Did you know????????

When taking an Alaskan Cruise the stateroom choice can make all the difference. Depending on which way you are sailing, which cruise ship, and what time of year, you will want a certain side of the cruise ship to get the best views from your balcony. This is one of the many things I help my clients with when planning their Alaskan Cruise. The itinerary and stateroom can take hours to research and you may still be confused because so many cruise lines now go to Alaska - so where do you start?

Check out the guide or let's make an appointment today to get the process started. Alaska bookings can be made for 2025 and 2026 on most cruise lines. The best rooms go quickly so contact me today.

When families come to me about traveling these are the vacations I help with the most:

🏔 Adventure Vacations - places you have never been and want all your questions answered and researched so you have peace of mind on your adventure.

🏫 School Breaks - during the school breaks you want something the whole family can enjoy but you don't have time to research all the different room categories and you want me to take care of it all so you don't waste your money on something you didn't want.

❤ Couples Time - before kids you and your partner did so much together but now you are buried in the kids' schedules and your own and you don't have time to put one more thing on your to-do list. I take care of the details for you so you can reconnect

🌅 Multi-Generation Trips - you love your family and you want to do a vacation together, but you are sick of the one being in charge of the planning and pestering of your family members. Let me take that off your plate and I'll be in charge of the details with your family so you can relax!

This year my family did 3 out of 4 of these vacations. Any guesses on which one we did not do this year?

This year the holiday season is very popular for travel. The calendar is showing that some schools and businesses will have a full two weeks off and more.

What does this mean for you?

So many options to plan! I've given you a few of what my clients will be doing for their holiday breaks. Some are traveling before Christmas and others are surprising their family with trips for Christmas.

The most challenging part of holiday travel is finding the right place that checks all the boxes for your family. I'm always here to help you get your vacation planning researched, completed, and organized so you can enjoy your vacation.

🏔Alaska is an amazing place to visit and I'm so glad I've been so I can best help my clients when they travel to Alaska. This summer I've helped so many people go to Alaska and have amazing vacations. Most people come to me as they have FOMU their vacation.

It can be a lot of pressure as the travel planner in the family and being in charge of making your plans perfect. You deserve a break too! You can save time and get exactly what you want while we work together as much as you want during the trip planning process. Some like help each step of the way while others like me to plan it all after one phone call. Each trip is customizable based on what you are looking for and you are not getting the same stuff for all my clients.

Which would you choose?

Disney World has made changes to their skip the line - it is now Lightning Lanes both Multi-Pass and Single-Pass. Last week I studied the system each day, saw what people were saying and doing and notified my clients on what to expect from the new system.

When working with me it is never a cookie-cutter expereince. I customize what my clients receive based on what they want and need for their vacation. A multi-generational family does not need the same help as a couple going to Disney World.

That's why my clients get custom itineraries that are tailored to their needs and they don't have to sift through all the blogs, instagram posts, or even the dreaded Facebook groups and try and decide what information is right for them. I do it all while they are not wasting their time on these details.

No matter where my clients are going, I make sure they are have an amazing vacation experience. You can too if you reach out to get the process started!
