Enjoying spring break planning with a wonderful family who was seeking the ideal blend of relaxation, adventure, and quality time together. After learning more about their ideal vision for this getaway, I immediately thought of the perfect resort that checks every box:

☑ Warm, tropical destination
☑ Relaxed atmosphere, with plenty of activities like a kids’ club, water sports, and fun events right on-site to keep the little ones entertained
☑ Close enough to drive if plans change unexpectedly

The cherry on top for mom and dad? There is also a spa, adults-only pool, pickleball, a marina offering fishing trips and boat tours, and more – all designed with their relaxation and enjoyment in mind as well. I can’t wait to see this family create unforgettable memories in a place that feels like it was tailor-made just for them!

Honored to be planning another journey for one of my cherished clients, this time in celebration of their 10th wedding anniversary! After thoughtful discussions, we’re planning the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure—a Royal Caribbean cruise to the Bahamas. From lounging by the pool under the sun to snorkeling in turquoise waters, every moment will be a celebration of their decade together. Thank you for entrusting me with such a meaningful occasion. Cheers to love, memories, and many more adventures ahead!

Planning a romantic Italian honeymoon is always a joy, and I’m thrilled to assist a special couple with their unforgettable journey! They’ll explore the timeless beauty of Rome, the artistic splendor of Florence, and the charm of a picturesque town on the Ligurian Riviera between Genoa and Cinque Terre. As foodies, their culinary adventures will be just as memorable: mastering the art of pasta in a cooking class, savoring a private dinner where they collaborate with the chef, spending a full day visiting San Gimignano with a lunch and wine tasting, and experiencing the warmth of a local Roman dinner party. I’m excited to handle all the details so they can immerse themselves in the magic of Italy and each other!

Recap of the final day at - more fantastic opportunities to connect and learn. I attended additional boardroom presentations, adding to the wealth of knowledge I’ve gained over the past few days. Another round of 26 face-to-face meetings allowed for deeper conversations and valuable networking. The highlight of the day was the closing reception hosted by . The 80s-themed party was a fun and lively way to cap off the event, filled with great music, vibrant energy, and wonderful company. Fun fact: Travel Advisors are great dancers, too! 😎 I am incredibly grateful for all the hard work the GTM Elite team put into making this event a success.

Recap of day two at - what a whirlwind of inspiration and connection. The day started with a breakfast session and boardroom presentations from remarkable suppliers, a mix of familiar faces and exciting new partnerships. Throughout the day, I engaged in 26 one-on-one meetings, each one offering valuable insights and deepening connections within the industry. The highlight of the day was an exclusive, hand-picked invitation to dinner with a distinguished supplier from Greece. This dinner not only opened doors to a promising new relationship but also introduced me to an exquisite dining experience in Fort Lauderdale. For any of my clients visiting the area, I will absolutely highly recommend this restaurant—especially the fried feta drizzled with honey, which was such a surprise!!

As we look forward to what today has in store, I am filled with gratitude for the opportunities to learn, connect, and grow. Stay tuned for more updates!

I wanted to take a moment to catch my breath and say hello and happy Monday! It’s been an exciting and busy season, and I’ve been fully immersing myself in crafting exceptional experiences for my clients. To catch you up on a little behind the scenes action, I’ve been guiding families through the Disney parks and their Genie+ strategies, helping plan both fall and spring break Disney trips (including Disneyland!), working on the perfect game plans for Disney Cruise Line activity bookings, recommending pre-cruise hotels in port cities, crafting completely custom European itineraries, setting up airport transfers, designing personalized documents with destination tips and recommendations, researching ideal flight schedules, and so much more. I love being able to connect with incredible people this way and become a part of their unforgettable journeys. From curating your perfect escapes alongside you to sharing in the magic of your travel stories, my heart finds joy in each memory we create together. Each of your adventures inspire me, and being part of something so special to your families is the most rewarding part of my role. Thank you for following along!

What’s your favorite cuisine from around the world? For me, Italian food is my love language. I could eat it every single day. Earlier this month, we celebrated our birthdays and wedding anniversary at the newest location of our favorite local Italian restaurant, where they make the pasta in-house and the mozzarella fresh to order. It was the perfect choice for such special occasions. What international dishes make your heart skip a beat?

While many travelers working with advisors are taking fairly big trips that require many months of planning, I want to take this time to share that there is also a benefit to planning with us for those smaller weekend trips as well! I have a dear client family that came to me with their summer plans to see some baseball games in Texas. Because they booked their hotel stay with me, they have access to my exclusive partner perks not available to the general public. They will be receiving $100 food and beverage credit per room, complimentary breakfast daily, and early check-in/ late check-out upon availability. This resort also offers downtown car service complimentary, which is another wonderful benefit they will have access to during their stay. I absolutely love assisting my clients with trips of any size!

05/01/2024

Gratitude fills my heart as I reflect on the privilege of pursuing my passion every single day. I am endlessly thankful for the remarkable clients who trust me with their most valuable investments: their vacations. To those who return year after year and graciously refer me to their friends and family, your satisfaction, confidence, and trust in my services fuel my unwavering dedication. Thank you for making this journey so fulfilling and rewarding.

Excitement is building as I help curate a journey along the Rhine for a special client. When they shared with me they wanted to do a river cruise, and Germany was important to include as they wanted to honor family history, I dug deep and found an itinerary that was just the perfect fit with five German port cities. We’ve discussed and reserved adventures at every stop along the way for a fully immersive experience. From a visit to the Black Forest, many historic walking tours, enjoying a lively brauhaus beer tasting and dinner, to visiting a cheese farm in the beautiful Dutch countryside, their eagerness and motivation behind their travel desires fuels my passion for crafting personalized adventures. I am so thrilled for this lovely couple to have such a meaningful trip of a lifetime!

❝Shannon was AMAZING to work with! Not only did she save us over $1,500 by helping us find the best hotel deals, but she also acted as our personal concierge - booking rides for us while we were in the midst of taking rides, so everything was ready for us when we got out. Happily, we were not one of those families who had to be buried in their phones for the whole Disney vacation. She made everything easy, and I have already recommended her to friends planning their own Disney vacations!❞

I am immensely grateful for my clients who trust me with their travel dreams. Your support means the world to me. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey and sharing your experience.

Experiencing has been an absolute dream! As someone deeply entrenched in the travel industry, I’ve seen it all, but nothing quite compares to this level of VIP treatment.

Whether I’m enjoying dinner, grabbing a drink, or enjoying the onboard entertainment, the level of pampering is unmatched. We are 5 nights into our 11-night Panama Canal journey, and I can confidently say it has been pure bliss and I am looking forward to all that is still to come.

Literal tears fell down my cheeks today as my friend and client’s son Roury was surprised by a real life Jedi Master (@thejustinaldridge) with the Jedi Training Academy previously at Hollywood Studios. The stars truly aligned as we worked to figure out the best way to share this exciting news with him and we are so thankful for Justin’s knowledge and time spent teaching Roury so much for his upcoming magical vacation! THIS is my WHY. ✨💛
