Aruba to Zion Vacations

Today I am heading into NYC on the train to the New York Travel & Adventure Travel Show. This is the second year I am attending and looking forward to expanding my knowledge to better help serve my clients. My day is jammed packed with speakers & suppliers from all over the world. On top of all that goodness, I am looking forward to spending time at the show with my good friend and colleague Christopher from Zephyr Global Travels. Stay tuned to my stories today!

(Picture Explanation: My son Harrison gave me his study Corney Dog to bring with me on the train. It was so sweet but too big to bring. Love him so much! )

Sometimes the best place to stay by the ocean is right at your own campsite! We stayed here when we traveled to the OBX in our travel trailer. What you can’t see in this picture is the walkway what is below that straight horizon line. It was wide enough for people to walk and ride a golf cart right next to the water without obstructing peoples view’s from their RV or cabin site. .

This is an example of the type of details we put into our clients RV vacations. If you have an RV and want to travel on a road trip to see the hidden gems of America or its National Parks we are here to help! Sign up for a complimentary consultation ⬇️

It can be challenging to find the room you are looking for with a family of 5 at Walt Disney World; however, we knew exactly where to look for this young family. That's right the Disney's Art of Animation Resort. This resort offers themed family suites with the Lion King, Cars and The Little Mermaid.

Have you ever stayed at the Disney's Art of Animation Resort in a Family Suite?

Sending prayers to all of those affected in the Los Angeles wildfires!

A special prayer and thank you to the firefighters and EMS putting your lives on the line to protect not only the citizens, their homes and businesses, but iconic landmarks, national/state parks & monuments and everything else effected in the tourism industry.

Even those of us way over in New England, on the complete opposite side of the country , know LA is STRONG! We know you WILL get through this devastation and rebuild STRONGER and BRIGHTER then ever⭐️🌄⭐️🌇⭐️

Amen 🙏

As 2024 comes to an end and 2025 begins, I want to take a moment to thank all of you! All of you who have supported me with my Travel Agency from the beginning and especially all of you who have trusted me with your travel plans.

We all know with technology today it’s easy to book your own trip on the internet, but what you don’t get is that concierge service and attention to detail. That person who studies where you are traveling to so you get the best experience possible.

I say all this as I was watching Dick Clark’s Rockin New Years Eve and toggling back and forth between the Nashville New Years Party and an ad popped up for a place where you can book vacations on. I started to actually think about how valuable my job is as an agent. If someone was to book with them yes it’s super easy, but what happens if….! Exactly, no one to answer the phone, no one to go above and beyond , no one to give that personal touch! My travel agency is based around customer service and attention to detail. It thrives on making people’s dreams come true and I just don’t understand how a computer program can do that.

Anyway, enough talking about the commercials. Did anyone see Jelly Roll tonight or Carrie Underwood! They rocked it out.

Happy New Year to all of you. I am proud and honored you choose to follow me and plan your vacations with me. It means the world to me especially so I can work from home to be there for my two little boys 💚

This week I participated in ASTA’s Virtual River Cruise Week. I met with all different River Cruise companies were I learned about what their ships had to offer my clients and the destinations they travel too. It was a great experience and I built so many connections for each cruise line.
