Susan's Great Escapes

Susan's Great Escapes Travel Advisor with Upon a Star Travel & Concierge. Helping you travel to world-wide destinations! Travel is my full-time job!

After 25 years as a military spouse, I now live in Virginia with my family. Since 2013, I have been helping clients plan all kinds of vacations: Disney destinations, cruises, all-inclusive resorts, Universal Studios, guided tours, and travel all over the world! My goal is to create a concierge experience for my clients that meets their individual requests, budgets, and vacation style. Each person

and family's travel goals are unique and their travel experiences should be, too! This is not a hobby or a side-gig for me. I love building long-standing relationships with my clients working with them repeatedly over the years, watching their families grow and change. I've traveled to 30 countries, cruised more than 20 times on a variety of cruise lines, visited many all-inclusive resorts, and racked up thousands in airline miles! I want to share my knowledge and experience with my clients by providing excellent customer service, detailed itineraries, and creating the best vacation experience possible.

So many whales spotted today as we were cruising into port at Cabo San Lucas. 🐋 we saw tons of blows, quite a few tails as they dive, and several breaches! Such an amazingly warm welcome to Mexico!

Thank you, whales, for the show!

I thought maayybbeee we’ll see a few as we sail into ports. Dozens! Dozens of whales.

And yes, these are the only photos I got! Haha! Maybe I can get more later.

Leaving Atlanta airport…next stop LAX where we’ll board the lovely Discovery Princess ship tomorrow for a week-long cruise.

Follow along to learn more about Princess Cruise Line. I’m excited to experience my first Princess cruise, try out the Princess Plus program, enjoy our drink package, and experience our lovely balcony stateroom.

This is a work trip for me, so I’ll be in seminars some days with some free time to explore the ports of Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta. I’ll also get to do several behind the scenes tours to get a good working knowledge of this ship.

Here we go! ✈️

Booked on a cruise with a stop in Nassau? Thinking there's nothing to do?

Let's think a little out of the box. In recent years, Nassau has gotten a bit of a bad rap.

"It's boring."
"There's nothing new to do there."
"I've been there."

BUT have you been to Baha Mar? Baha Mar is a beautiful resort with an amazing waterpark. While Atlantis has been *the* water park location in the Bahamas for year, Baha Mar is newer and nicer. Baha Mar is an especially great option if you have kids shorter than 48".

What's here? Lazy river, wave pool, FlowRider, kids splash areas, and plenty of water slides!

Ready to book this option? Go here and have a blast on your next port stop to Nassau! https://www.resortforaday.com/Baha-Bay-Waterpark-at-Baha-Mar-Nassau/?Click=95378
