Passport renewal has recently become a whole lot easier! The State Department has launched a fully operational online passport renewal system. This new system bypasses the traditional paper application process, saving time and hassle. It’s available for most adult passport holders whose passports expire within 5 years (past or future).
No more printing forms, mailing documents, or writing checks! This digital portal aims to make the renewal process as efficient and convenient as possible. Note, this service isn’t available for children’s passports, first time applicants, or those living abroad.

As a small business owner, I really strive to respond as quickly as I can. I am not a person who is patient to wait for responses myself, and I like to give my clients the courtesy of not waiting long either! Time is valuable in the travel industry because sometimes prices can fluctuate drastically, and slow email responses can make or break your trip costs!

What are those must haves for your vacations? Relaxation? Activities? Proximity to an area? Direct flights for little ones? Day passes to sister resorts? Room types that are conducive to large families? Serenity with no kids? All of these decisions can give you a great starting point when working with me for your trip!

🌏️For the last few years, repeatedly, the busiest time of year for the travel business is Christmastime and the New Year. I’m guessing families are together and wanting to plan their big trip for the upcoming year. Or a lot of engagements happen at Christmas, and the honeymoon planning commences. Or just people finally take a few days off to relax and realize that they have a spare moment to reach out and get the wheels turning for a vacation. Whatever it is---January and February have been full overload for me in the past.😅 BRING IT ON 2025!!! 📸Featuring Charlie who is giving me a little bit of Gerard Butler "This is Sparta" vibes. 🤩

🍾Kicking off the year, I wanted to share a few numbers with you to both celebrate the milestones but also be transparent with my past and future clients about supporting my small business! Since I started back in March 2021, I’ve booked over half a million dollars in travel costs. $503,226.71 to be exact. And almost 40% of that was just in 2024! 🎉This would have never been possible without an army behind me to pass along the referrals. Cheers to you!🤍
Here’s to the new year, new travels, and cherished memories to keep forever!

🍾Closing out 2024 with a day-in-the-life as a Travel Advisor:
Top things I spend my time on:
1. Running quotes for clients. Sometimes the packages are easy to build through my agent inventory. Sometimes, I have to work with other suppliers to help customize a trip.
2. Social media planning---literally my least favorite part about the business! A necessary evil for a small business, but I just want to stay current. Most of my leads come through the website, word of mouth, and wedding vendors!
3. Coordinating between suppliers and clients any questions, details, documentations, and logistics before they travel.

Cheers to 2025. May the new year bring you many opportunities for travel. 🛫🌏️

Does your family travel for the holidays or do you prefer to stay home?? It’s expensive, but I hear of so many families who do big trips instead of presets…it’s very tempting!! Also---big bucket list item to visit this airport one day; anyone know where this is??!!

People tell us all the time this picture looks photoshopped that we have hanging in our house. I 100% guarantee you they aren’t even though I married a photographer who very well could have done so! We aren’t ones to revisit vacation spots usually, but we definitely would go back to this area!

Throwback Thursday to our honeymoon. We stayed in Cancun at the Secrets at the Vine and have wanted to go back ever since. This place made us realize that boujie travel on a budget is possible, and we’ve been hooked. Let me help you experience that, too!!⁠

Questions: ⁠

What’s your max?? -- How long will you spend in a car before you start looking at flights?? Ours is about 5 hours. ⁠

Also, are you always exhausted after spending a whole day in the car? Or is that just me. ⁠

And...what's the one snack you can't live without on your road trips??

If you had an ALL EXPENSES PAID cruise, would you choose ocean or river cruising??
We've been getting a real itch to go on a cruise again; it honestly sounds so nice with a kid now rather than our normal "hustle" travel style. Hoping for 2025!

What has been your favorite summer vacation memory?? Did you go on family vacations as a kid? Or is there a more recent trip, like a honeymoon, that you would rank as your favorite??⁠

Listen, I will be the first to admit cruising is not for everyone. And as a travel agent, I discuss the many considerations with clients before booking to make sure they will enjoy this type of vacation. But if you are an avid cruiser, (and I do believe everyone should experience at least 1 cruise in their lifetime), then here are 10 reasons why cruising IS amazing:
Ease of Travel
Activities
Entertainment
No Layovers
Family Friendly
Remote Places
Unpack only Once
Meeting People
Great Cuisine
A different kind of experience!
..and the list goes on!

What questions do you have about cruising that I can answer??!!
