Thanksgiving always brings a wave of gratitude, doesn’t it? 🍂

It makes me reflect on the amazing people who stand by me and the experiences that have shaped my journey so far.

This season, I’m especially thankful for the opportunities to explore new places and create memories with loved ones.

How about you? What are you most grateful for this year?

🌟 I see posts like this ALL the time ⬇️

Someone books their own Sandals trip, joins a fan group, excitedly posts a bunch of commonly asked questions, and then... 😔 They're often told to "use the search feature", "it's on the website", or, worse, they receive misguided advice!

Sigh 🙁 It can be really overwhelming, can't it? Booking a vacation should be exciting!!!

👉 Here’s the thing—vacations are a big deal and the details really matter. Instead of navigating through the maze of do’s and don'ts on your own, book with me!

💼 As your dedicated travel advisor, I:

Guide you through the entire booking process

Provide accurate, up-to-date information tailored to your unique vacation needs.

Offer insider tips that you won’t find on a website.

This warm weather has me reminiscing about summer one last time, then it’s time to move on to all things Fall.

This summer was full of some great trips:

I went to:

Beaches Turks and Caicos for my 40th birthday
A girl's trip to Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana with my college roommates
Sandals Grenada with my husband
and
Sandals Curacao for a TA conference with my sister as my guest!

I saw clients off to:

Beaches Negril
Club Med Bali
Club Med Turkoise
Sandals Barbados
and more!

Time to turn the page to fall travel!

Are you traveling this fall? Where are you off to?

The moment summer ends I’m immediately plotting my escape somewhere warm for the winter! Anyone else? 🙋‍♀️

My clients are already answering the call to escape the winter and have already booked trips to

Sandals Royal Bahamian
Sandals Dunn's River
Club Med Miches
Beaches Turks and Caicos
and more!

Once that cold weather hits they’ll be so happy they locked in their trip to this little slice of paradise.

What is the absolute best thing about Fall in your opinion?

For me, it's planning winter and spring break trips with clients.

But it’s not all about work; I love all the fall activities like apple picking and pumpkin patches, and let's not forget my favorite activity: fall golf!

What do you love about Fall?

Dreaming of a vacation where your only concern is how you’d like your coffee?

Or whether you want to be enjoying the infinity pool overlooking the ocean or a lounger on the beach?

Very few things make me feel better than helping my clients kick off their relaxation BEFORE they even leave for the trip.

All of those stressful things that make travel planning complicated, things like:

➡️ Researching and finding trusted sources.

➡️ Picking the right resort when there are so many options that look great.

➡️ Picking tour companies, confirming the booking, etc etc.

The fun and relaxation start when you hand me your wishlist items, and I plan it all for you!

And when it’s time for you to leave and enjoy your getaway, I’m on deck to make sure your itinerary details are at the top of your inbox and your arrival goes smoothly.

My specialties include Sandals and Beaches all-inclusive resorts, because I have spent over 65 nights at them myself!

I am ready to plan when you are!

"Will you ever slow down with traveling to Sandals and Beaches Resorts?”

Absolutely not! Not anytime soon at least.

As a busy working Mom and business owner, I want to RELAX on my vacations.

I live for those eight glorious days where I don't have to decide what everyone in my family is eating and when, I don't have to cook, clean, or do dishes, not only is every meal served to me, but I can have sushi, my son can have spaghetti, and my husband can have a burger... SIGN ME UP!

Bonus: they were so accommodating of my son's food allergies! We could order his meals ahead to have anything he wanted at the restaurant we chose, even if it wasn't on that menu.

I sat on the beach reading while my son was happily swimming and my husband was snorkeling, in the most beautiful water I have ever seen, there's truly something for everyone.

Plus, the endless activity schedule, included water park, land and water sports, and entertainment... we were all exhausted by the end of the day!

Which brings me to the room. We opted for a family room so my son could have his OWN SLEEPING SPACE. No need to turn the lights off and tip toe around so we didn't wake each other up, and it had a balcony with an ocean view, so we could relax outside after bedtime.

Now, my mission is to help you create your own travel magic.

I believe travel memories are the ultimate keepsake – one of the few things that last you a lifetime.

Are you ready to start planning your dream trip?

Let me make planning easier for you!

Forget the witches and ghouls; nothing gives me more chills than seeing families take risks with their vacation time because of travel advice they find online that isn’t vetted.

Seriously, if you think a haunted house is scary, try booking a trip without the right intel!

