My clients' travel experiences are SO much less stressful as soon as they start working with me.

✅ They have so much more clarity about where they want to go, where they want to stay and what they want to do.

✅ Decision-making becomes infinitely easier for them because they get personalized recommendations and can take themselves out of the overwhelm of travel info online.

✅ Everything is researched and booked without them having to lift a finger.

Travel is just so much more seamless. If you haven't worked with me yet, I promise you're missing out.

I specialize in all inclusive, cruise and European vacations so if you're thinking of taking a trip like this, let's chat!

I am going LIVE in my facebook group TODAY at 4:30 pm CST....don't miss out!

I am partnering with my friend & colleague at BWK Travel in Urbandale on an escorted group trip to Ireland. This trip will occur while the Iowa State Cyclones are in Dublin to take on Kansas State in August 2025, so you will be able to attend the game if you would like (although it is optional).

I will go over the details and how you can get signed up! If you are not currently in my facebook group, then make sure you join me Lindsey's Luxury Getaways: Beach, Cruise & Europe for Families & Groups before the meeting so you don't miss out!

If you have friends and family that may be interested in this trip, feel free to invite them as well! I hope to see you there!

You know what you’ll NEVER regret?

Taking the dang trip.

I can't help but think of how much travel has changed me over the years. We get so caught up in the day to day tasks that we forget how to truly live and enjoy life!

It's so important to "re-set" by taking a vacation to help us remember that.

So many new perspectives, ideas, and inspiration come to me every time I take myself out of the everyday chaos and take myself somewhere else.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by your never-ending to-do list, stuck in a rut with the same old routine, or just plain exhausted from the daily grind, it might be time to pack your bags and escape for a bit!

Ireland Group Trip August 2025 for Iowa State Cyclones Game 🏈

Hey Everyone! My friend and colleague at BWK Travel in Urbandale and Exhilarating Getaways Travel are teaming up for a group trip to Ireland in August 2025. The timing of the trip allows for you to be in Dublin the day the Iowa State Cyclones take on Kansas State. I know we have a few people in this group that have Ireland on their bucket list.

Here are a few of the details:
📅 August 18-25, 2025
🍀 Shannon to Dublin
🚌 Escorted Luxury Motorcoach with a driver/guide
🏨 Hotel Accommodations for 6 nights
🥞 6 Full Breakfasts
🍝 2 Dinners
Does NOT include airfare or Iowa State Football ticket
💲💲 Pricing depends on the group size, but the max price will be $3489 (can be as low as $2700 if the group is large enough)
**You do NOT have to go to the game. You can enjoy this group trip and have a free day in Dublin if you choose not to attend the game -- so Hawkeye fans, you can still go on this trip! 😜**

Want to know more? Join us TONIGHT for an informational meeting and to ask questions. Our Business Development Manager will be joining us to share the details and benefits of booking with a group. There is absolutely no obligation to attend.

Please reach out to me if you decide to reserve a spot, so I can be the travel agent that services your reservation and takes care of everything for you!

Reminiscing about summer one last time, then it’s time to move on to all things fall!

This summer was full of some great moments — summer vacation to the beach, pool days with the kids, and basketball.

I saw clients off to London & Paris, Riviera Maya, as well as Alaska and I even took a trip to Orange Beach, AL and Jacksonville, FL myself.

Now that we’re fully in the Fall spirit, I can’t wait to say bon voyage to clients headed to Spain, Portugal, Barbados and a river cruise along the Danube over the next 2 weeks!

Are you traveling this fall? Where are you off to?

Are you in desperate need for a getaway this fall?

Sometimes, all you have is a few days of PTO for a quick getaway to rest and recharge.

But that doesn’t make your trip any less meaningful or easy to plan.

In fact, if you only have time for a shorter trip, you likely need some help planning because you have less time to make the most of your time away.

Call me the queen of maximizing vacation time because that’s where I can help.

Whether you’re planning a city adventure, a quick break to an all-inclusive, or a little wellness time to relax and reset, I’ll help you plan an itinerary that maximizes your time.

Don’t let time be the thing that stops you from making the most of your vacation!

I literally breathe a sigh of relief every time a client makes it to the airport, boards their flight, and is officially on the way.

But what happens if you do miss your flight or it's canceled?

1️⃣ First, get in touch with me, your travel advisor, so I can start looking for other flight options for you.
2️⃣ If you’re headed to the airport and you’re pretty sure you won’t make your flight, contact the airline (you can do this via the chat within the airline app) en route to let them know. They may even be able to start making arrangements for a new flight.
3️⃣ When you arrive, make a beeline for the airline’s customer service desk — they’re your best allies for getting booked onto another flight.
4️⃣ Get in touch with your travel advisor again (that’s me! 😀) so I can re-arrange your airport transfers and call the hotel to let them know you’re arriving later so you don’t risk getting bumped in an overbooking situation, or getting stuck with the worst room.

When travel plans hang in the balance, it’s a must to have support and someone to help smooth things over.

Have you ever missed a flight? No judgement here! Share with me in the comments.

Do you enjoy learning about the process of how things are made? 👇

When we traveled to Ireland we did both the Guiness Brewery Tour and the Jameson Distillery Tour. The Jameson Distillery Tour knocked the Guiness tour out of the park! It was so educational and fun....I would highly recommend doing this tour while in Ireland, even if you do not drink alcohol I know you'll still learn so much and enjoy the tour!
