I completely agree! There's nothing quite like the feeling of walking along the shore, taking in the sights and sounds of the ocean. The salty air, the waves crashing against the shore, and the warmth of the sun can bring a sense of peace and contentment. Whether you're looking for a relaxing escape, or a new adventure, the beach can be a great place to explore.

How do you spend your time on the beach?
Water or Sand?
Sun or Shade?

Duck... Duck... oops, wrong game!

If you're interested in playing rubber ducks on cruise ship, it's easy to get started. The game began in 2018 by a 10 year old girl who wanted to make people smile and have fun. All you need to do is bring your own ducks and tag, label, or write a message on them. Then, you can hide them around the ship, but be sure to not put them in shops, the pool, or hot tubs, and be careful to hide them in places where they won't be blown overboard. Have fun!

Have you ever played?

One of my favorite parts of social media is getting to look “behind the scenes” at what my favorite influencers and online personalities are up to.

So, in the spirit of pulling back that curtain, today I’m sharing my Travel “Get To Do” List for 2023!

I’m fortunate to get to go on so many adventures this year, and I want to take you along for the ride!

First up:
7-night Disney Cruise with a Pixar Day at Sea

The Pixar Day at Sea is brand new this year and I cannot wait! I'll share what I know about the event in the coming days/weeks, then you can follow along in stories while we're on the ship next month.

Next:
Magical Vacation Planner's (the travel agency I work for) annual conference where we'll be keeping up with the latest and greatest changes and updates across the travel industry. Hopefully I'll be able to squeeze in a d or two in the Disney theme parks while we're there. (Did I mention that our conference will be held at Walt Disney World?)

For the rest of the travel plans, you'll have to check out my blog post: travelwithjamied.com/blog/a-year-of-travel-my-2023-get-to-dos

Where do you get to travel this year?

05/01/2023

You did it! You survived another holiday season!

🎉 Congratulations!
🎊 Well done!
🤩 Pat yourself on the back!

But... now we’re into the winter season and the weather has gone nuts.
Seriously!
Catastrophic blizzard through Buffalo (and the northeast), atmospheric river (what is that anyway?) over California, severe weather advisories all over the country. Geesh!

Sounds like the perfect time to start thinking about (and planning) your next vacation.

Speaking of... Have you ever heard the term “Wave Season”?
Check out the carousel to learn a bit about it.

This is often the best time of year to make vacation plans.

Pro tip: if you want to take advantage of promotional rates but aren’t 100% sure of your plans, place a REFUNDABLE deposit. That way you can get your money back if you later have to cancel. Win-Win – you get promo rate without the risk of losing your money.

*not all deposits are refundable and some destinations have cancelation or change fees. But not to worry, you will know these details before we ever put money down.*

When you complete the to-do list drop a travel or vacation related emoji below.

(If you don't know what to-do list I'm talking about, go back through the carousel)

New year, SAME OLD me…
 
This is a little twist on this common phrase and I’m sharing the #1 thing that I’m actually taking into 2023 with me!
 
⭐️ My 2022 successes & accomplishments.
 
This is actually a pretty significant thing for me.

I am notoriously hard on myself and have historically focused on the negatives: things that I said I’d do this year and didn’t actually finish, goals I haven’t met, time that wasn’t spent making progress, etc...

I’ve spent a lot time in recent months reframing my mindset to look for and acknowledge the goals I DID accomplish, the progress I DID made, and the small things that weren’t originally goals, but were also accomplished.
 
What’s the #1 thing that you are taking into 2023?

🛑 Don’t buy another Christmas gift until you read THIS! 🛑
 
Keep reading to learn how you can support the small business community this season!  👇👇
 
Today is Small Business Saturday, and I’m challenging you SHOP BIG by going SMALL!

Did you know that small businesses account for 99% (‼️) of business in the U.S.?
 
That means there’s no excuse *not* to shop small as we wrap up 2022.
 
So my challenge to you is to spend at least half of your holiday budget with small businesses. 
 
Now it’s your turn to share the love! Shout out your favorite small business in the comments!
