🌴Have you experienced the bliss of an All-Inclusive Resort? 🌴

From serene beaches to exotic destinations & cultural experiences, these resorts truly have it all. In the past year, I have received a HUGE influx of people requesting information on All-Inclusive Resorts & I can understand why!

🏝 Staying at an All-Inclusive Resort is the perfect stress-free, relaxing vacation. I love that they're a "one-stop solution" for guests as everything is bundled into one price, including accommodations, meals & drinks, activities, etc. There's no need to worry about constantly reaching for your wallet as everything is included, which is perfect for guests who are on a strict budget!

🏄‍♀️A common misconception about All-Inclusive Resorts are that they only offer Adult-Only options & that couldn't be farther from the truth. They are great for families too, with some resorts even offering kids' clubs & activities allowing parents some downtime. Kids are happy, parents are happy.. it's a win-win situation!

⛱ Picking the best All-Inclusive Resort for your travel party is HARD, but that's where I come into play! As your dedicated Travel Advisor, I'm here to share all the ins & outs of each resort, ensuring you have all the info you need to pick the perfect one that truly suits your style & preferences.

When you're ready to turn those vacation dreams into reality, just drop me a message! I can't wait to start planning your perfect getaway, wherever that may be. 🌺

This is sort of how the last couple weeks have felt 😜🥴 BUT I’m still here planning lots for vacations! Who is next?? 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️

One of the MANY reasons I love Disney… Rapunzel made this sweet video for my son, Collin, while I was on the Disney Treasure. I told her that she and Pascal were his favorites and she said “let me make a video message to him!” 🥰 Who is ready to experience the Disney Magic? 🙋‍♀️ #disneycruiseline #disneytreasure #thedisneymagic #charactermeetandgreet #rapunzelandpascal

Off we gooooo!!! 👋🛳️

We are all good here at Yacht Club. There are branches, leaves and shingles scattered around, but for the most part, everything is good. Parks are still closed for today - we are hopeful they will reopen tomorrow. And we are still waiting to hear about our cruise that is supposed to sail on Saturday 🤞 Overall, I am very grateful we are safe and we can be outside enjoying the day. I know some are not as lucky and I continue to pray for them as they come out of this storm. ❤️

✨ Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point ✨ The Junkanoo Celebration is SO much fun and I love that it is a part of the Bahamian tradition with a little Disney flare! 🥁🪘 There is a local Junkanoo group that leads the parade, including Disney characters, filled with music and dancing 💃🕺 If you plan to take a Disney cruise that stops at Lookout Cay, don’t miss RUSH! a Junkanoo Celebration!! 🎊 #lookoutcayatlighthousepoint #disneycruiseline #junkanoo #celebrate #parade #disneycharacters

I’m in trouble with this one… 🤪 #disneyland #darthvader #darkside #thecharmingtravelco

Just groovin’ through Mickey’s house and Disneyland Park today 😊

✨When you’re traveling with kids, having a packing system is a lifesaver! I have been doing this since my kids were babies to be sure everyone had what they needed and I wasn’t forgetting anything. It has saved my sanity many times 🤪 🎒 Now that they are older, they mostly pack themselves, but I still lay it all out to double check their work. How do you organize for a trip, especially if you have a larger family? 🤔 #familyvacation #packingtips #savethesanity #familyof6 #californiaherewecome
