It's Wrigley Field, Summertime, and the All Star Game..can it really get better than this? There is probably no better place to host an All Star Game than THE Wrigley Field. Yes, Sports Traveler is based in Chicago, and yes, we probably are a little biased. Is there a more romanticized, sought-after baseball bucket list trip destination than Wrigley Field? We don't think so. 
 

When we first started creating the MLB All Star Game Weekend package itinerary, there were so many questions we had to ask ourselves. What do we want MLB fans traveling to our city to see while they are here for only 4 days? We think we put together the perfect MLB All Star week trip to satisfy the baseball fans, and showcase the city throughout the experience. 

We start on the Chicago River with an exclusive Sports Traveler Welcome River Boat Tour Cruise. The city of Chicago is best seen from this vantage point and traverses through iconic architecture and landmarks. There is nothing like the views, and

We're going to Pebble Beach for the 2027 US Open.. and we can hardly wait!
The last time the Pebble Beach Links hosted the US Open Golf Tournament was 2019, and yes, there have been plenty of great destinations hosting the tournament since then (Pinehurst, Torrey Pines to name a few), but there is nothing at the level of THE Pebble Beach. 

The history, the scenery, and the moments that have happened at Pebble have helped make the legends of the game that much bigger because they happened here.. who can forget Tiger Woods winning the tournament by 15 strokes in 2000. But there is much more to a trip to Pebble Beach than just the incredible golf. It's the whole experience...the views from nearly every angle of the ocean meeting the pure green of the fairways and the incredible vibe being at a tournament on this course. It's a trip that you will never forget.

As the Augusta National finished hosting the Women’s amateur tournament this past weekend, my thoughts are about the continuing growth of women’s sports and women's golf, and also about the women that have lead the sport throughout history.

I remember seeing the name Patty Berg for the first time on the clubs in my mother’s golf bag. From her first clubs when she was a teen, all the way through her adulthood, my mom's clubs were Patty Berg’s woods and irons. I started golfing when I was 3 years old and even before I was big enough, I was obsessed with those Patty Berg’s! I was convinced my little kid clubs were holding back my game.

In the summertime, I golfed every week with grandparents and recall being told numerous times by them that Patty Berg was the greatest female golfer in history. She was a founding member of the LPGA, and from 1937 to 1961, she dominated the game with 57 LPGA and WPGA tournament wins. She won 15 majors during her career

After two years away, we are finally back watching the very best play golf at the Masters!

So much has changed in the past two years, but one thing will always remain the same... The Masters at the Augusta National Golf Course. When we last left Augusta, Georgia, in 2019, the Masters Champion was Tiger Woods and it seemed like all was well in the universe. Tiger had added to his career to earn a 5th Green Jacket. The tournament week had been filled with incredible play and beautiful weather. Our only worry was on Championship Sunday from an impending thunderstorm system that never much developed.

None of us could have ever imagined spectators being away from this tournament for two years. So much has changed, but if you are traveling back with us we can promise the city of Augusta, Georgia is ready to welcome you home!

What to expect when you arrive in Augusta... 

We recommend flying into the Augusta, Georgia airport (AGS), if possible. Not only is the airport small and easy to navigate,

It’s a new year, and was time for a new adventure. So, I packed my bags and headed of to the Tournament of Roses Parade!

Since I founded the company nearly 20 years ago, I’ve been to a lot of events. What struck me was throughout the entire Sports Traveler Rose Parade Tour, I felt consistently happy and impressed. The warm weather, the beautiful scenery of Southern California, and the Parade Day itself made for an event to remember forever.

Marina del Rey - The True California

I started off by welcoming our guests to the Hotel MdR Doubletree in Marina Del Rey, California hotel I handpicked because I love this little beachfront community. Nestled between the mountains and the sea, just south of the famous Venice Beach, and right next to the famous marina filled with all the big boats and yachts you can only dream of, this area is the True California.

The Hotel MdR has that 'California Cool' vibe that you feel the minute you enter the lobby. The pool sits in the center courtyard and has

The NFL Schedule is officially out and several great match-ups make the list of the top 5 games to travel to this season. Who's ready to road trip?

Week 1, starts off in my home town with the Green Bay Packers at Chicago Bears on September 5th. It’s a Thursday Night game and take it from a life-long Chicagoan, the best time to visit this city is September. We are staying at the Fairfield Inn and Suites right by the Mag-Mile, blocks from Navy Pier and the new River Walk – home to some of the city’s hottest new bars and restaurants. The river will be thumpin'! And so will game day at Soldier Field.

Week 2, has the Minnesota Vikings at the Green Bay Packers on September 15th. This is a perfect weather situation to visit Lambeau Field and not freeze to death while getting the full Green Bay experience by taking part in outdoor tailgates and the historic stadium tour complete with access to the Packer Hall of Fame. Our tours to Packerland keep getting better every year. This year, add on the
