Hard to believe we’re already halfway through March. I’ll admit, sharing updates here has taken a back seat to planning some pretty incredible trips. Europe has been front and center lately. Even with the Jubilee happening this year, Italy has been as popular as ever—right up there with France. Closer to home, I’ve been working on getaways to Hawaii, Mexico, and the Caribbean, including Saint Lucia, Aruba, and Turks and Caicos just to name a few. Japan has also been making frequent appearances on my client calendar! I’ve been helping plan several spring break family trips—some are theme park experiences, while others are relaxing resort stays just a flight away, like the Gulf Shores or the Florida Keys. Beyond the hotels and transportation, I’ve been spending time enhancing my clients’ vacations with city planning services—helping with restaurant recommendations, securing dining reservations, and arranging tours and activities to make their time away as personalized and effortless as possible. On a more personal note, this photo is from our niece’s beautiful wedding this past weekend. It was such a special day, and a great reminder of how important it is to slow down sometimes. I’ve got a few personal and professional trips coming up (very) soon, and I’m attending a regional industry event this week—but I’m here, working behind the scenes on every itinerary, one detail at a time. If any of these destinations or types of trips are on your radar, now’s a great time to start planning, and I’d love to help

Excited to be planning a dream trip to Japan for a wonderful couple checking this destination off their bucket list! Working closely with a preferred partner, we’ve handled every detail—private transfers, pre-loaded transportation cards, a mobile Wi-Fi device, top-tier lodging, a reserved rental car, and curated tours.

Imagine the hours of research it would take to put all of this together solo. Instead, we had a seamless consult call with our partner, walking through their itinerary step by step, answering questions, and making sure they feel fully prepared.

Some highlights? Private and completely customized guided city tours in Tokyo and Kyoto, a traditional tea ceremony, a market shopping and cooking class, an Osaka street food tour, a scenic drive around Mt. Haruna, Universal Studios Japan with express passes, and more.

This has already been such a fun trip to design, and I’m looking forward to being there for them every step of the way leading up to their adventure! Have you visited Japan before or is this destination on your list, too?

After working closely with a returning family to find the next perfect destination for their needs, we’ve successfully reserved their getaway for this upcoming New Year! They’ll be ringing in 2026 in a 3-bedroom oceanfront villa at a Caribbean resort that offers something for everyone and checks all their boxes.

I’m so grateful for their continued trust and the chance to be part of their travels from start to finish. It’s incredibly meaningful to help bring these moments to life, knowing how much the right destination and seamless planning can elevate a trip. That’s exactly what I do for all my clients—learning what matters most to them and handling every detail so they can simply show up and enjoy.

If you’re already thinking about your next getaway, let’s make it happen.

Alaska is in high demand, and I’ve been curating more of these incredible journeys than ever. This week, I helped a couple secure their dream 14-day adventure for next July—glaciers, wildlife, and nonstop exploration await. Next up? Securing the perfect shore excursions to bring Alaska’s culture and landscapes to life.

Pro tip: Having personally cruised and toured Alaska by land, I can’t stress enough how important excursions are for this destination. Seeing it from the ship is one thing—experiencing it up close is another.

Summer 2026 bookings are already filling fast. If Alaska is on your list, now’s the time to plan.

Central America is calling—and so many of my clients are answering! Destinations like Costa Rica and Belize are captivating travelers looking for that ideal mix of thrill and relaxation. Whether you’re a family, honeymooners, or a solo adventurer, Central America truly has something special.

I begin by helping clients determine if these destinations align with their unique travel style and vision. When it’s a match, I partner with a trusted tour company to design personalized, unforgettable itineraries that bring the magic of Central America to life.

For example, I’m currently organizing an adventure-packed journey for a family exploring Arenal and Manuel Antonio, complete with rappelling, white-water rafting, zip-lining, surfing lessons, and a jungle night walk. For honeymooners, I’m crafting a romantic jungle-and-beach stay with experiences like cave tubing and a sail and snorkel tour. And for a solo traveler celebrating a birthday, I’ve created a custom jungle and beach itinerary, blending their preferred mix of adrenaline with relaxation.

With every detail expertly managed, these trips are as seamless as they are unforgettable. If Central America is on your radar, let’s chat about making it the perfect fit for your next escape!

I absolutely adore hearing from my cherished clients and care about each trip as if it were my own.

The drivers were so nice, hotels were stunning, and we loved every city. I cannot thank you enough for making our honeymoon so seamless!!! Can’t wait for the next trip with you ❤️❤️” It was such a joy personalizing this special trip with you, and I look forward to planning with you again in the future!

I am beyond grateful to have assisted with this unforgettable journey! Here’s what one of my amazing clients had to say about their recent Rhine River adventure! “We recently booked a Rhine River adventure cruise with Shannon, via Avalon Waterways. We had the MOST amazing vacation and were able to relax thanks to the excellent planning. She checked in on our departure and arrival. Even when a few tiny hiccups arose, Shannon was available to respond quickly with answers. We will be happy to use Shannon again for planning our next trip to Disney as well!” It was a pleasure organizing this trip with you, and I appreciate you sharing your experience!

10/18/2024

Seeing the world through my clients’ eyes is always a gift. Here’s what this sweet couple had to say about their unforgettable Rhine cruise from Basel to Amsterdam: “It was a fabulous trip. Our veranda suite was really special. The staff is top notch…run like an upscale boutique hotel. I will definitely call you when we are ready to plan our next trip.” Thank you so much for planning with me!

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!

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.
