There are SO many options when it comes to room types at resorts. Many people don’t know that your room type can make or break your vacation!

When you see pictures advertised of resorts, chances are you’re looking at the highest priced room category. So, when you book that entry level room, you’re probably going to be disappointed when you arrive. I always help my clients choose the best room type for them based on price, wants and needs!

Want the most comfortable bed? Got it.
Want an amazing view? Done.
Need an accessible room? No problem!
Want the pool steps from your door? Yes!

What’s one of your must haves??

THAT’S A WRAP!

I just returned from a 7 night FAM trip on board the MSC Seashore!

This cruise line is somewhat unfamiliar to most, so I wanted to take this opportunity to preview it for all of you! The MSC Seashore is the largest ship I’ve been on, but felt the most spacious! It’s well laid out, modern, and just beautiful. My favorite part? A private area called “Yacht Club” that gives you access to larger rooms, a private pool and hot tubs, a private restaurant and lounge, and a butler!

We got to visit the Bahamas, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico and had a great time enjoying ourselves and learning all about MSC.

How To Choose a Cruise

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the very large number of options when it comes to cruising? So many ships, so many destinations, so many departure ports. Let me give you the inside scoop on how to choose a cruise and which cruise line might be right for you!

- Cruise Line
Although destinations you’re traveling to on your cruise are very exciting, the bottom line is you are going to be spending the majority of your time on the ship itself. Plus, most ships travel to the same ports anyways. Some things to consider when choosing a cruise line are average age of the travelers on board, who you are traveling with, activities available on board, drink packages and pricing, and dining options.

My Favorite Cruise Lines for Couples
- Princess
- Celebrity
- Virgin Voyages
- MSC

My Favorite Cruise Lines for Families
- Royal Caribbean
- Norwegian
- Carnival
- Disney

- Destinations So you’ve decided on which cruise line you’d like to travel on. Now, which destinations are best? It all depends on what you’d like to see and do! Do you want to snorkel? Do you want to visit historical sites like the Mayan Ruins? Do you want to just lay on a nice beach? All of these things are important to consider when choosing where your cruise goes. Most cruise lines have 3-4 itineraries out of each departure port, so you have plenty to choose from!

Don’t navigate these waters on your own, let a cruise expert (aka me) help you find your perfect cruise vacation!

Bon Voyage! 🥂🚢

You may (or may not) have noticed I've been a bit absent on social media lately. Trust me, it's not for lack of content. It's because I have been SO BUSY planning your trips! And I love it!

Special thanks to all of you who trust me to do this. 🫶

I can’t express how incredibly thankful I am for everyone who has trusted me to plan their vacations over the past several years. Allowing me to be your travel agent means more than you know. It means being able to do something I love every single day. It means being able to take my family on our own adventures. It means being able to be a stay at home mama to my son. It is truly a dream come true and I’m so appreciative.

To me, vacation is more than just a trip. It’s an opportunity to create long lasting memories with your loved ones. Being the person who helps you make those memories is such an honor! To those who have reached out to me before, thank you! To those who haven’t, please consider me when planning your next vacation! 🫶🏼

Thanks for shopping small today and every day. 💕

Let’s normalize adding a travel agent to your wedding vendor list. Hear me out…

- You hire a vendor for nearly every aspect of your wedding, why wouldn’t you do the same for the honeymoon? Weddings are STRESSFUL. So many pieces to put together. Let me help take the honeymoon piece off of your plate. Tell me where you want to go, give me the dates and a budget, and I’ll plan everything from start to finish! Plus, unlike other vendors, my services are FREE!

- You can put down a small deposit and make payments. Weddings are expensive. Your money is tied up in a million different ways…venue, hair and makeup, dress, photographer, food…the list goes on. If you use a travel agent, you get to put down a small down payment when you book (usually around $200 depending on your trip), and can either make payments or wait until about 45 days prior to pay off the trip in full! If you book on your own, you’ll likely have to pay for the entire trip up front.

- I know most, if not all, of the things. The resorts I’m going to send you to are ones that I’ve visited myself, ones I’ve sent others too, or ones that are recommended to me through my huge lineup of connections. You won’t have to worry about if you’re going to get robbed or end up at a dingy resort. I’ll tell you where to find your transfers, what areas you need to stay in to stay safe, where to find the best local food, etc. I take training courses. I go on travel agent trips. I do ALL the research so you don’t have to.

- I’m here for you before, during and after your trip. I don’t just simply book your trip and then say bye. Got questions about your trip? I’m here. Flight delayed and panicking? I’m here. Can’t find your airport transfers? I’m here. When’s the last time Expedia answered your call on the first ring at midnight? With me you get to talk to a real human being, no automated messages or waiting on hold.

Do yourself a favor and take some of that wedding planning stress off of your plate!

Tag someone you know who’s planning a wedding and could use this info!

