Many people think it is all fun and games when we travel as travel agents. While we enjoy our time away, it is not all beaches and margaritas (although I definitely do enjoy a good spicy margarita).

I am in Cancun and the Riviera Maya this week touring hotels so that our guests know what to expect when they travel here. I’ve met with our transfer drivers and toured 14 resorts all in the first two days!

I’m looking forward to spending the next few days with the amazing and her team at & really exploring and experiencing their amazing resorts.

Friday I am back on the road for a sneak peak at the all new and 3 more beautiful properties followed by my last 2 more resorts Saturday before heading home on Sunday.

Total resorts to be toured this trip - 23!

Be sure to follow in our stories for highlights as I go and if you have any questions about travelling to the area or any of these amazing resorts, do not hesitate to reach out in the DMs.

You forget your headphones, left the book you planned to pack on the coffee table, and are sitting at your resort paranoid about leaving the hair dryer plugged in.

There’s nothing worse, in my opinion!

Here’s my day before travel checklist that I’ve perfected to make sure I don’t forget anything:

Start prepping a week before: I start setting things aside for my trip, but I hold off on packing until a day or two before, so I remember what’s in my suitcase.

Do a round of editing: Right before I pack, I edit to make sure I’m packing what I’ll actually need. I also check the weather forecast where I’m headed to make sure I’m prepared.

Carry-on check: I double- and triple-check my carry-on for my documents, my AirPods, and my lip chap—basically everything I’ll need on the actual flight (chapped lips on a four-hour flight are the worst!).

Travel admin: I call my credit card company, download airline apps, make sure I have a copy of my boarding pass, etc.

Your week before travel checklist: Family edition

✅ Make special requests ahead of time for adjoining rooms, cots, cribs, etc.

✅ Request early check-in so you don’t have to wait around if you’re landing before the standard 3 PM check-in.

✅ Pack a secret stash of surprise goodies for the littles for special moments and good behavior.

✅ Audit your bags to make sure you’re not missing any of the little things like the kids’ toothpaste or their favorite hat.

✅ BONUS! If you booked with us, you can immediately cross items 1 & 2 off your list as we ensure that these and any other special room location and amenity requests are taken care of for you.

Family travel planning is as beautiful as it is hectic, and we are here to help with all the little details so you can focus on your family and making those special memories.

What is one thing you wish you could hand over to someone else from your pre-travel checklist?

Sunday was spent onboard the Celebrity Solstice and while not as wow and flashy as the Celebrity Edge, the ship was beautiful with lots of truly unique spaces.

The Celebrity Solstice is home to The Lawn Club. This beautiful outdoor space is truly a unique feature for a cruise ship. It features a 1/2 acres of real grass and a hot glass blowing space with demonstrations for guests.

Invigorate your senses and relax in their stunning spa and for a touch of spa and relaxation right in your own stateroom, check out the Aquaclass staterooms which include access to the stunning Persian Gardens area as well as their own private restaurant, Blu.

Do you have questions on what it like to sail with Celebrity Cruises onboard the Celebrity Solstice, do not hesitate to reach out for more information.

🤩 Wow! Just Wow! 🤩

I spent Saturday onboard the Celebrity Edge when she made her first ever port in Vancouver and I thought I knew what to expect but she blew me away!

The Edge started sailing in 2018 with just over 2,900 passengers and looks like she was just launched yesterday. The spaces are spread out and stunning with lots of great places to sit and socialize and some great smaller spaces to connect with a close group.

When it comes to dining, the main dining room has been split into 4 beautiful restaurants, each with its own theme and menus that changes throughout your cruise. There are 5 unique specialty restaurants and 2 additional dining rooms, one exclusive to suite guests and one for those in Aquaclass.

Are you interested in sailing onboard this beautiful ship or one of her sisters in the Edge Class, reach out to our team today for some exclusive pricing and offers in honor of this wonderful experience.

April is flying by, isn’t it?

But hey, what a ride it‘s been! Feeling major gratitude for my awesome clients I got to plan with this past month.

Here’s what I’ve been up to:

This month I got to curate:

🏖️ a dreamy escape for a mother/daughter trip jetting off to Cabo

🏰 a magical family and friends group trip to Disneyland

🛳️ a big family vacation for A & J to spend some quality time with all their extended family

But hold on, can we shine a spotlight on my fantastic clients gearing up for a special anniversary celebration vacation onboard the amazing adults-only Virgin Voyages?

They finally managed to carve out time from their crazy schedules to focus on each other to reconnect sans kiddos.

And now I’m just staring at my phone, waiting for you to message me so I can start building your dream vacation, too.

What are you waiting for?

22/04/2024

The travel side of social media can be a little bit deceptive.

Everyone’s always taking these fabulous trips, but how do you decide what will be a good trip for you with so much information out there?

Take my client P, for example. They were scrolling through their feed and stumbled on a hotel that was "suggested" for them. The photos looked stunning and they decided they were interested in booking there for their upcoming beach vacation.

I got on the case right away. 🔎

Almost immediately I realized this property wouldn’t be a good fit for my client who likes to have lots of dining options and prioritizes a good swimmable beach above everything else.

I took this property as a starting point and ended up recommending two others that had some of the good elements of the property my client found, but also included a few more of the things I knew it was lacking because mediocre food just won’t cut it for my clients and neither will avoiding swimming in the ocean!

All this is to say, take what you see in your feeds as inspo, but always do the research to make sure the destinations and hotels you find will fit your unique travel needs.

