Planning a ‘Grand’ Portugal Trip

When your grandson calls and says, “Grandpa, we need to take a trip together,” you start planning.

So, Karen and Simon Landsman stopped by AAA’s Garden City, New York, branch to make hotel reservations for a grandfather-grandson trip to Portugal and to get advice on planning side trips from travel advisor Rosetta Varuola.

Both foodies, Simon and his college student grandson planned to sample different dishes in various locations during their trip and had talked about numerous exotic and distant destinations before settling on Portugal.

The Landsmans were impressed with how knowledgeable Varuola was and how quickly she pulled up information. She has been a travel advisor with AAA Northeast for 11 years and has worked in the travel industry for 30 years.

Karen Landsman had already booked the flight for the trip without realizing the full breadth of AAA travel services.

“I wish we’d done everything here,” Simon Landsman said. “We’ll be calling Rosetta first the next time we plan a trip.”