This week I had the opportunity to tour and experience the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana! This resort is amazing for the entire family. From wine tasting and luxurious spa treatments to bowling, water slides, a trampoline park and escape rooms, this resort truly has something for everyone. There are multiple swimming pools, all with different music and vibes, so pick your favorite! The beach is absolutely breathtaking and top shelf liquor is INCLUDED, unlike many other all-inclusives.

My advice? Ditch the massive amount of Christmas presents this year and spend that money on a family vacation. Toys will only last a year or two, memories will last a lifetime. ♥️

How Does Using a Travel Agent Work?

Wanna know how the process of using a travel agent goes? Here’s a brief breakdown…

1. You reach out to me with some very basic information about a trip that you are wanting to take.
2. I respond with a few questions that will help me narrow down my search and make sure I get you the best possible options that fit what you’re looking for!
3. After you give me a few more details, I do lots and lots of research, trying to find the best vacation options to send you!
4. I will send you a basic quote, typically with a few options. I don’t want to overwhelm you, but I do want to give you a range of options to figure out exactly what you’re looking for.
5. You respond with the options that you like and those you don’t.
6. I take all of your feedback into consideration and either book your trip at this point or send you more options until we can find something that you LOVE!
7. Once you’ve made a decision, I will ask for all of your information to book your trip! At this point a deposit will typically be due. Most of the time, your final payment won’t be due till closer to your departure!
8. I will follow up with you closer to your departure date for final payment (if you haven’t already made it) and also some “know before you go” information. I also like to follow up to make sure you have all of your questions answered before you leave!
9. During your trip, I am on call 24/7. If you run into any issues at all, you can feel free to text or call me! I am here to help!
10. Once you return, I will follow up with you to find out what you loved about your trip and if there is anything you’d do different next time! I save this information for your future trips and also for other clients who might be interested in the same destination!

As your travel agent, I am here to do more than just book your trip! I strive for the best customer service and am truly here before, during and after you trip (and hopefully for the next one)!

Happy Traveling! 🥂

Alaska is one of my top destinations, and rightfully so. This is one of those places that pictures truly do not do it justice. I have all the inside information on how to make the most out of this once in a lifetime destination. Right now is the perfect time to start planning for next year’s Alaska season!

Overwhelmed by your options of where to go for your honeymoon? Here are a few of my favorite all-inclusive brands that will will leave you wanting to get married again just to go back! 😉

1. Secrets Resorts
- Secrets resorts are adults only and have a laid back romantic feel while also having plenty to do! The biggest reason I love Secrets for honeymoons is because they offer an amazing honeymoon package! This package includes a private dinner on the beach, couples massage and even free nights on your anniversary stay! Secrets Resorts are located in Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, Spain, St. Martin and Bulgaria.

2. Excellence Resorts
- Excellence Resorts are perfect for those who want a modern, sophisticated, romantic property. Excellence properties are adults only and also offer a complimentary honeymoon package that includes a romantic dinner, champagne breakfast in bed and spa discounts! You’ll find these resorts in Mexico, Dominican Republic and Jamaica

3. Sandals
- Sandals is the world’s only 5-star luxury included honeymoon! There is so much to love at Sandals including exquisite dining options, premium liquors and romantic suites. Receive sparkling wine, a romantic turndown service and breakfast in bed for your honeymoon at all Sandals locations! Sandals has many resorts in Jamaica as well as more unique destinations including Saint Lucia, Antigua, Bahamas, Grenada, Barbados and Curaçao!

I would love to help you plan your honeymoon so you can make the most out of this once in a lifetime trip! 🥂

06/07/2023

Since I was renewing my passport this week, I figured I’d share that process, to hopefully make it a little less obnoxious. Save this post to reference later👇🏼

1. Plan in ADVANCE:

Average time to get your passport is 9-13 weeks, 7-9 weeks if you expedite it. If you’re even thinking about heading out of the country, get your passport renewed now. Don’t wait until you book your trip.

2. Fill out the DS-82 online:

Google this form and use the PDF filler or print it and use black ink. Either way, you’ll need to print it out once you complete it to mail it in. Triple check to make sure all of your information is correct!

3. Marriage Certificate:

If you’re changing your name, make sure to include the original copy of your marriage certificate. Make a copy and keep it at home as a back up until you receive yours back in the mail.

4. Include your current or expired passport.

5. Get your picture taken.

I recommend making an appointment at your local passport center (Register of Deeds). They charge $15 for a picture and will also compile everything else you need to submit your renewal to ensure that your packet is complete before sending it off. You can also have passport pictures taken at Walgreens.

6. Check or money order:

You’ll need to write a check or have a money order payable to “U.S. Department of State”.
*Passport Renewal Fees
- Passport book: $130
- Expedite fee: $60
- 1-2 day return shipping: $19.53

7. Take all of your items to the post office!

If you’re in a hurry, you can have your items express mailed. Just tell the clerk how soon you need your passport and they’ll be able to recommend the best shipping option.
*There are different locations to mail your renewal to based on where you live and how soon you need it. Be sure to check travel.state.gov to confirm which address is best for you!

