Bon voyage to the “G” family setting sail with Royal Caribbean! 🇧🇸

If you don’t have packing cubes at home or a shoe bag — here’s a simple trick. Pack smarter, not harder. ✅

Travel is more than just seeing new places – it's also about connecting with them in meaningful ways.

You’ll receive a 🌟Travel Guide🌟 (sample below) I created just for you about important details, like tipping practices.

You won’t have to wonder or research for:
💵 How much cash should I bring to tip?
💵 Who do I tip?
💵 How do I exchange my money?

The travel guide will have it all ready for you.

💛 For instance, the minimum wage is going up in Mexico in 2025 (by 12%). This means that minimum wage for an 8 hour day (NOT per hour, per DAY) is 278.80MXN or approximately $13 USD per DAY!

💛 So, as you explore and enjoy your vacation, remember to think about those working hard at your resort especially the ones most often overlooked, make the least, and don’t get as much attention — the gardeners, lobby cleaners, and airport bathroom cleaners, etc.

💛Every little bit helps, and they’ll truly appreciate and deserve it.

Small Business Saturday ✨ Tis the season to support small and give BIG! 🎁

If you’re thinking of traveling in 2025, working with a travel advisor is the 🌟 EASIEST 🌟 way to plan your trip while supporting a small business.

✨ I don’t just book vacations— I truly care about elevating the entire experience.

When you book direct, the big vendors like cruises, hotels, all inclusives and theme parks keep a built in advisor fee —whether you use an advisor or not — but when you work with a travel advisor, that built in commission goes to someone who’s invested in making your trip amazing.

🫶🏼Even if you’re not ready to plan, you can still support my small business (for free!) by liking, sharing, or engaging with my posts.

To all my loyal and returning clients and future ones, THANK YOU for letting me be part of your special moments and vacations! I’m forever grateful I get to work with you to experience the world.

💌 Whenever you’re ready to take your next trip, I’m here—just send me a message!

The real Black Friday win? 👉🏼 Knowing which travel deals are the real steals and which ones are just shiny distractions.

While everyone’s rushing to see the deals and “book now,” working with a travel advisor (that’s me 🙋🏻‍♀️) gives you the insider knowledge to help you sort through the noise.

Because let’s be honest—some so-called “deals” are just cleverly wrapped price tags.

As your travel advisor, I know which resorts, cruise lines, and destinations deliver real value and a good “deal” when I see one.

✨DM me, and I’ll help you plan a trip that’s worth every penny.

Thanksgiving always brings a wave of gratitude during the busyness of the holiday season, doesn’t it? 🍂

It makes me reflect on the amazing people who stand by me and the experiences that have shaped me to where I am.

This season, I’m especially thankful for the opportunities to explore new places and create memories with loved ones.

How about you? What are you most grateful for this year?

If you’re deciding your room options, here’s a quick breakdown: ⬇️

🌊Ocean View Rooms: provide stunning vistas that really elevate your vacation. With easy access to amenities and less walking, they’re worth the upgrade if you can swing it. You might be surprised at how affordable the upgrade can be!

🌳Entry-Level Rooms: Budget-friendly and great for saving. Expect limited views, like bushes or trees, and a bit more walking to key areas. If saving is your main goal, this is the way to go.

Big changes are coming on how you travel to Europe!

Here’s what you need to know before you go. ⬇️

Starting in early January 2025, if you have a U.S passport you’ll need to apply for the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) to enter over 30 European countries. We’re talking big places like Greece, Italy, Spain, France, Portugal and more. 🇮🇹🇬🇷🇪🇸

Your authorization will be valid for three years or until your passport expires (whichever first). This is NOT a visa, but an entry requirement.

If you’re between ages 18-70, you’ll pay 7 euros, to apply online. This process can be fast and is usually processed within minutes. BUT some can take up to 30 days if additional information is required. So don’t risk it and wait to apply.

As your travel advisor, I stay informed about these changes & help you with the process, so you can have an easy travel experience with no worries!

It’s just one small step and I’ve got you covered. ✅

💫Day 5:

My camera roll after our adventure began with a tour of a stunning cave system that felt like stepping into another world. 🤌🏼

We made our way to eat ice cream at an incredible shop that had unique flavors like Arroz con gandules (rice & beans), garlic, and over 50 more.

We wrapped up the day with dinner in the mountains that gave us panoramic view of the island. It was absolutely breathtaking. This was one of our favorite dinners and the scenery made it even more unforgettable.

After exploring nature, I’m ready for a relaxing day on the beach. 🏝️

27/08/2024

💫 Day 4:

We started our day in Isabela to visit the Túnel de Guajataca where they had tons of kids activities and animals for families to enjoy. We walked through nature alongside the ocean and tunnel that had beautiful views. The tunnel itself is a remnant of the sugar cane era, when trains were used to transport sugar cane from the farms in the area.

The tunnel led to hiking path where I definitely played amongst the snake plants. I can’t help but think the thousands of dollars this is right here. 😅 I pay good money at Lowe's for these plants and here they are thriving in nature.

We then hopped out the car for a quick visit to Cara del Indio. The massive rock sculpture honors the Taíno chief who fought against the Spanish invasion of Puerto Rico and symbolizes the chief continuing to protect and watch over his land.

Then we ended the day at one of our favorite beaches, soaking up the sun and waves. It was everything I loved, less touristy, more locals and perfect water.

The next stop on our itinerary, Camuy, Puerto Rico.

25/08/2024

🌟Day 3:

Day three was SO FUN! We started our adventure in San Sebastián known for its rich history and waterfalls. We visited a huge and amazing local market, one of the biggest in the area with tons of vendors. The mix of artisanal crafts, delicious foods, and live music made it an incredible experience. I introduced my daughters to Piraguas, a Puerto Rican snow cone from shaved ice — all done by hand. 🍧 My daughter was shocked by how much work it was but the end result was yumm!

The day’s highlight was our trip to a stunning waterfall. Now, I have a 23 month old and 13 year old and would it be easier to not go hike to a waterfall — yup! But the memories we would have missed out on. Traveling with kids *does* require planning and preparing but it’s so WORTH it. They don’t have to be the reason to miss out and they won’t be ours.

We winded down the day with dinner on a mountain ranch, complete with a cable bridge which was an experience. Then off to Aguada we went to visit family and have the perfect ending in the campo with family and games of dominoes.

24/08/2024

🌟Puerto Rico Day 2:

Day two was a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. We started at Crash Boat Beach in Aguadilla, and it truly lived up to its reputation. Early bird gets the best parking or you’re walking LOL. The family-friendly atmosphere, with its chair and umbrella rentals, food stands, water sports, and calm waters, made it an ideal spot for a laid-back day.

The real highlight for everyone was the ATV excursion I had planned. We rode ATVs along the stunning west coast and explored four beautiful beaches.

Is it just me, or do you also need a good mix of beach relaxation and exploration? I love how excursions can really elevate a trip, and this one definitely delivered. The best vacations I’ve had always include a fantastic guide and exciting tours/adventures.

We ended the day with an amazing dinner featuring the best Mofongo, a Puerto Rican staple, we had all trip. It was so good that we're still raving about it. It was a perfect day all around.

Tomorrow, let’s heads out to San Sebastián.🚘

Wednesday Reminder

YESS! I know, it’s a wild concept. Summer is in full swing BUT reality is the best time to plan August to February travel is *now*.

I know the travel trends, best prices vs. waiting, and all the logistics to make your trip a reality with what you want.
