Back from vacation and ready to make it happen! It was a busy day catching up in the office and chatting with a few clients over the phone. Highlight of the day was speaking with new clients to plan their honeymoon to Ireland. If you have followed me for any length of time, you know I love the "Emerald Isle"!

Within 20 minutes, they had shared their bucket list and I was able to turn that into a custom itinerary that they loved! I love crafting custom itineraries for my clients and hear or see the excitement that comes with that.

Using a travel professional isn't for everyone and I totally respect that. In the future, if you find yourself in need of a professional with 26 years experience and a passion for the industry, look no further! ~ Courtney ❤️🌎✈️🛳

Feel Good Friday…late edition! The last day of vacation is always bitter sweet. One last beach walk to hunt for sea glass and one last daily dose of lobster. Today’s was the lobster club from the Happy Clam!

The journey home begins tomorrow.

Today included two of my favorite things! A trip to McLoons Lobster Shack and a visit to Marshall Point Lighthouse. An afternoon nap, dinner with friends and a beautiful sunset to end the day.

Good morning from South Thomaston, Maine! We are at Island View Cottages, spending a week with our friends. It’s a beautiful day and my morning walk on the beach yielded a handful of sea glass!

Fantastic last day in Edinburgh! We were up early and enjoyed strolling the Royal Mile and Victoria Street with hardly anyone around. After a fantastic breakfast in Grassmarket, we made our way to the Vennel and made the climb to the top for incredible views of Edinburgh Castle. After some window shopping and stop at the sweets shop, we were off to the castle esplanade.

In the afternoon we headed to New Town to The Dome for an incredible afternoon tea! After tea, we enjoyed a stroll through Princes Street Gardens before calling it a day. Over 14k steps today and we are tired.

20/04/2024

Today we journeyed out of Edinburgh to the villages of Fife and St Andrews with Rabbies Tours. We have used them several times on other trips.

Our first stop was in Antsruther, where we had time to admire the harbor and grab a snack. We then continued to St Andrews, where we had about three hours to explore. We enjoyed visiting the ruins of St Andrews Cathedral, shopping on Market Street and stopped by the Old Course for a few photos. We continued to Falkland and if you are an Outlander fan, you should recognize the last photo.

Great day, followed by a pub dinner, a walk from New Town back to Old Town and an ice cream to end the day!

Tomorrow will be a full day in Edinburgh!

19/04/2024

Hello from Edinburgh! My mom and I are spending the weekend here exploring some new places and visiting a few of our favorites.

We arrived this morning at 10:30a and were lucky enough to get into our hotel early. We then walked to Hollyrood Palace and enjoyed a few hour there touring the palace, abbey and gardens.

Some window shopping along the Royal Mile on the way back to the hotel, a bit of a rest, followed by a proper pub dinner!

More adventures tomorrow!

18/04/2024
