The Royal Beach Club announcement is a game-changer for Nassau. Nassau often receives mixed reviews, so having a dedicated, upscale Royal Caribbean beach club could really raise the bar. 😍🔥

Pittsburgh International Airport is looking for volunteers to help with a “dress rehearsal” of the new terminal - like a big practice run for opening day.

Obviously I signed up. I’m a travel advisor 𝘢𝘯𝘥 just nebby enough (that’s Pittsburghese for “𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘮𝘺 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘦𝘺𝘦𝘴”) to jump at the chance.

This airport is where so many of my clients’ unforgettable adventures begin - honeymoons, first Disney trips, dream vacations. Getting a sneak peek at what’s next for PIT? Count me in. 🖤✈️💛

🎉 In exactly TWO weeks, I’ll be heading to Orlando 𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑜 (aka away from my babies for 4 whole nights… what even is that life?! 😅) for the annual 𝑫𝒊𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒂 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒍 𝑺𝒖𝒎𝒎𝒊𝒕!

It’s four days packed with training, updates, and - let’s be honest - plenty of fun with my fellow Diserella agents 💃🏼🎢

Believe it or not, this will be my 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 Summit! Between pregnancy & welcoming our sweet baby girl the past two years, the timing just hasn’t worked out - until now. I’m SO excited!

⚜️ I’ll be staying at 𝘿𝙞𝙨𝙣𝙚𝙮’𝙨 𝙋𝙤𝙧𝙩 𝙊𝙧𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙨 𝙁𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙝 𝙌𝙪𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙧 (beignets for breakfast? Don’t mind if I do).

😜 And the coolest part? I was chosen as 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝟭𝟬 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 to experience a 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝘁 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗩𝗜𝗣 𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗿 - a total bucket list moment and something I’ve been dying to do!

☀️ Mickey bars and Dole Whips just don’t hit the same when you’re sweating through your clothes in a Pittsburgh heat wave. 🥵

Orlando might be hot… but at least it comes with palm trees, theme parks, and vacation vibes. ✈️🍍🍦

🚢 One of my favorite parts of cruising might surprise you…

𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘴.
𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘰𝘭 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘬.
𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘺 (𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘐’𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘻𝘦𝘯 𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘪𝘯 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥 🥳).

It’s 𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 on the ship. 🌠
There’s something about it - the crowds are gone, the air is cooler, and the ship just glows. It’s peaceful and kind of magical.

Things look a little different these days - we’re usually trading off who stays with the baby - but back in the day, my husband & I lived for the piano bar 🎹 & late-night comedy shows. 🎭 Now? Our son’s decided he’s all about the nighttime vibes too, and honestly… I love that for us.

One thing that hasn’t changed? Late-night pizza and ice cream. Always. 🍕🍦

Cruise days are amazing. But cruise nights? They’re the part that stays with me. ❤️
