Does this look familiar to anyone? I’m visiting Napa and this is something that is similar to where we usually travel 🥰

25/05/2024

It’s a travel day! Next stop San Francisco and then off to Napa!

21/05/2024

Next up is Napa!!! Looks like I better take this Mickey ears out of my bag and put some vineyard outfits together 😎🤣

A very quick whirlwind trip to Disney! We hit all the parks, rode all the rides and then ended up staying one more day to lay by the pool! More pictures to come! We got so lucky and stumbled on some really fun picture spots with no lines!

Sometimes you accidentally on purpose miss your flight and add a pool day 😎

Happy Mother’s Day!

My next trip is in 12 days!!! A quick Disney weekend 😎

Jamestown!!!! I’m sure I came here when I was a kid but I don’t remember it at all! Such a fun day checking out Jamestown, such an awesome place full of rich history! We ended the day at a local brewery to catch up with the rest of our airstream group but I got zero pictures there! I loved the church and the replica ships! I can’t even imagine taking such a small vessel across the ocean for a 144 day trip!!

We skipped Williamsburg today and opted to take a bike ride on our new ebikes. This was a new thing for me, I haven’t ridden a bike that wasn’t stationary in a long time and not at all since my vestibular migraine diagnosis. I’m not going to lie I was nervous…. But I did it! And the bike path runs parallel to a busy road and there was a bridge over the Chickahominy River (for those of you who aren’t familiar with a vestibular issue this can be a little confusing to the system since your eyes are telling your brain you are high up and there is water moving and you are going in a different direction physically) and it did not increase my dizziness. So for those of you that struggle with dizziness don’t let it stop you…. Push your limits…. Do hard things!!!

Camping meals are the best meals! We glamp 🤣 so we will often times get seafood trays from wegmans that cook right in the grill ❤️ This was last nights dinner.

02/05/2024

Today was a travel day!!! We headed to Chickahominy Riverfront park for an Airstream rally! We might go to Williamsburg tomorrow! We will see 😎

24/04/2024

8 days until my Williamsburg camping trip! Do you guys want to hear about my camping travels on this page too?

I took zero pictures on our day at sea, I read a book, played bingo and relaxed ☺️ I got this picture of the Disney Dream as we flew out of Fort Lauderdale though ❤️

Fort Lauderdale may be my favorite port! It was seamless getting on and off the ship! I usually do concierge just for the easy boarding and disembarking but it was fine without it this trip! ❤️

My next trip is in 15 days! A quick weekend trip camping in Williamsburg! Stay tuned for pictures of that trip! We recently got another Airstream so we will be doing lots of camping trips!

We attempted to dock at Castaway early this morning but it was too windy, thankfully the second try was successful! Castaway Cay Serenity Bay adult beach cabana coming up next! 😎

13/04/2024

The sunset off this back balcony was stunning last night 😍

12/04/2024

Decided to try a room that has a balcony off the back of the ship on the Disney Dream this time! The balcony is a little bigger than a standard balcony and I’m pretty excited for the views on our sea day!

12/04/2024

We got to Fort Lauderdale yesterday after a brief weather delay! We stayed at the Hilton Marina and the views were amazing! We got to watch boats go by all evening and then again this morning! We spotted Bad Romance which is Dr Phil’s boat 😎 now to head to the Port to board the Disney Dream!

10/04/2024

I head to Florida tomorrow for my cruise on Friday!!! It’s almost vacation time!! 😎

05/04/2024

A week from today I fly to Fort Lauderdale! This is a new port for me! Excited to get back on the Dream ❤️❤️❤️ for a quick weekend getaway ❤️ This cruise has a day at Cataway Cay Disneys private island and a day at sea ❤️

21/12/2023

Next trip is in 28 days! Finally staying concierge on the Disney Wish!

I don’t have quite as much travel on the books yet for next year. I have a feeling we will be doing lots of camping in our new Airstream but I do have a couple of great trips booked and am starting to look at Norway for a Northern Lights trip next winter! ❄️

What are your travel plans for 2024? Do you need help planning a trip?

Alaska!!!! Boy this trip surely didn’t disappoint!

I will start by saying this was my first time on Alaska Air and I was impressed with their service and their food not to mention their lounges are super nice!

We flew into Fairbanks, a tiny little airport in Alaska and stayed at the Hampton inn for a few days before we went on to Borealis Basecamp!

We ventured out to Cheena hot springs… it was the only place I wasn’t really impressed with … the staff was lackluster for the most part and the ice museum smelled like moldy carpet and there were way too many people in there at one time to enjoy it. We tried to get a drink and a snack at the restaurant but no server ever came to the table so we decided to leave.

Borealis Basecamp was amazing! We stayed in what’s called a cube and had the most amazing views 😍 the staff, food and activities were great here! I chose to feed reindeer and do a sunset snowcat trip which included champagne and snores on a ridge around a fire pit! It was surprising to me how warm you stay with the right gear! Our helicopter trip got cancelled because of weather but I wouldn’t trade the foot of snow for the helicopter trip 😍

Overall Alaska is amazing, could be my new favorite spot! The people were so friendly (minus cheena) and eager to give you advice on where to go and places to eat and the landscape was beautiful!

Happy 1st day of winter!

09/12/2023

It’s a travel day!!! Time for mimosas!!! Do you know how many bubbles are in a glass of champagne? Take a guess!

So many great pictures yesterday!! ❤️❤️❤️ Can’t even describe how much fun we are having and how much I love each and wvery one of these girls!! Traveling with my daughters and two of my best friends is beyond fun and my heart is very full ❤️

13/11/2023

Day 2! We slept in after our late night on day 1 and made our way to Aniaml Kingdom for a little bit before our 5pm dinner at Ohana ❤️ We popped over to Magic Kingdom after dinner to shop and watch the fireworks before we headed back to the hotel ❤️ a perfect laid back day!

13/11/2023

Day 1 of the girls trip!!! I LOvED this party! So much fun! Lots of drinks and snacks, music, shows, photo opportunities ❤️ it felt like a fancy grown up holiday party (it was totally good for kids too but it was so glam and there honestly weren’t a lot of kids there). I would definitely do this one again!

11/11/2023

I know I haven’t even finished posting all my cruise pictures (in my defense I came home with a cold and needed to rest up before this trip!) but tomorrow I head to Florida with my daughters and my two besties! I’m beyond excited! 😆 There may be matching shirts involved 🥰

Dinner at Remy never disappoints, the menu was a little different than on the Dream a few weeks ago. They have two menus to choose from which are a set menu or you can order a la carte. We chose to do each do a different set menu…. And Brian did the champagne pairing with it. The food was so good! When I tell people that we love to do Disney cruises I don’t think they understand the level of quality with he food… this restaurant is an extra charge but it’s really such a great value for what you get ❤️❤️
