Navigating the Waters of Luxury Travel with Rita Pompey of Vorrei Travel

Stepping aboard a river cruise offers a unique way to experience Europe's charm - wake up in a new town each day without ever having to re-pack your suitcase. Stepping up to listen to this episode of the Good Neighbor Podcast Delco may start you on just such a journey with Rita Pompei, co-owner of Vorrei Travel, when host Bob Blaisse asks Rita to reveal why these floating boutique hotels are rapidly becoming the preferred way to explore a continent's hidden gems.

"You can actually walk right off the ship and into town," Rita explains, highlighting the accessibility that makes river cruising particularly appealing to travelers seeking convenience without sacrificing authenticity. The Danube remains the most requested route, allowing guests to smoothly transition between Germany, France, Switzerland and Hungary while unpacking just once. Rita also shares how the Rhine River and Siene River in France are nearly as popular.

While skilled and experienced in booking and coordinating any kind of travel for individuals, to small and large groups, whether to domestic locations by plane or train, or for international travel or booking an ocean cruise, what truly distinguishes Vorrei Travel in today's digital booking landscape is their commitment to personalized service. When flight disruptions occur, they immediately handle rebooking while clients avoid the stress of navigating problems alone. This women-owned agency based in Media, Pennsylvania, specializes in crafting custom European experiences tailored to each traveler's specific desires, whether that's a Mediterranean cruise stopping at Barcelona and Venice, a Mississippi River journey or a private excursion in a quaint European village.

At Vorrei Travel, they believe that every journey begins with a desire — "vorrei", Italian for "I would like." Whether you're dreaming of sipping espresso in a quiet Venetian café, hiking through the Andes, or chasing the Northern Lights, they’re here to make those dreams a reality. The travel world has evolved, but the need for genuine expertise hasn't disappeared. From handling passport renewals to arranging special group rates for parties of eight or more, Rita and her co-owner of Vorrei Travel, and travel agent, Deb Gordon, deliver comprehensive travel planning without charging fees for cruise bookings. Their approach transforms what could be complicated logistics into seamless, memorable experiences.

Charles Welde, Founder of The CP Welde Group: Funneling Your Fortune with A Three-Bucket Strategy

What if your financial advisor could not only grow your wealth but also help you keep more of it? That's the reason for listening to this episode of The Good Neighbor Podcast. Host Bob Blaisse welcomes Financial Planner, CPA and wealth management professional Charles Welde, Founder of The CP Welde Group to the studio to share his insights about integrating tax management with wealth planning, which Charles has perfected over decades of practice.

Sharing how the financial industry has long separated tax preparation from investment management, leaving most people with fragmented advice that costs them thousands in unnecessary taxes, you'll hear how Charles Welde flips that model on its head by consulting his clients towards financial health through both lenses simultaneously. As Charles explains, most Americans unknowingly overfund their pre-tax retirement accounts without understanding that "Uncle Sam is your partner" in these funds. The solution? It's The CP Welde Group's strategic three-funnel approach that balances pre-tax, post-tax and tax-free investment vehicles to minimize lifetime tax burden.

This short episode quickly reveals how CPA Charles Welde is not just an engineer of clever tax tricks— he's all about comprehensive financial engineering that considers everything from strategic Roth IRA conversions to using permanent life insurance as both legacy protection and long-term care funding. One particularly fascinating example Welde shares demonstrates how a properly structured $300,000 insurance policy can provide $6,000 monthly for long-term care expenses without depleting family assets. These strategies have helped some individual CP Welde Group clients save over $300,000 in lifetime taxes while protecting their retirement security.