On the bright side, your passport will be valid for 10 years (unless you’re a minor), so you won’t have to go through this process very often. Happy adulting 🥂

So many of you are gearing up to go on a summer beach vacation! Here are a few of my must haves when traveling to the beach!

1. Sunscreen
- This may seem obvious but it’s sooo important! The sun seems to be so much stronger in those tropical beach destinations. And, if you wait to buy it at the resort, you’re going to be paying quite a bit more than you would if you just bring some along!

2. After Sun Lotion
- Even if you remember to bring sunscreen, you’ll probably still get sunburnt. The last thing you’re thinking about while lounging in the pool with a margarita is reapplying your sunscreen. This could be a lifesaver!

3. Insulated Cup (with a straw!)
- If you’re like me and love a good frozen drink, bringing your own cup could save you a ton of trips to the bar. Not only will you have a bigger drink, but it won’t be hot half way through drinking it. Also, if you like to drink out of a straw, bring one! There’s nothing worse than sipping a frozen drink through a soggy paper straw that most resorts have these days. 🥴

4. Tip Money
- Some people don’t realize that tipping is allowed and encouraged at (most) all-inclusive resorts. Plan on bringing lots of small bills. It’s near impossible to have the front desk at your resort break your $20 or $100 bill. The U.S. Dollar is not their main form of currency so they do not have tons of ones and fives at their disposal.

5. Passport
- Obviously if you are traveling in the U.S., you don’t need a passport. But, you will need one if you travel to any all-inclusive resort. I also HIGHLY recommend having a passport for a cruise. If you happen to miss the ship while in a port, the last thing you want is to be stuck in a foreign country without a passport. Passports can take up to 13 weeks to arrive, so it’s important to plan to get one pretty far in advance!

What do you throw in your bag when you’re heading to the beach?

Top 5 Destinations I’ve Visited on a Cruise Ship

I’ve received a lot of cruise requests lately, so I wanted to drop in and let you know about some of my favorite cruise destinations! The best part about a cruise is that you get to visit multiple places on the same vacation. Not to mention, the ship itself is an absolute blast. Here are the top 5 cruise ports that I have visited!

#5 - Cabo San Lucas
- Wanna get up close and personal with Humpback Whales? We took our own private small boat from the marina straight past the iconic arch to see whales surfacing just yards from us! It was surreal.

#4 - San Juan
- Puerto Rico is a place for those who want to enjoy more than just a pretty beach! The rainforest tour is absolutely breathtaking. We got to see multiple waterfalls along the way and take in amazing views of the rainforest and ocean from a historic tower!

#3 - Saint Martin
- If you are craving beautiful white sand beaches with turquoise blue waters, this is your destination! While in Saint Martin we also got to enjoy Sea Trek helmet diving! Walking along the ocean floor is such a unique way to experience marine life from a completely different perspective!

#2 - Cozumel
- Cozumel is one of the most popular cruising destinations, and for good reason! The locals in Cozumel are so welcoming and truly happy you are there! I have done many things in Cozumel, including swimming with dolphins, snorkeling and enjoying an all-inclusive beach resort! The possibilities are really endless here.

#1 - Alaska
- It may not be the warm waters and sandy beaches you think of when going on a cruise, but Alaska is a once in a lifetime destination that is definitely best seen with a cruise AND land tour! Getting to see glaciers calving up close, watching orcas surface outside the windows at dinner, seeing a Moose on a hike in Denali…pictures really don’t do it justice. You NEED to experience it for yourself!

Cruising is such a unique type of vacation. You could visit the same port 10 times and have a different experience every time! I’ve visited so many more ports than this and have thoroughly enjoyed each one.

What cruise destination is on your bucket list? 🛳

Hey Y’all!

I wanted to do a quick intro for those who don’t know me! I’m Paige 👋🏼 Me, my husband, Mason and my nine month old son, Meyer, live on a peaceful little acre outside of a small town in Kansas.

I started working in the travel industry seven years ago as intern at a local travel agency during my undergraduate degree. I had always loved planning vacations for my close friends and family and wanted to try it out as a career! Needless to say, I fell in love with it and have been working in the industry ever since. I currently work remotely as a travel agent for a nationwide company.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE every aspect of traveling including the not so glamorous parts like researching, finding the best deals and creating custom itineraries. I have personally travelled to 26 states including Alaska and Hawaii, twelve different countries, and have been on more cruises than I can count!

I specialize in couples trips and honeymoons, but I have experience planning nearly every kind of trip you can think of, including business trips, group trips, family vacations, Disney vacations and more! Need help booking flights and a hotel? I’ve got you! Planning a destination wedding? I’m your girl!

Want to know the best part?? Using a travel agent is F•R•E•E. That’s right, no tricks, only treats. Travel agents are paid from the vendors that we book for you! No, it doesn’t cost more. Sometimes, we can even find better deals!

So, when you’re feeling overwhelmed and dreaming of your next vacation, just shoot me an email or message me on Facebook/Instagram.

I can’t wait to help you find your happy place! 🗺
