Spring Break Suggestions

Getaway!

Spring break, have to get away?  This year, more than ever, parents and kids need a break.  Working from home or doing remote learning has been stressful.  More people are staying home or close to home for spring break.  But that doesn’t mean that you can’t travel or have a fun time.  Jamestown Shoe and Luggage Service offers these suggestions for spring break travel:

•    Head to the beach!  Either for the day or for a stay
•    Play at a park
•    Visit a theme park or make it into a theme park vacation
•    Go camping
•    Rent a cabin and explore the great outdoors

No matter where you travel, you need to have the proper clothing, shoes, and luggage.  Make a packing list so that you don’t forget things that you need such as sunscreen, sunglasses, park tickets, phone charger, and toiletries.  Double check to see if everyone has the proper shoes such as water shoes, hiking shoes, athletic shoes, or dressy shoes.  Instead of popping for new shoes and spending tons of money, consider having your shoes repaired before your trip.  Jamestown Shoe and Luggage Service can repair or replace heels, tips, soles, stitching and more on men’s, women’s, and children’s shoes.  We also offer shoe stretching and orthopedic shoe modifications.

Travel involves luggage!  Figure out what type of luggage works best for your trip be it a duffel bag, hard cased suitcase, backpack, or beach bag.  Make sure that your luggage is ready for your trip.  We can repair or replace luggage wheels, luggage zippers, luggage zipper sliders, luggage feet, luggage carry handles, luggage retractable handles and more.  We service many brands including Briggs and Riley, Skyway, Ricardo, Victorinox (Swiss Army Luggage), Delsey, Atlantic, and Travel Pro.  We also service other manufacturer’s and luggage that is out of warranty. 

Busy getting everything ready and booked for your trip?  We offer a mail in repair service.  Simply visit online at http://www.floridashoeandluggagerepair.com/Mail-In-Your-Repairs.html and print out the form.  Mail the form along with your repair work to our address at 931 North State Road 434, Suite 1095, in Altamonte Springs, FL 32714.  Once we receive your items, we will call you with the final price and to get payment.  We will then repair your items and send them back to you.