Want to take the inspo but have someone else handle that research? That's where we come in to take away the resort overwhelm so you can relax and enjoy the planning process knowing the resort you are going to, is the right fit for you and your family.

Any questions about travel planning? My comments are open.

28/03/2024

You know that mad dash in the morning to the resort pool to pick out the best lounger?

You pick a lounger, and you think it’s the one, but nobody told you that it’s right beside the pool DJ or the water polo, where it’s loud, busy, and overcrowded, so you’re second-guessing your pick all day.

That’s kind of how it is when you’re picking a resort.

If you don’t have someone to give you the inside scoop, you could end up parked at a resort or hotel for a week that you don’t exactly enjoy.

And your vacation time is way too valuable to take a chance like that.

If you’d much rather have insider information, someone to give you vetted details on properties and help match you to the right resort, then you will want to have our team in your corner.

Not only do we have relationships with many of our hotel partners, but our team personally visits many of the resorts that our guests frequent so we can learn firsthand where our clients are going to stay.

Send us a DM to book your complimentary planning call and don't get stuck at that resort that isn't all it is cracked up to be.

Raise your hand if you’ve been designated the unofficial travel planner for the next big extended family vacation.

Now it’s your job to coordinate with everyone, consider all of the members of your group, what they’ll like and what they won’t like, and whether they’ll enjoy the accommodations and experiences you’re planning.

Or you can pass the baton over to me to worry about all of the above.

We’ve been planning group getaways for years, so we are pros at juggling it all.

It’ll take a huge weight off your shoulders so drop us a DM to chat about the group getaway you have in mind.

Here when you’re ready!

The truth about working with a travel advisor? It isn’t for everyone.

It comes down to how you like to travel. So, how do you know if a travel advisor is the right fit for you?

If you’d rather be talking directly to a human about your travel plans than leaving it up to the search bar on a website.

And

If you want someone who will take the time to understand your preferences, interests and goals for your trip.

And

If you’re tired of endless online searches and just want someone to give you clarity and a finished itinerary based on your travel preferences.

Then, you’ll appreciate the personalized and tailored approach travel advisors take to planning trips, the expertise, and the personalization.

Curious about working with us? Don’t hesitate to send us a DM or email with your travel plans to see how we can assist.

T’is the season to give! And if you’re thinking about gifting travel this Holiday season…

First of all, your giftee is lucky to have you in their life.

And second of all, here are a few tips for a perfectly executed gifted trip:

🎁 If possible, to keep things open-ended. Unless you’re 100% sure someone can depart on the exact dates you decide, it’s worthwhile keeping things flexible, just in case.

🎁 You may want to forgo pre-booking something. Instead, gift a token that represents the trip, like a map, brochure, or travel-related items, and then allow the person you’re gifting to plan the trip with a trusted travel advisor.

🎁 Sometimes it’s not the trip. It’s the journey. You may want to make the person you’re gifting a part of the travel planning process and give them VIP treatment by having an advisor who can curate and do the heavy lifting of booking the travel once they decide where they’d like to go.

Not to brag, but I am an expert in stealth and secrecy when it comes to travel. If you could use a hand gifting a loved one a trip this season, get in touch.

01/12/2023

Travel is such a personal thing and I can honestly say that one of the biggest things I have learned over the years is that, for my clients, the personal touch their trips get when they work with me, is so important.

Personal touch you’ll be hard-pressed to find on online travel booking platforms that very much take a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to travel.

Adding a little something extra is my superpower when it comes to planning those special family vacations and couples getaways for my clients.

I get to know you, your travel preferences, what you enjoy, what you value — that’s all so I can design a trip that’s made for you and you alone. Not based on whatever hotel or resort pays to be suggested to you in the top spot.

When you’re ready to sprinkle more of a personal touch to your trips, because let’s be honest, those vacation days aren’t infinite and they are precious — I’m just a DM away.

Want to learn more about my process and how to work with me? Comment below or send us a DM.

Is Black Friday REALLY the best time to book?

It depends on the trip you have in mind and what your travel style is.

I’m constantly on the lookout for trips, resorts, hotels, and experiences that I know will be a good fit for them, not just on Black Friday.

Part of the fun for me is planning my clients the vacation of their dreams for the best value possible.

It’s a challenge I enjoy! 💪

If you’d like me in your corner when it comes to planning your next family vacation, we are only just a call away.

The biggest mistake people make with travel?

They think it’s as simple as booking a flight and a hotel.

There’s just much magic that happens when you take the time to plan out some of those little details that can make a good trip great.

🗺 The day tours *actually* worth leaving your comfy pool lounger for.

🔎 Booking that local tour guide who knows the history and culture better than anyone else.

🍔 Vetted recommendations for the perfect wine bar or steakhouse for that anniversary dinner.

It doesn’t mean you can’t have spontaneity. It means you’re going in with a game plan to get the most out of your trip, avoid disappointment, and make the experience memorable!

Trying to plan travel is kind of chaotic.

It’s like being handed a jigsaw puzzle with a million pieces and being expected to put it all together yourself.

Now, imagine someone handing you that same puzzle, but sorted by edges, colors, and patterns.

That’s what I do for my clients. I simplify, give clarity, and save time when planning their all-inclusive trips.

The jigsaw puzzle comes together in a beautiful itinerary that’s mindful of my clients’ travel preferences and the things they need to make a trip truly notable.

Thinking of finally planning that trip south for the winter? Get in touch to see how I can help.
