The Vacation Station Review
Travel Is A Family Affair
Travel is a priority for the Avelar family. Laura Avelar admits that she loves cruises adding that she has been on at least 15 during her life. Long vacations have been replaced by shorter jaunts, which are easier when you are raising a family, Avelar says. But she and her husband have instilled a love of travel and seeing new places in their nine-year-old daughter.
She’s been on six cruises and to Disneyland,” Avelar laughs. “She loves to travel.”
Their most recent family trip for the Avelars, who live near Sacramento, California, was to San Francisco for some family fun before school started.
“We’ve been using [The Vacation Station, LLC] for short vacations such as the one we just took to San Francisco,” Avelar said. “My husband, daughter and I stayed on Knob Hill, in the Marriott Renaissance and we saved about $60.”
The Avelars joined The Vacation Station about two years ago during a trip to the Carolinas.
“We had driven through Charleston and were staying the night,” she said, adding that when they heard about Vacation Station, “we decided to take a gander.”
Why People Love the Vacation Station
It was a lucky happenstance for the Avelars – and not just the immediate family. Thanks to the friends and family network, Avelar’s in-laws, who live just across the street, are able to enjoy the benefits of The Vacation Station to the fullest.
“My in-laws love it,” Avelar said. “They have saved thousands and thousands on cruises. They took a cruise to the Panama Canal within the last six months and they’re getting ready to go to Hawaii in January. The savings are tremendous.”
The customer service is as tremendous as the savings, according to Avelar, who said that The Vacation Station is even able to arrange accommodations during peak times. “I’ve had numerous contacts with The Vacation Station, especially with Jody and she’s been great,” Avelar said.
“I was a bit ‘gun-shy’ about it at first,” Avelar laughed, “but it has been worth it.” When asked if she would recommend The Vacation Station to other, she had just one word... “Absolutely!”
