We're stepping outside the Disney bubble and heading deep into the heart of Texas for an unforgettable trip to Austin. That's right—we swapped MagicBands for cowboy boots and spent the weekend soaking up everything Austin has to offer, from mouthwatering food to meaningful moments.We're talking Michelin-starred barbecue brisket that melts in your mouth, spicy chicken from a food truck named Spicy Boys, an incredible cowgirl hat experience at Kendra Scott's Yellow Rose boutique, and a dive bar that turned out to be surprisingly sober-friendly. Plus, opening up about a powerful personal milestone—reaching 475 days of sobriety—and how a three-hour Blue October concert helped finally deliver the clarity.Whether it's floating in freezing cold Barton Springs, indulging in gourmet ice cream, or spotting a puppy in an Uber, this was a weekend filled with unexpected joy, emotional growth, and plenty of laughter. So if you're looking for an inspiring, delicious, and downright weird adventure beyond the theme parks, grab your hat (and maybe a churro for comfort) and come along for the ride!MEI-Travel – Expertise.

Laura and Brody are convinced there are no more travel agencies or agents...

It's exactly halfway through 2025 - six months ago the catch phrase of the Wellington business community was 'survive til 25'. Are our businesses still struggling halfway through the year? Also, have tourism numbers in Wellington bounced back to pre-Covid levels, and can Kiwi consumers and businesses cope with the increasing costs of flights? To answer those questions, Business Central/Wellington Chamber of Commerce CEO Simon Arcus and Travel Agents Association CEO Julie White joined Nick Mills for the Business Panel.

We're taking a delicious deep dive into the snack scene at Disney Springs to determine which treats are truly worth your time, money, and appetite. With so many tempting options, we're breaking them down by taste, value, portion size, and uniqueness to see which ones deserve a resounding “Eat it!” and which you may want to “Beat it!”We kick things off at Swirls on the Water with the DOLE Whip Flight—a $7.99 trio that serves up a sampler-sized portion of Disney's most iconic soft-serve in playful, unique swirls like banana and salted caramel or mint chocolate, all with fun toppings. Then we hit the heavyweight champion of cookies at Gideon's Bakehouse, where the limited-time White Chocolate Macadamia Nut cookie clocks in at nearly half a pound and over 24 hours of prep time, offering rich flavor and chewy-crispy contrast.From there, it's on to Sprinkles for a fresh cupcake delivered from their famous ATM, and then we hop over to The Daily Poutine, where $10.49 gets you a hot, hearty portion of Canadian-style comfort food—fries, gravy, and cheddar curds that are perfect for sharing. Summer House offers up a gooey cookie bar that's just as pretty as it is tasty, while Chicken Guy delivers classic tenders with a sauce-sampling twist that brings the flavor (and a bit of Food Network flair).We wrap with Homecomin's beloved Momma's Mac and Cheese, Morimoto Asia's sticky-sweet spare ribs, Everglazed's pillowy doughnuts, and the wildly inventive small-batch ice creams from Salt & Straw—think strawberry balsamic or honey lavender atop a crisp waffle cone.Whether you're strolling the Springs for a quick bite or plotting a full-on snack crawl, this episode is your go-to guide for the tastiest (and most interesting) stops along the way.MEI-Travel – Expertise.

In this episode of the Travel Agent Achievers Podcast, I'm thrilled to welcome Claire Baines, CEO of Hands Across the Water and an absolute powerhouse when it comes to creating experiences that truly matter. Claire isn't your typical travel professional, but her journey from the world of corporate events to leading one of the most impactful experience-based charities is nothing short of inspiring. We dive into her story on how a passion for events and a single moment of saying “yes” to a charity bike ride led her to a life and career filled with purpose, connection, and heart. Claire opens up about the challenges and joys of running a purpose-driven organisation, sharing how she balances strategy and heart as she leads a team across multiple countries. She talks candidly about the pressure of sustaining a charity through global upheaval, and how resilience, creativity, and a strong sense of community helped Hands Across the Water not just survive, but thrive during the toughest times. We explore the magic that keeps people coming back year after year for their immersive experiences in Thailand, and how the human connections formed on these journeys create memories and impact that last a lifetime. If you've ever wondered how to infuse more meaning into your travel business, or how you can make a genuine difference while still running a successful operation, Claire's insights will leave you feeling motivated and full of ideas. We also chat about systems, scaling, and the importance of never losing sight of the personal touch, even as you grow.

We're kicking off our multi-day Disneyland trip report with everything that went down on Day 1—from coast-to-coast travel logistics to indulging in incredible food and drink around Downtown Disney.We start with trip planning details, including why we chose this time of year, how far in advance we booked, total costs, and what it took to get from Florida to Anaheim. We break down our travel day experience, our choice of transportation, and what it's like navigating the journey from the airport to the magic.Next, we dive into our stay at the charming and historic Candy Cane Inn, including fun facts (like how it was almost named the “Cinderella Inn” until Walt stepped in), amenities, and why it might be the best off-property value near Disneyland.Then we explore Downtown Disney, grabbing a bite at Naples Ristorante e Bar (spoiler: the Prosciutto e Melone pizza and mocktails are winners), shopping at World of Disney, and taking in the luxurious ambiance of Disney's Grand Californian Hotel.Our evening wraps up with refreshing drinks—including an impressive non-alcoholic lineup—at Ballast Point Brewing Co., a flavorful dinner at the newly reimagined Jazz Kitchen Coastal Grill & Patio, and a sweet stop at Beignets Expressed.MEI-Travel – Expertise.
