What do you think about this breathtaking view? This ridge walk on the Aiguille de Bionnassay, in the Mont Blanc massif of the Alps, in France, Italy, and Switzerland, is an amazing natural phenomena to behold!

I mean, I did enough camping as a child/teen to never need to camp again. But this would be the only way that would happen. Who likes camping? ⛺️

I don’t know about y’all, but I loved following along as the Kaspers and Murphys traveled through Italy and France last month. The two couples visited Florence, Rome, Cinque Terre, and Paris during their trip. Many sites were seen and many memories were made.

Thanks , , Karen Kasper, Mike and Jan Murphy for working with me on this spectacular vacation.

I'd run on a treadmill if I had this view, wouldn't you? Better yet, you could run (or walk) along the gorgeous paths that intertwine through the flowering gardens at this sprawling villa resort in Aix-en-Provence, France.

The 22 rooms and luxury suites await your arrival and welcome you to an elegant 18th-century residence. This 5-star country home opens out on to a garden filled with sweet fragrances, abundant cypress trees, and a hushed atmosphere dotted with French style.

Katy and Cal Bonugli took their family to Hawaii in May, and let me tell you, they did it all! The family divided their time between Oahu and Kauai, experiencing culture, food, history, and adventure over a 10-day trip.

From mountain tubing (yes, that’s a thing) to a luau, visiting Peal Harbor to a catamaran sunset sail, and everything in between, the Bonuglis enjoyed their time in Hawaii and are already dreaming of their return.

Thanks Katy Bonugli and Calleleh Bonugli for working with me on this truly amazing end-of-school-year vacation.

Valensole plateau is one of the most emblematic locations for lavender growing in France. There are many (most fragrant) harvest festivals in August.

Today is National Donut Day! Where are you getting your fix; Shipley’s, Dunkin’, Krispy Kreme, a gas station, or a local shop?

The most adventurous couple just returned from a packed-full week in Barcelona. Shelby and Travis conquered almost all the Gaudi sites, La Sagrada Familia, Costa Brava, Montserrat Monastery, the Picasso Museum, multiple parks, unbelievable architecture, and a hot air balloon ride. You would have thought they were there for month instead of just 6 days. It was great for them to get away from the busy-ness of life for a bit and a joy to work with them.

Thanks Shelby Gasson Benes and Travis for letting me help with your fantastic Barcelona vacation.

Step into Claude Monet's inspiration when you visit his former home and garden in Giverny, France! Marvel at all this and more when you choose this river cruise line's Paris & Normandy itinerary.

Dennis and Jessica Coffey just returned from a special 10th anniversary trip last week. It can be hard to get away with young children (who am I kidding, even with teens); that just makes it even more meaningful they had this time together.

The Coffeys enjoyed the crystal clear blue waters and white sand of Turks and Caicos, gorgeous views, delicious food, and of course, golf!

Not only were they the Sacred Selections Houston Auction Winners for this trip, I’ve also known Dennis since childhood. Y’all have heard me say it before, but I love these full circle moments!

Thanks Dennis Coffey and Jessica for working with me on your anniversary trip AND supporting adoptions.

What did I do on my first “kid-free” day of the summer? I drove to the Galleria to increase my knowledge about one of my favorite destinations, the Island of Hawaii. I am excited to learn more; stay tuned!

Looks like a painting because it is a painting. This is where Claude Monet painted the pond series in Giverny, France. As you can see, the beauty hasn't changed much.

Located in Marbella, Spain, this chic resort is within a 5-minute drive of Playa de Casablanca and the Ralli Museum. What is so unique about this property is that you have views of both the sea and the mountains, thanks to the proximity of the mountains to the coast in this region.

Besides the 130 individually decorated guest rooms, you'll find an indulgent spa, an on-site golf course, 6 restaurants, both a tomato garden and a botanical garden, horseback riding, pools, tennis, water sports, a boutique, and last, but not least, a ski-lodge.

I loved helping plan the Holladay’s 25th-anniversary trip this past May. The family of 6 spent a week on Oahu, taking in all the major sites, including Pearl Harbor, Wahiawā Botanical Garden, Diamond Head, and North Shore. Natalie has declared herself a beach lover and this sandy strip on Waikiki did not disappoint. She is a proficient chef as well and cooked all their meals while on this vacation; props to her! Lastly, the family enjoyed visiting both a coffee farm and a cacao farm to top off the trip.

Mahalo to Natalie Holladay and Aaron Holladay for working with me on this very special family-style anniversary trip.

Spain is not just about the beaches, culture, and food. This is El Caminito Del Rey, also known as King’s Little Path, and a must-do attraction! It will be one of your top experiences while visiting Spain.

The journey takes about 1.5 hours to get there from Málaga, and you’ll be rewarded with lots of incredible views along the hike made up of forest paths and footbridges.

Adventure anyone?

Prepare to be enchanted by Spain and the Canary Islands with endless sandy beaches, perfect weather, iconic cities, and unique landscapes. Visit two continents on this unique cruise line itinerary, sailing through the Strait of Gibraltar.

20/05/2024

The Rock of Gibraltar is always stunning, but even more so at night. Here you can almost see the silhouette of the monolith, viewed from La Linea de la Concepcion, just north of the border between Spain and the British Overseas Territory Gibraltar.

It’s the season of finals, so I thought this was appropriate…🤪

Nestling in the island’s peaceful hills, each guest room and suite at this hotel in Mallorca has been styled for serenity. Be soothed by rustic white walls, beamed ceilings, and terracotta tiled floors; an invitation for cool and calm.

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW! That’s all I can say about these *stunning* photos from my client’s destination wedding last week.

Cala Agulla is a breathtakingly beautiful beach situated on the northeastern tip of Mallorca Island, Spain. In 1991, this beach was declared an Àrea Natural d'Especial Interès by the Parliament of the Balearic Islands.

This coastal area is well preserved, surrounded by a thick pine wood with large trees, and has not been overdeveloped. Providing a great backdrop for a little R and R, don't you think?

Hey y’all, this could be your stapler, too! 😂
