Helping navigate milestone trips to new destinations is one of the most rewarding parts of my job - this trip was especially fun as it was a SURPRISE anniversary trip gifted to parents from their children 🤍

From finding the perfect accommodations to recommending an itinerary of personalized tours & activities to making sure your experience is seamless from start to finish—I'm here to make sure your next travel experience is as simple and enjoyable as possible for you.

As always, thank you for trusting me with your special moments!

Charleston is an ideal destination for this group, offering a perfect blend of historic charm, delicious cuisine, and plenty of opportunities for both group activities and independent exploration.

Staying along the Skyliner route is hard to beat🚡

Just helped another family lock in their 2025 trip to Walt Disney World and cannot wait for them to experience the magic and convenient access to 2 of the 4 Disney parks during their stay!

If Disney is on your travel list for 2024 or 2025, I would love to help you plan your visit!

✨ Just Booked: First Disney Trip for this sweet family of 4 ✨

I cannot wait for the girls to see their Little Mermaid themed rooms, and all of the fun theming around Disney's Art of Animation resort.

I especially love that this resort offers a splash pad and a zero entry pool making it a great pick for preschoolers who enjoy time in the water!

Convenient transportation was important for this family and because they are staying at a Skyliner resort they'll have multiple transportation options available to them.

So excited for these little princesses to meet their favorite princesses in real life and for all the memories they'll make during their week-long stay at Walt Disney World!

Just a friendly reminder ahead of a busy, holiday travel weekend!

We all love the excitement of exploring new places, but it's important to remember that travel can come with unexpected delays and moments of frustration.

Here’s a few areas where snags can occur and how to prepare for them:

🔄 Flight Delays: Weather, technical issues, and air traffic can lead to delays. Instead of stressing, bring a good book, download your favorite shows, and always be sure you have a full refillable water bottle and plenty of snacks in your carry-on!

🚶‍♀️ Crowded Airports: Airports can be bustling, especially during peak seasons. Arrive early and prepare for the extra crowds!

🛂 Security Checks: Long lines at security are common. Keep your essentials handy and pay attention to the guidelines posted or given by security personnel.

🧳 Lost Luggage: It happens to the best of us! Keep a change of clothes and essential items in your carry-on just in case. Report the issue immediately, stay and remember that airlines are usually pretty good at reuniting you with your bags.

If you're traveling this holiday weekend, remember to stay positive and pack your patience—it truly is your best travel companion!

Trying to decide if you want to go with a cruise or all inclusive resort for your next getaway?!

When helping clients decide between a cruise and an all-inclusive resort, I typically consider several factors to help them make the best decision based on their preferences and priorities. Here's what we chat about...

✈️Travel Preferences: Do they prefer the convenience of unpacking once and visiting multiple destinations (cruise), or do they prefer to stay in one place and enjoy all the amenities of a resort (all-inclusive)?

📍Destinations of Interest: I inquire about the destinations the client wants to visit. If they're interested in exploring multiple destinations during their vacation, a cruise might be the better option. However, if they have a specific destination in mind or want to focus on relaxation, an all-inclusive resort could be more suitable.

🛶Activities and Amenities: I discuss the types of activities and amenities the client is interested in. All-inclusive resorts typically offer a wide range of on-site activities, such as water sports, spa treatments, and entertainment. On the other hand, cruises offer various onboard activities and excursions at each port of call.

💰Budget Considerations: I consider the client's budget and compare the costs of a cruise versus an all-inclusive resort. While cruises may seem less expensive upfront, it's important to consider additional costs such as excursions and drinks that aren't included in the cruise fare.

🏝Client's Previous Travel Experiences: I like to know about the client's previous travel experiences to understand what they enjoyed most. If they've had positive experiences on cruises or at all-inclusive resorts in the past, it can help inform their decision for their next vacation.

Do you prefer an all inclusive resort or cruise vacation?!

Drop a 🚢 or 🏨 in the comments and let me know!

Here's the thing - when you are considering the investment into your next family vacation, you are going to have questions.

Working with a travel advisor means you get to talk through those questions with an actual human and you don't have to rely on Google or random online reviews.

From payment and cancellation policies to the onboard activities and how to budget for the "extras", I was able to answer questions so my clients could move forward with their first Disney Cruise with confidence!

So excited for this multi-generational family group to be sailing together next Spring Break on the stunning Disney Wish 🚢✨

18/04/2024

The more I travel, the more I am convinced that carry on only is the way to go!

Not having to deal with baggage claim or worry if your checked bag is going to make it to your final destination makes for a much less stressful travel day.

I know it's not always feasible to pack it all in a carry on - but I highly recommend including the essentials above in your carry on, especially when checking a bag.

Share with me in the comments - are you team checked bag or carry on?!

16/04/2024

From Maui to the Mediterranean, I could not be more excited for the amazing adventures ahead for my clients this summer and fall!
