Here’s the problem with booking the cheapest vacation package 👇

It feels like a win, right? Knowing you’re finally making those travel goals come true without breaking the bank.

But what happens when the cheapest package means arriving at your resort too late and losing one whole vacation day or includes the resort that’s a two hour drive from the airport which will no doubt lead to a meltdown from the kids?

I recently helped one of my clients find the perfect balance between flight times, hotel check-ins and pricing which allowed them to save money and increase the time they enjoyed their resort all while saving them money!

No, that’s not a typo.

It’s the difference between looking for what’s cheapest and looking for value.

A small tweak like when you decide to go on your getaway can result in money saved and so much more value added to your getaway.

It also helps to have someone with their eyes on offers and promotions that could match up with your trip, which is exactly what I do.

This year, let’s make sure you get the most out of your vacation days.

It’s absolutely not too late to escape the cold but the clock is definitely ticking ⏰

I just booked clients to Hawaii and Disney World just in time to save them from the winter coats and the snow shovelling.

Now my clients celebrating their Anniversary will be soaking up sun, sipping drinks and splish-splashing at Ka'anapali Beach Resort in Maui.

And the M and W families will enjoy a stay at Kay West with 4 days in the park. Tomorrow is their dining day .. I will be up at 4:45am to secure those reservations for this fantastic group!

And I’m handling all of the details like finding flights, matching them up to the right resorts, and booking accommodations, so their last minute trips will feel way less chaotic.

Message me today, and let’s get you somewhere warm before the next snowstorm hits ❄️

Hey there, adventurers! 🌴🌞 The winter chill might have you dreaming of warmer climates, and guess what? It's not too late to swap your snow boots for flip-flops! 🩴

Just this week, I've whisked away the lovely S family from their winter wonderland to the tropical paradises of Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo. They're now basking in the sun, savoring some tropical cocktails 🍹, and making a splash in the amazing waterparks!

They didn't have to stress over booking flights or accommodations, nor did they have to worry about finding the right resorts that would fit their vacation dreams. I've got all that covered! 🙌

So, how about we beat the next snowstorm together? ❄️ Let's trade in the frosty views for a Caribbean sunset or a Mexican fiesta! 🌅 💃 Message me today, and let's get you scheduled for a dose of vitamin sea! 🌊😎

Here’s an idea 💡: This spring, skip the crowds and hop on a river cruise instead to see some of the most charming, and often missed, parts of Europe.

But first, you have to choose which river cruise sounds most like you 👇

➡️ The Rhine River: Germany, France, the Netherlands—it’s like a greatest hits album of Europe’s most charming spots. Sail past fairytale castles, wander medieval villages, and soak up all the storybook vibes.

➡️ The Danube River: Ten countries, one epic journey. From Budapest’s glittering lights to Austria’s vineyard-covered hills, this river knows how to keep things interesting.

➡️ The Seine River: Parisian icons? Check. French countryside charm? Double check. This river is basically a love letter to France, and you’re invited to read every line.

Spring is calling, and these rivers are the answer — think mild weather, fewer crowds, and landscapes practically exploding with color.

Hey there, travel buddies! 🌴✈️ Don't we all know that no trip is ever 100% flawless? But here's a tropical twist...

When you're taking time off your busy schedule to jet off to somewhere, like the Caribbean or Mexico, shouldn't we aim for unforgettable memories? 🏝️💭

Picture your last family vacation.

Did the hotel feel like a home away from home?

Are you still daydreaming about those mouth-watering all-inclusive meals?

Any delightful surprises, like a surprise bottle of wine in your room, spa credits, or a magical room upgrade? 🍾🎁

Or was it a whirlwind of rushed decisions that you had to juggle on your own, praying for everything to fall into place?

Here's where I step in with a sprinkle of pixie dust. When you plan and book with me, every detail, whether it's as big as choosing the perfect resort or as small as adding those extra Disney perks, is managed with utmost care. 🎠🎡

Spring break is right around the corner and that post-holiday slump probably has you thinking about a getaway. Me too, but more on that later!

For now, let me share my top recommendations for Spring Break getaways.

💥 An All Inclusive trip to Mexico is always a fan favorite. Whether it is a smaller resort like Dreams Natura or a larger resort complex like the Iberostar Selection Paraíso, you will enjoy the warm sunshine, the inviting hospitality and the luxury of everything being included.

💥 If flying isn't an option, you can drive to Orlando and enjoy some time with the mouse. It may be crazy and busy but the smiles on your kiddos face when they meet Mickey and Minnie is priceless!

💥 Or maybe it's time for the kiddos to enjoy some time with their grandparents and the adults run away to an adults only cruise on Virgin Voyages! Remember .. self care is always important!

And when you’re ready to chat or have questions, I’m just a message away. Reach out and we can help you find your perfect spring break getaway.
