Disneyland Paris is so accommodating for international guests. Songs, signs, ride instructions, performances, shows and parades are all sung/spoken in French and English. It made the experience feel so much like “home”.

When you go to Paris and fall in love with the Golden Pomme, you head straight to your local Patisserie with pictures and a request. Poupart Bakery, Inc.. knocked it out of the park. A little bit of Paris at home. 😋 ❤️

My family spent the last two weeks traveling through London and England. These are both places I’ve visited before but seeing them through my children’s eyes was such an incredible experience. If you have hesitations about international travel with children, my advice…TAKE THE TRIP! My children are so blessed to be well traveled. They’ve experienced countless beaches (domestic and international), Disney destinations, cruises and city touring but they’ve all agreed that this trip was their favorite. They loved experiencing new cultures, foods, people, languages, accents and shockingly history and architecture. But the real joys were the little moments of uncontrollable giggles, the evenings snuggled up in bed talking about what makes them happy and sad, the friendships among siblings that were deepened and the uninterrupted quality time. That’s the real joy! So whether it is a beach vacay, a camping trip, international travel….take the time to make the memories!
And remember, a travel advisor who is experienced in a destination can provide an experience that you can’t get from the internet, from chatting with friends or joining travel groups. At no cost to you, it’s a no brainer! 😉

My two favorite neighborhoods in London are Covent Garden: it’s hip, fun, vibrant and is alive 24/7 and South Kensington: posh, laid back, and gorgeous. We spent the first portion of our trip in Covent Garden and are spending the second part in South Kensington. Tonight, we had the most lovely evening at my favorite spot…Caffe’ Concerto. Exquisite desserts, tea, cocktails, classical music and a drool worthy atmosphere.

The views from the Arc de Triomphe are incredible. The crowds are significantly less than those for the Eiffel Tower and when you climb the Arc you actually get views of the Eiffel
Tower. Skip the craziness of the tower and opt for the Arc instead.

This white chocolate shell is filled with a creamy mouse, gooey apples and cake inside. This dessert is what dreams are made of. My favorite is the version from A. Lacroix Patisserie. In fact, all of my favorite desserts in Paris come from A. Lacroix.

🏥 Even on vacation, life happens! Fortunately, I was prepared ahead of time and my three littles got superb medical care at the most adorable local physicians office.
💰 Travel tip: ALWAYS purchase travel insurance. Not only will it cover your medical expenses, but it will reimburse you for your prepaid expenses that you didn’t get to enjoy while you sought medical care; in my case $180 worth of Windsor Castle tickets. ALWAYS get the insurance!

Afternoon Tea, not to be confused with High Tea, is a MUST when in England! 🫖 I’ve been to plenty of posh afternoon teas in elegant hotels and palaces (palaces, that’s right!) with bubbles 🥂 fine scones and clotted cream but this afternoon tea experience was a delight for the adults and the children. Delicious tea snacks and desserts, fine teas and hot chocolate accompanied by science experiments and FUN!

❗️Travel tip: book with an agent experienced in your destination and you’ll experience the best that destination has to offer.

When your 9 year old holds your hand and hugs you multiple times a day saying, “thank you, for bringing us here. I love you!” 🥰 🫠. Take them on vacation. Explore the world with them. Laugh the laughs. Make the memories. The time is now….they’ll be grow before you blink.

✈️ I will be away from my desk for the next few weeks making memories with my family at some of my favorite places. I will be available to service all in-travel clients and will be making payments on currently booked vacations as they are due. I will hold all other requests until I return home but will work as quickly as possible to get everyone taken care of. Thank you, for your patience, as I watch the look on wonder in my children’s eyes as they experience new things!

Let’s talk travel and packing 🧳
It’s no secret that ✈️ airlines occasionally “lose” luggage or that your 🚗 trunk can’t fit 10 suitcases, so packing as efficiently as possible is key. As I’m currently working on my capsule wardrobe for an upcoming trip, I’ll share some wardrobe tips to minimize luggage space and show you how you can pack up to 16 days in ONE carry-on bag.
