👻 The only thing that should be scary this season is your Halloween costume – not your travel plans! Don’t let the stress of planning haunt you; use a travel advisor for a smooth trip that’s fright-free. We’ll handle the details, so you can focus on boo-tiful moments. 🧳🌍

Dearest Gentle Travelers,

One hears the whispers, does one not? The incredulous sighs, the raised brows, and even the audacious “Isn’t that what the internet is for?” Oh, I assure you, I’ve heard it all. And while such sentiments may seem a trifle vexing, they do serve as a reminder of why I remain steadfast in my profession.

The truth, dear reader, is that my work is no idle fancy. I have devoted years to cultivating relationships, immersing myself in conferences, brushing shoulders with the industry’s best, and perfecting my craft—not simply for pleasure, but so that *you* might benefit from my expertise. It is the pursuit of excellence that drives me, and rest assured, your journey is in the most dedicated of hands.

Consider this: I spend more hours acquiring knowledge and mastering the art of travel than I do on holiday myself. And whether on a grand tour or amid my own trivial Tuesday affairs, I am forever at the ready for my clients. No faceless website could ever match the dedication and care I pour into each itinerary entrusted to me. 💖

This is not merely an occupation; it is a calling—a privilege—to curate your adventures and ensure they are as seamless as they are unforgettable. And in an uncertain world, there is no substitute for a trusted ally who can navigate the tempestuous seas on your behalf.

Yours Most Affectionately,
Lady Jolley of Magnolia Palm Travel Co.

👊Here’s a little bit of honesty coming’ at ya on this Tuesday…

Ever notice how some ships, resorts or hotels look great from the photos online, but when you actually get there, you realize that those photos are out of date, overly photoshopped and completely misleading?

Yeah, me too.

This is exactly why I make it my mission to have boots-on-the-ground, first-hand information to share with clients when they ask about any destination!

👉Things you can count on when you work with me:

⭐️I have either personally stayed at, toured or have multiple clients return home with great feedback about the places I recommend!

⭐️You will ALWAYS get my unfiltered opinion about every destination!

⭐️I will be 100% honest with you if that suite is actually worth the splurge or if those spa services are worth the hype!

⭐️I will most definitely tap into the invaluable resources I have available to me as a travel professional to make sure your vacation is seamless and carefree!

No fluff here — just honest advice to help you make the most of your very valuable vacation time!

Spoiler alert: I am on YOUR side!

(The heart is the signature color of each island)

💛 O'ahu: The Gathering Place

❤️ Island of Hawai'i: The Big Island

Planning international travel? Use an eSIM service upon arrival to save you from expensive international roaming charges. Purchasing ahead of time from services like Airalo provides incredibly affordable data plans (and much better than your cell provider in most cases!) so you can post your adventures and keep in touch with friends & family while you’re away!

🌟✨ Pro Travel Tip✨🌟

Before you embark on your next adventure, take a moment to scan and save digital copies of your important travel documents, like your passport, visa, and travel insurance. 📄💼 Having these accessible via your phone or email can be a lifesaver if anything gets lost or stolen. Stay prepared and travel worry-free! ✈️🔐
