Happy leap day!!
We only get this once every 4 years so what are you doing with your extra day?!

One week from today I'll be checking into a cabin in Tennessee with a big group, so I'm finalizing some last minute details and packing (we technically start the trip on Monday)!

Well, yesterday was National Plan for Vacation day, so I'm a day late. But today is the last day of the first month of 2024 and that's crazy! Hope everyone has had a fantastic first month of the year. 🗓
I've been busy ensing out quotes for Punta Cana and Turks and Caicos as well as dropping off a pre-trip goodie bag to clients leaving for Jamaica in 10 days! So tropical vacations seem to be the theme right now! 🏝🌅⛱️

What tropical destination is on your list to go to?!
Contact me for a quote and let's make it happen in 2024!

Margaritaville Resort Orlando should be on the list for your next vacation!! 🍹🍸🥃
Located near the theme parks and right next to H2O waterpark. Enjoy all of the resort amenities while staying in the fabulous cottages, your own home away from home! Relax at the St. Somewhere Spa, hang out in the pool and enjoy shopping, dining and entertainment at the Promenade. You can even bring your pups along since Margaritaville is pet friendly and home to the Barkaritaville dog park!
I'll share more info and pics later, but enjoy these clips that I took on my tour of this fantastic property!

✈️ Next stop, Orlando!! ✈️

After tomorrow I'll be out of the office until the 11th!

I'll be available to clients that are traveling and will still pass along any time sensitive updates to currently booked clients. I will have my own travel days, appointments/tours and park days so may not be reachable immediately and will be limited as I am not bringing my laptop on this trip due to its busy nature.
So excited to share some of my experiences though!

❤️ Throwback to my last time at Disney about a decade ago. 🤯 Can't believe it's been so long!

Hope everyone is having a great Sunday and long weekend! ☀️

I haven't been posting much for a while now, as I've had some medical stuff going on and have been focusing on my health. So, social media just hasn't been on the priority list. That said, it has not affected my reply time to clients needing info, quotes, or booking vacations! And nothing will stop my love of travel!
I'm so excited for all of my clients' future adventures as we plan and get trips booked!

Do you have any travel coming up that you're looking forward to!?

I'm currently looking forward to my Orlando vacation (yay Disney!), and then our annual long visit in Washington to see the nieces and nephew that we don't live near as well as a quick trip to Chicago in December to see my family, go to a wedding and ring in the new year! Crazy that this year is almost over already!

Why is Fairbanks, Alaska such a great summer destination?! Well the land of the midnight sun has a lot to offer in wildlife, extraordinary experiences and ways to keep cool while exploring! Check out the beach in Tanana Lakes State recreation area to take a dip, or hike by one of the many ponds to see the local wildlife doing the same! And this time of year is also a great time to drive up to the Arctic Circle while roads are accessible! 🏞

🏰Bran Castle🏰
More widely know as "Dracula's Castle" this iconic fortress is a national monument and landmark on the Transylvanian side of the historical border with Wallachia. The history of Bran castle dates back to the 14th century when it was built to protect Transylvania. Later, it acted as a customs point for entry into Wallachia. In 1920 it was gifted to Queen Marie who refurbished it into a castle.
Bram Stoker's Dracula was published in 1897 and as Bran Castle is the only castle in Transylvania to fit the depiction of Dracula's Castle in the novel it is famously known world wide as the home to the original bloodsucking creature of night.

🏰Eilean Donan Castle🏰

I was going to caption this iconic castle with how it is famously in TV and Films, such as James Bond, and other fun facts until I read more about the history and can't help but share because of the names;

"The island's original castle was built in the thirteenth century; it became a stronghold of the Clan Mackenzie and their allies, the Clan MacRae. However, in response to the Mackenzies' involvement in the Jacobite rebellions early in the 18th century, government ships destroyed the castle in 1719. The present-day castle is Lieutenant-Colonel John Macrae-Gilstrap's 20th-century reconstruction of the old castle."

Happy Father's day to all of the guiding lights out there!!
My dad's love for boats definitely passed down to me so this is an incredibly fitting sentiment! Not only is my father a helpful guiding light but he's also a fantastic travel companion and anywhere I go with him I know that I'll have my own personal tour guide that shares all of the history and fun facts that I didn't know I needed. ⛵️🗺🧭
