the Mexican people. Mariachi evokes feelings in Mexican people that transcend words. They stroll into restaurants right off the street and begin playing songs that reach deep into the heart. Songs that were sung when they were just children and are carried on through time by the music of the Mariachi. It is not uncommon at all for everyone in a restaurant to simultaneously break into song as the Mariachi plays the songs that stir their hearts. Mariachi will always be Mexico and the story of Mexico will always be told through the music of Mariachi. From the sun splashed beaches of Cancun, perched in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea, to the ancient Mayan and Aztec ruins, Mexico truly has something for everyone. Enjoy outstanding snorkeling and diving in Cozumel and Playa del Carmen, then trek to Guadalajara, the mile high city of Mexico, which has a climate similar to Denver. Visit Puerto Vallarta where the Marlon Brando movie, “Night of the Iguana” was filmed, and the majestic Sierra Madres dip down and kiss the beautiful Pacific Ocean. Whether you’re whale watching off the coast of Mazatlan, or sport fishing in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico is a beautiful country, where the warm souls of the Mexican people welcome you.
