Happy Grandparent's Day to all grandparents. I'm so glad my kids were able to travel with my parents several times before my Mom passed away last year. I look forward to many future trips with my grandkids! Travel truly brings families together in a special way.

Today I have five couples returning home from trips... two couples from golfing and sightseeing in the UK and Ireland, two couples from an Alaskan cruise, and one couple from a guided tour of national parks in California. I've heard from each of them and they all talked about how great their trips were and thanked me for planning them. This is my favorite part of my job... knowing that I helped families have vacations full of special moments and memories.

Here’s the thing about booking your trip on a website like Expedia or Truvago versus working with me to plan your trip.

➡️ When you book online, you get passive support that leaves you mostly responsible for your booking.

When you plan with me, I’m a very active and involved partner in your trip. You’re not left to figure it out on your own.

➡️ When you book online, you’re directed to the airline, hotel, or tour company to sit on hold when things don’t go according to plan.

When you plan with me, you always have someone who can step in to assist. I know who to call for support, so you don’t have to sit on hold.

➡️ When you book online, you’re getting hotel, resort, and tour suggestions based on what a search algorithm thinks you should see. And in some cases, you’re seeing the options that have paid to be more visible.

When you plan with me, you’re getting unbiased personalized recommendations based on your unique travel preferences and what truly makes the most sense for the type of trip you want to take.

Just a few of the ways I’m different than booking online, and if you’re curious whether working with me makes sense for your next trip, don’t hesitate to send me an email at [email protected].

Day 10 of Top 10 Excursions Around the World:
Dog Sledding on Top of a Glacier

Since Alaska glaciers were one of my Seven Wonders of the World, there's no surprise that dog sledding on one is in my Top 10 list of excursions. We took a helicopter to the top of a glacier to go dog sledding while on an Alaska cruise in 2017, and this truly is one of my favorite excursions I've ever taken. The helicpter ride itself is worth the price of the excursion. But when you land on the top, with only the sled dogs and few other people around, you feel like you're on another planet. We got to pet the dogs and take a ride in the sled while they pulled us, just like being in the Iditarod race! The surrounding mountains and tons of powder white snow just made it even more breathtaking!

Day 9 of Top 10 Excursions Around the World:
Horseback Riding in St. Lucia

While visiting Sandals Halcyon Beach on the island of St. Lucia, we took a private horseback riding excursion. We rode through a historical park, banana groves, woods, and stopped at the beach. Our guide cut down fresh bananas, mangos, and coconuts for us to eat. It was an amazing experience.

Day 8 of Top 10 Excursions around the world:
Sailing in the Bay of Palma

While on a cruise in the Mediterranean, our multi-generational family went on a private sailing excursion in the Bay of Palma, of the island of Palma de Mallorca, Spain. It was a beautiful day to spend together as a family. We had access to paddleboards and large floats, a charcuterie for lunch, and incredible views all day long.

Day 6 of Top 10 Excursions Around the World:
Helcopter Ride with Doors Off in Volcanoes National Park Hawaii

While on the big island of Hawaii, we took a helicopter ride over an active volcano with the doors off! We could feel the heat of the lava and hear the rising steam. We got close enough to see lava flowing all throughout the middle of the volcano. And the view was super clear without windows so we could get great photos.

Day 6 of Top 10 Excursions Around the World:
Garden Tomb in Jerusalem, Israel

In 2018, a group from our church visited Israel on a special 10-day tour that took us to many sights where Jesus walked and where other stories from the Bible took place. One of the most meaningful was the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem. Even though this sight is a replica and not the exact tomb where Jesus was laid, it was still a reminder of the sacrifice He made for me. After walking in and around the tomb, our group had communion together. I will always be so grateful for this experience.

I love that employess of the chidlren's program and Beaches Resorts are trained and certified in the skills needed to care for children with autism. As they state on their website:

"Beaches is the first resort company in the world to complete the rigorous IBCCES training and Autism Certification! We are proud to offer families with children with autism and other special needs specialized service, engaging activities and custom dining options so that all families may enjoy a memorable, award-winning Beaches Luxury Included® experience."

If travel has been difficult for your family due to autism, consider taking a family vacation to a Beaches Resort, either during Autism Inclusion Week or anytime that is best for you!

Day 5 of Top 10 Excursions Around the World:
Elephant Ride to Amber Fort in Jaipur, India

While visiting India, some friends and I had the opportunity to ride an elephant to the top of a hill that the Amber Fort and Palace is built on. the elephants were beautifully decorated with paint, the ride was so fun, and the fort itself was a fascinating historical sight. After we finished visiting the fort, we also rode a camel in the city.

For me, participating in authentic experiences while visiting another country is the best part of the trip! I can help you determine not just what to SEE on a trip, but also what to DO to get the most out of the your experience.

Why would someone book a trip with a travel advisor instead of on the internet? Here are a few reasons...

Handpicked Accommodations: Not having to scour the internet with browser tabs toggled between multiple hotels or keep track of endless review sites that don’t actually give you any clarity.

Expert Recommendations: Whether I’m matching you to that lesser-known but amazing local guide or helping you decide which tours and experiences best suit your style, I’m sharing insights from my personal travel experiences and my network of travel experts around the world.

Reclaiming time: I save my clients dozens of hours and weeks, or sometimes even months, of scouring the internet trying to figure out what to book and how to pull a great trip together.

If you haven’t experienced the absolute relief and ease of having an expert take care of your travel plans, I promise you it is SUCH a good feeling.

I'm here when you’re ready to travel with ease!

Day 4 of Top 10 Excursions Around the World: Harry Potter Studios in London, England

We took our daughter to London and Paris for her Senior Trip and her number one request was to see the Harry Potter Studios. It seemed like every set, prop, mask, costume, and vehicle in the movies were located in these studios. You could see how things were made and how they were filmed. It’s quite fascinating for those who love Harry Potter, or just love any cinema.

Day 3 of Top 10 Excursions Around the World: Amalfi Coast

When our Mediterranean cruise stopped in Naples, Itlay, we took a driving tour of the Amalfi Coast and visited the towns of Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello. The coastline was steep and the road was windy, but the views were incredible and I really enjoyed the small, coastal towns with quaint shops, bakeries, and historic churches. It was also fascinating to see the homes and other buildings built into the tall cliffs.

Day 2 of Top 10 Excursions Around the World: Bamboo Rafting on the Yulong River in Yangshuo, China

Even as I write about it, I'm amazed that I had the opportunity to take a guided bamboo rafting trip in a rural town of China. It was such an authentic experience as we saw the Chinese people farming, fishing, and using the river to transport goods. Visiting popular tourist sights can be a great experience, but getting off the beaten path to see the way of life of the people who live there can be even more meaningful and insightful.

I can help you find these types of experiences anywhere in the world that you want to go. Contact me and let's get started planning a trip for you that includes some truly authentic experiences.

Day 1 of the Top 10 Excursions Around the World:
Rainforest Hike in El Yunque Forest in Puerto Rico.

We took this trip for my son's high school graduation. He is quite the thrill seeker, so I found a guided excursion in the rainforest that included hiking, rock sliding, rappelling down waterfalls, swimming, cliff jumping, and zip lining. It was such an amazing experience that we all talk about going back someday. The views were beauiful, and the guides were so helpful in teaching us each of the skills along the way and helping us feel safe and have fun.
