Plan A Vacation

10/19/2024

Life has been a wild ride since August 11th, escorting two amazing groups, breaking my wrist and hand in not three places as originally thought but four, floods and hurricanes to add to the crazy side of my business and sadly losing a cherished friend to the same cancer that took my sister. Finally my current work location for a travel conference which I am so grateful for this hosted opportunity here in the Azores. Working hard meeting many local tour operators from around Europe. Curating our Plan A Vacation custom packages to mainland Portugal, the Azores, Bulgaria, and Eastern Europe. We are excited to be releasing our unique curated packages coming soon! Meeting other top performing agents from the USA has been so incredible. We all learn from each other. A quick stop to take some fun photos. Stay tuned for many posts of our group travels since August 11th as I’m slowly getting a little more mobility with my right hand. 😬over 3000 photos to work through! Stay tuned we are one month away from escorting our final group tour of 2024! Still room if you would like join us!

Our recent stay at the magnificent Grand ROI Aix-en-Provence was nothing short of a dream come true. 🌸 Nestled in the heart of this charming French town, the Grand ROI is the epitome of luxury and elegance, offering a seamless blend of modern comforts and timeless sophistication.

Imagine waking up to the soft hues of the Provencal sunrise, stepping out onto your private balcony, and being greeted by the scent of lavender and fresh croissants wafting through the air! 🌅 The Grand ROI offered this and so much more, with its beautifully appointed rooms and impeccable service.

The Grand ROI truly felt like a luxurious home away from home. Thanks to the warm hospitality, we felt pampered every step of the way. 🛀🌿

This enchanting getaway has left us with memories to cherish forever. Atéprochaine, Aix-en-Provence! ❤️ The perfect way to start our South of France river cruise with AmaWaterways.

Guess where I am? Right here in the heart of Arles, surrounded by the magic of Van Gogh!
Did you know Van Gogh actually painted two “Starry Night” masterpieces? The famous one we all know, with the swirling, star-filled sky, was created in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. But the lesser-known yet equally enchanting “Starry Night Over the Rhône” was painted right here in Arles!
I’m thrilled to share that “Starry Night Over the Rhône” is currently on display at the Van Gogh Institute, but only for a short while. Seeing this masterpiece up close is an experience beyond words!
Walking through the charming streets where Van Gogh found his inspiration, I can almost feel the stars swirling around me. With delightful cafes and historic beauty, Arles is truly the perfect setting for this incredible piece of art.
If you’re an art lover or just someone looking for a unique adventure, Arles is definitely calling your name.

Our French adventure has begun! We’ve landed in the heart of Provence with a fantastic group of enthusiastic travelers.

Our first stop: the charming town of Aix-en-Provence. We’ve been indulging in the local markets, tasting exquisite pastries, and exploring historic sites.

Next, we’re off to the ancient city of Arles to board our home for the week, the elegant AmaCello river cruise ship, where luxury meets comfort. En route, we couldn’t resist stopping at the breathtaking Les Baux-de-Provence, perched dramatically on a rocky outcrop. The views were absolutely stunning and the history captivated us.

Stay tuned as we continue to explore, savor, and immerse ourselves in the beauty of France.
