Ready to immerse yourself in the magic of Europe’s most spectacular Christmas markets? Here are three unforgettable destinations to add to your holiday bucket list:

✨ Vienna, Austria – At the historic Rathausplatz, Vienna’s Christmas Market comes to life with over 150 stalls selling everything from artisan crafts to warm, spiced punch. Twinkling lights drape the gothic architecture, and the scent of roasted chestnuts fills the air. It’s a classic, can’t-miss holiday experience.

✨ Strasbourg, France – Known as the ‘Capital of Christmas,’ Strasbourg’s market dates back to 1570. Wander through charming wooden chalets nestled under the city’s dazzling Great Christmas Tree. From traditional Alsatian treats to festive concerts, it’s a true holiday wonderland.

✨ Colmar, France – For a more intimate experience, head to Colmar, a hidden gem in the Alsace region. With fairytale-like streets lined with half-timbered houses, this market is a feast for the senses. Enjoy delicious mulled wine as you explore the market’s five festive areas, each with its own theme and charm.

Whether you love classic festivities or off-the-beaten-path gems, these markets are sure to fill your 2025 holidays with wonder. Start planning now!

What are some of your Halloween memories? How about a place to travel with a spooky theme?

Apparently, 46 years ago today, the movie HALLOWEEN was released. It was made in 17 days for $300,000 with a young, hungry, ambitious and talented group of filmmakers led by and the late, great, Debra Hill. It changed the lives of all who participated and certainly mine. My favorite quote is from a book by from her book Special Topics In Calamity Physics. "Life hinges on a couple of seconds you never see coming. And what you decide in those few seconds determines EVERYTHING from then on... And you have no idea what you'll do until you're there." That certainly applies to everything in my life, personal and professional, and certainly what happened with this little movie. I'm grateful to the millions of people who continue to hold it near and dear to their cinematic experiences. I am forever grateful to John for the opportunity of a lifetime and I'm excited for Marissa's new book DARKLY!

We had an unexpected detour today. Instead of heading to Cozumel, we went to Taino Bay, Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic.

Changes happen sometimes on cruises...this one was because of a hurricane. You have to be flexible in your expectations and go with the flow...

Taino Bay is a super easy cruise port for families. You can get off the ship and enjoy a fantastic port shopping and entertainment complex with pools, music, bars and even a lazy river! This is all inside a secured complex...there is no reason to leave (unless you choose an excursion adventure).

We enjoyed our day shopping and having drinks with our feet in the water...

Do you have any questions about cruise ports? This one or another one?

When we come to events like this one, we do have a little fun, but we are also working, learning and connecting with travel partners who we can work with to co-create travel experiences that really impact your life.

Would you love to travel and know that your trip is making a positive impact in the destination that you are visiting?

This is one of our favorite partners, and they assign a score to each of their trips that measures how much of the money that you spend on the trip stays in the local community.

In addition, they look for ways to partner with local communities to give you fantastic, unique local experiences that you can't arrange on your own and also directly improve the lives of the people in the community.

Is immersive travel that benefits the community a travel style that interests you?

It was a perfect day today at CocoCay!

For those who don't know,.CocoCay is Royal Caribbean's exclusive beach escape. It is the perfect easy beach day for everyone.. adults, families, people who want chill and people who want to party.

There are fabulous play areas for kids, and a fantastic lagoon that is safe and friendly for the littlest swimmers.

There are fun bars, plenty of good food to eat, and music and other scheduled activities throughout the day.

Have you been to CocoCay? Would you love to spend the day here?

Did you know that we have travel partners that can help us to set up custom tours to explore your ancestry?

We met with a number of different partners today that can create and customize a private tour for your group to explore your unique family history and heritage.

Whether that includes Czech heritage, Irish heritage, Italian heritage...pretty much anywhere!

These tours will include heritage related stops as well as off the beaten path local experiences that you might not know about or be able to arrange on your own.

Have you ever thought of a private family heritage tour? Did you even know that this was possible? Reach out and we would love to use the knowledge that we have gained this week to help make this trip happen.

We love learning new things from our travel partners at events like this...many people know of Dreams as a fabulous all inclusive experience for families in the Caribbean...

Did you know that there are all inclusive Dreams Resorts in other parts of the world?

This is the Dreams resort in Corfu, Greece. If you have done the Caribbean and you are looking for something different (but equally easy and family friendly) for your next family adventure, this could be a perfect choice!

Imagine exploring the ancient wonders of Corfu, but having a family friendly nest to come back to after a day of exploring....reach out if we can help you get here...

We just checked into our beautiful home for the next few nights...we are staying at the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina.

The hotel is gorgeous...right on the waterway with a beautiful, inviting pool area (heading there shortly before we dive into work in a little bit).

We always love getting to experience a new resort firsthand, because this gives us valuable information and insider tips that we can use to help our clients plan the best possible vacation (I heard the rooftop bar has spectacular views...will check it out later for you)...

What do you think of the views?

Is an African safari on your bucket list? We worked with some great clients earlier this summer to plan a a once in a life time trip for them to Africa. We got to know them...we dug deep into exactly what they wanted out of the experience. These pictures from their trip show us that they got EXACTLY the experience that they had been dreaming about.

Part of our magic is having great partners in our toolbox. We work hard to build these relationships with out partners, and these relationships allow us to create magic like this for our clients.

Instead of going on the group tour that they had been considering, we worked with a luxury partner in Africa who designed this trip JUST for them (and they pretty much had a private guide and safari vehicle for the WHOLE TRIP!)

Our Story

We are Shanna and Aaron + kiddos. We are a travel addicted family of four who love to escape at every possible opportunity. Just like you…we have jobs and we have limited vacation time available, so we know how important is it is to make the most of it. When we travel, we love to focus on creating meaningful travel experiences that help us all learn about the world together and bring us closer as a family.

We feel strongly that travel is so important and beneficial for children, and that even at a very young age, those early travel experiences, the new sights, sounds, smells and tastes influence the delicate connections that are being formed so quickly in their brains.

We have never thought of whether or not we would take our kids with us on vacation…when the kids came, it was just assumed. It was never optional; it was just life. We took our son to France for a week before his first birthday.

There is so much travel “fluff” on the internet…I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW exactly what I am talking about. How many times can you read about “7 Things to do in X Destination” or “Best Bars in X City” and how much value does this type of information really give you when trying to plan the nuts and bolts of your family trip?