You never know if that blog post about the “best resort” is actually true or just a cleverly edited fairy tale.

And let’s not even get started on those photoshopped hotel pictures that make places look like five-star palaces when they’re really more “rustic charm” than luxury.

So, who can you trust in this spooky travel landscape?

You can trust me!

I’ve been to most of the destinations I recommend. I do the legwork with site visits and property vetting like a travel detective.

And here’s the thing: Until I get to every resort, I have researched them extensively, so much so I feel like I have been there. I am also so grateful to have such a strong network of trusted colleagues and partners that I can call to give me the scoop.

Avoid the "vacation planning scaries". Let’s chat about your next Sandals or Beaches all inclusive vacation and make sure it’s a trip to remember (for all the right reasons)!

Sandals Royal Bahamian is calling your name!

Okay, it’s actually calling MY name all thanks to an itinerary I just finished for clients.

I booked them for a trip to Sandals Royal Bahamian, and the itinerary includes direct flights from Boston.

An offshore island, 10 dining options, including 2 new food trucks, and amazing snorkeling and scuba diving (also included!) are just some of the amazing highlights of this resort.

Pro Tip: Lynden Pindling International Airport in Nassau has PRECLEARANCE.

Did you know that if you're flying out of LPIA to the US you can clear customs and immigration BEFORE your flight?

The ease and convenience of this location makes it the perfect spot for a short trip or long weekend, but there is also plenty to keep you busy for a longer stay as well.

If you added up all the time you took scouring the web, reading travel blogs, social media, and trying to juggle multiple Pinterest boards to get your last vacation planned, what would it add up to?

Hours? Days? Months? If you said “too many to count” or “It was so much time that I lost track”, I would have been right there with you before I was a travel agent.

These days I know Sandals and Beaches Resorts like the back of my hand and can pull together flights, accommodations, transfers, and all of the little details effortlessly.

Not to mention, I’ve spent hundreds of hours traveling, learning, and making travel industry connections — all so travel planning doesn’t have to take up hours and hours of my clients’ time.

I recently renewed my CATP certification.

I have a Masters in Education and I’ve spent the last 18 years working with children with developmental delays and medical special needs.

When I opened my business I wanted to continue to support these families that have always been very special to me.

One of the many reasons I love Beaches Resorts is that they are the first resort company in the world to complete the rigorous IBCCES training and Autism Certification.

The kids camps are Advanced Certified Autism Centers and the team members receive in depth training in these areas.

Julia from Sesame Street is around the resorts and offers various activities for families.

Special dietary requirements are no problem at Sandals and Beaches. (My son has food allergies and I was very impressed with the culinary concierge process to ensure he had any meal he wanted at any restaurant he wanted.)

Beaches has a sensory guide for each resort.

Beaches hosts Autism Inclusion Week each September.

If you have any questions or would like a copy of the sensory guide please comment below or send me a message!

Bon Voyage to my clients heading to Beaches Turks and Caicos!

Here’s how I helped them get their dream trip planned:

We started with a video call where we chatted about their interests and preferences.

I have personally visited BTC twice in the last year so it was easy to make recommendations about dates to go, what rooms to stay in, etc.

I got to work on their proposal which they quickly approved. I put a complimentary 7 day hold on the room while they got their flights booked.

I sent them resort information, tips and tricks, and packing lists, to help them prepare for all the fun actives the resort has to offer.

With my extensive knowledge of the resorts and first hand experiences, I make it my mission to save my clients hours of researching, help make their planning stress free, and make sure they get the best value for their vacation dollars.

Join my group Golden Times Travel | All Inclusive, Honeymoon, and Family Travel Tips to find out the 5 items I can’t go without on my all-inclusive trips to Sandals and Beaches Resorts!

What is one random thing you always pack on vacation?

Mine is this mesh hammock float! I brought it to 4 different resorts this summer, it was so easy to use and carry around, and it didn’t take up much luggage space!

You might be wondering, “Why should I book my Sandals/Beaches all-inclusive vacation through a travel agent when I can book online?”

One big reason is that I make it my mission to know these resorts like the back of my hand so I can give my clients the best, most tailored advice.

With 65 nights personally spent at Sandals and Beaches:

✅ I have insider knowledge that you won’t find on those sites.
Some details can only be uncovered through personal experience, and I’ve had the privilege of visiting these resorts, getting behind-the-scenes tours, and speaking directly with the staff.

So, instead of spending hours combing through online reviews, just reach out to me. I’ve got the vetted, reliable info you need — no guesswork involved.
