While I was in classroom training to learn more about Azamara Cruises, Emma was able to tour the port.

-at full capacity, each ship can carry 700 passengers.
-2:1 ratio for staff to passenger. Meaning a lot of attention to all of your needs
-food is delicious!
-ALL drinks included!! Gratuities are included!
And more!

I LOVE that my stateroom aboard the Azamara Pursuit has not 0, not 1, BUT 2 U.S. plug outlets!!! And theyā€™re the 3-prong, so my computer can charge!!! Itā€™s the little things.

I arrived into Rome yesterday after a sleepless flight over. One day Iā€™ll either have the air status, or the money to fly first class!
Headed to the pier today to check in for my first Azamara Cruise!!! Sailing from Rome up through the Italian and French Riviera, ending in Monaco. Follow me to learn about my itinerary, the ship, and all the food I atešŸ˜œ.

I was just reminded why I, number 1, try to avoid connections for myself and clients through London Heathrow. And number 2, why I wonā€™t give anyone a connection of less than 2 hours here. Honestly, I should probably change that to a minimum of 2.5-3 hours. So many shuttles and terminals, and very strict security, and longggg wings of gates.

We stayed in Antwerp, Belgium all day today. Our boat didnā€™t leave until 11pm. Really nice to have lots of time here. We had lunch in town, then went on a 3 hour history/chocolate walking tour! Dinner on the ship was a beer pairing and was delicious and so much fun!

2nd 1/2 of the day spent in Dordrecht. I know these pictures must all look like Amsterdam with the canals. But the are really quaint, small, quiet towns that are so charming. Totally different vibe from Amsterdam.

Tomorrow Iā€™m off to travel more of the world! Iā€™m flying to Amsterdam!!! After 2 nights there Iā€™ll be boarding a 7 night Avalon River cruise through Belgium. Check back here over the next week for live videos of the staterooms, and tours of the ship šŸ˜.

I canā€™t take credit for these words. But I agree 100% with them! Sharing a travel agent friends post. Too good not to share.

āš ļøPSA from your favorite Travel AdvisoršŸ‘‹

šŸ‘‰If you know you want to travel over spring break (March or April) start planning like, yesterday.šŸ˜‰

šŸ‘‰Pricing is upā€¦everywhere. Including all things travel. What you could get for 3k a few years ago is not available now. And, Iā€™m sorry but I donā€™t have access to some secret vault with bargain basement prices on airfare. šŸ™ƒ

šŸ‘‰ā€Dealsā€ are harder and harder to come by. So gambling time to see if the price comes down may leave you with less than ideal options (and/or) increased pricing.

šŸ‘‰Availablity is already low for summer travel. This is not a scare tactic- itā€™s honest and based on my research for current client requests.

šŸ‘‰This is busy season for our industry- so patience on our replies is SO appreciated!

šŸ‘‰If you use a travel advisor (even if itā€™s not me) please please please donā€™t waste our time looking up trips that you arenā€™t sure will happen. The internet is for looking, weā€™re here for booking. I want to help everyone but there arenā€™t enough hours in the day and Iā€™m still trying to recoup my losses from 4 years ago. šŸ˜±

If you made it this far- youā€™re a rockstar.

Iā€™m so excited for all the vacays already booked, and all the new and repeat clients Iā€™ll get to send on their dream trips this year!

01/26/2024

Happy 2024! Every year after the holidays are over the travel industry gets crazy. We call it WAVE season. Everyone wants to plan and go on vacations, and they all want to plan now. Plan For spring break, plan for the summer, and plan for the 2024 holiday season. When I compare sales amounts from last January to this January, I am already up, and I still have a few days to go. For perspective, last year was one of my best years since I've been a travel advisor. So, I'm off to a great start! (shout out to repeat clients, clients who recommend me, and to my many friends who have a dual job as client:) I usually see some trends as WAVE season begins each year. This year is all about Europe! I'm planning a LOT of trips to Greece, Italy, and Germany. People want to ocean cruise, they want to river cruise, and they want to just be touring on land. I still have a pretty steady Caribbean crew too. But Europe is big again for 2024! Where do you want to go? It's never too early to plan!

ā€œWhere IS Curacao??ā€ Itā€™s part of the ABC islands, Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao. Far south in the Caribbean, far to the west of Barbados. The flight from Miami is just under 3 hours. Sandals resort is a 40ish transfer from the airport. Since Curacao is below the hurricane belt, itā€™s a great idea for fall travel! This resort is beautifulā¤ļø The nights are completely cozy with all of the lit pathways, fire pits, palm trees, plentiful bars and outdoor eating spots. This is a big property. But there are plenty of bikes everywhere to use from here to there. Which I loved!
Iā€™m NOT ready to leave! Thank you Sandals Resorts.

This is a great article explaining the perks of staying city center in Europe instead of saving a few euros to stay near a rail station 15 minutes away. You may not be saving anything at all in the end. The convenience of staying city-center, near restaurants and sights, and having your hotel to pop in to for breaks, is really worth it!

Staying in Venice was expensive, so we booked a hotel 15 minutes away, just outside the city center. We spent a lot on trains to Venice, and we ended up not saving money with our hotel pick. We also missed out on many cool moments in Venice and couldn't take breaks at our hotel.

