Dec 23 to Jan 1
Winter break
The busiest week of the year for cruises, theme parks and Caribbean resorts. Start nine to twelve months ahead for the best rooms and cabins.
Planned right here in Stacy
I live and work in Stacy. I plan family vacations, girls’ trips, cruises and honeymoons for neighbors, built around your school calendar.
Stacy is home. I plan trips for the families and friends who live here too.
Stacy began as a railroad town called Middle Branch, named for the middle branch of the Sunrise River, and today it sits right on I-35, about 47 miles from MSP Airport. That makes it an easy place to start a trip from.
Most of Stacy is in the North Branch school district, and parts are served by Chisago Lakes and Forest Lake, so I plan around whichever calendar your kids follow.

When Stacy families travel
Most Stacy families follow the North Branch Area Public Schools calendar. If your kids attend Chisago Lakes or Forest Lake schools, your spring break is earlier: March 8 to 12, 2027. All dates below are for the 2026 to 2027 school year.

Mar 22 to 26
A full week off. Because North Branch spring break falls on its own dates, I watch prices for your exact week and book early.
May 28
The last day of school. Early June is a sweet spot for family trips before peak summer prices.
Dates are from the district’s published 2026 to 2027 calendar: North Branch Area Public Schools calendar, Chisago Lakes Area Schools calendar, Forest Lake Area Schools calendar. Calendars can change, so I always confirm your dates before booking. Not tied to the school calendar? Plenty of families travel outside school breaks, and I will tell you when the quieter weeks are worth it.
Good to know before you go
Everything happens by text, email and phone, so it fits around school pickups and work. I read every inquiry myself and reply personally, usually within two business days.

Travel agent in Stacy: questions
I work by text, email and phone, so planning fits around school pickups and work. You never need to drive anywhere, and you can reach me whenever it suits you.
Most of Stacy follows the North Branch Area Public Schools calendar, with spring break March 22 to 26, 2027. Parts of Stacy are served by Chisago Lakes and Forest Lake schools, whose spring break is March 8 to 12, 2027.
Yes. I live and work in Stacy, and I plan trips for families and friends here, across Chisago County and the north metro, and anywhere in the United States.
For resort stays, theme park vacations and cruises, no. The hotels and cruise lines pay me, so you pay the same as booking direct. Custom and multi-stop trips carry a planning fee from $350, agreed before I begin. How I am paid.