Yesterday I spent the day at Sandals CuraƧao. (Whatā€™s/whereā€™s curaƧao? Itā€™s one one of the ABC islands far south. Under the hurricane belt!) This is a new property to Sandals, opening last year. Iā€™ve been trying to find the words to explain the feel of this property. While I love all of the Sandals resort properties, which all have a very unique vibe, feel and look, THIS property completely ā€œwowedā€ me. Truly a 5 star luxury feel. My pictures donā€™t do the property justice. You can view more on the Sandals website. But remember, the website is for looking. Call me for booking! šŸ˜¬

Iā€™m headed to tour Sandals Curacao today! Check back later for pictures and thoughts.

Bryce canyon!!! We stayed at the Lake Powell Resort for a second night, then drove to Bryce Canyon. We hiked all the way down- and back up !- and we saw amazing overlooks too. This comes in at a close second as one of my favorite places on this trip! ( antelope slot canyon is probably number 1)

Weā€™re staying at the Lake Powell Resort in Glen Canyon. Had to wake up early to get our hiking/sightseeing done because of the heat. (I donā€™t care how dry it is:) headed to horseshoe bend first. The shadow in the picture just doesnā€™t do this justice. It was gorgeous. And look! Iā€™m on a rock! Overlooking it! Without rails!
My highlight of today, and probably what I was most excited to for this whole week, was antelope slot canyon. Our Navajo guide was amazing!!!!! Not only for her explanations, but also for her iPhone photo tutorials, which helped us take the best photos! No edits!

On to Lake Powell from the Grand Canyon! We stopped at Cameronā€™s trading post along the way. Then onto monument valley. We had lunch at Gouldings, which was REALLY good! Took a truck/jeep tour of all the monuments. Itā€™s crazy to see what nature has created. Unbelievable really. Next 2 nights at the lake Powell lodge. Adventures tomorrow!!! Iā€™ll wait to post those. SO excited!

08/07/2023

Yesterday was filled with adventure! It was our last full day at the Grand Canyon. One great thing about this particular tour is the free time thatā€™s included to explore on your own. If we had not opted for the optional helicopter tour, we would have had the entire day to ourselves. We still had time to head to Bright Angel lodge and hike down the trail- but I only lasted about 1/4 mile. I have a bit of anxiety with heights. Yet somehow I was convinced to fly over the Grand Canyon! (šŸ‘€ Emma eckler!). Although my eyes were closed the whole time, Emma got some great videos.

We left Phoenix early this morning and headed towards the south rim of the Grand Canyon. With a few hours to explore beautiful, funky Sedona on the way. ( vortexes! Physic readings!) we made it to the Yavapai Lodge, INSIDE the park! Weā€™re staying here for 2 nights before we head to lake Powell. Photo dump of todays adventures with Emma Eckler on Globus Tours!
The amount of stars in the sky here, without all of the city lights, is just unreal! I used my Sky Tonight app to see the constellations. We were awed.

Iā€™m in Phoenix! Staying 1 night at the Arizona Biltmore then over for 1 night at Hilton Tapatio cliffs. My daughter and I are beginning a Globus group tour of the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, Zion, and ending in Vegas with Katy Perry. ( Katy Perry not included with Globus!šŸ˜¬). Lots of stops in between too, which Iā€™ll be documenting along the way.
Globus is a guided group tour operator. They travel all over Europe, and the U.S. If you donā€™t want to think about your bags, or how youā€™re getting to that tour on the other side of town, or how to get to that next city, then Globus is a great alternative!

Traveling is already stressful enough: packing, getting to the airport, going through security, and a dozen other things you must deal with on your way to your destination.

THANK YOU!. Thank you to all of my friends, family and clients. For support, for referrals, for your business. My company year is from August 1st-July 31st. And from August of 2022 through July of 2023 I have already made Circle of Excellence Status. In my 10 years as a travel advisor, this has been the best year I've ever had! After more than a year of not receiving a paycheck, due to covid, I'm so grateful that the travel bug has returned. I'm in constant awe of the support of my family and friends who are constantly supporting me through referrals, through advice, and through encouragement. Thank you to all of my amazing clients and repeat clients. I have built my business without advertising. It's grown thanks to you for booking with me, repeating to book with me, and for referring me to a friend for their bookings. I feel humbled to have a job a love, surrounded by people I love. Thank youšŸ˜!

Patience. Pack a lot of that when you travel. No, really. Hereā€™s my personal story:) I was to depart for a vacation with my daughter to Turks and Caicos last Saturday. As of 4am the flight was on time. Soon after going through security, and arriving at my gate, I learned my flight was delayed and Iā€™d miss my connection. Which happened to be my only flight into Turks that day. I quickly went to a gate agent who put me and my 2 traveling companion on standby another route, hopefully still making to our destination that day. It wasnā€™t looking good as the plane was full. Somehow, some how!, we all 3 made our flight and connection! Too bad our luggage didnā€™t fare as well. We were able to buy new suits, cover ups, dresses for dinner, even some sunglasses! ( all to be reimbursed ).
Here we are on the day of departure. At the Turks and Caicos airport, ready to depart, when we receive notice of delay. After delay. After delay. No way weā€™ll make our connection home. Flight is scheduled to depart Turks at midnight to Miami. (šŸ˜³). Weā€™re supposed to get our hotel voucher in Miami. Maybe our luggage will also make it this time.
Many calls to American Airlines- who were really great with options actually. Much waiting in lines. 2 glasses of wine- thank goodness the 1 place that serves is still open. Thankful for a great book. And for patience. Which I packed. But might need a wash when I get home.

Beaches resort Turks and Caicos, never disappoints! Mother daughter trip to this beautiful island and resort. They are in the process of building even more multi-bedroom villas! These villas always sell out quickly! Reach out to me if you have any questions about this resort, or if youā€™d like a quote for your family in the future.
