✨ “Gift experiences, not things.” I couldn’t agree more! ✨

As a travel agent, I’ve learned one universal truth: the memories we create through shared experiences are truly priceless.

Every time my clients return, glowing from their trips and raving about the unforgettable moments, I’m reminded why travel is the ultimate gift. 🎁

If you’re thinking about putting a trip under the tree this year, here are three magical ideas to inspire you:

🎄 For the little ones: Imagine their faces lighting up as they explore Disneyland or Disney World! From savoring a Dole Whip to watching breathtaking fireworks, these trips bring pure magic through a child’s eyes.

🌴 For your special someone: Picture this—waking up to the sound of waves on a Caribbean island, enjoying breakfast in bed, and relaxing with no agenda or alarms. Paradise is closer than you think!

🚢 For the adventurer: A Mediterranean cruise blends relaxation and adventure perfectly. From historic landmarks to serene ocean views, it’s the ultimate getaway for those craving exploration.

💬 So, what travel gift would you put under the tree for your loved ones? 🎁 Let me know—your secret’s safe with me!

💡 Pros & Cons of Booking a Trip on Your Own ⬇️

Sure, you can plan your trips yourself—but is it really worth the hassle? Let’s break it down:

The Pros
✅ Full control: You call all the shots—flights, hotels, activities—it’s your show.
✅ The thrill of the hunt: If deal-chasing is your thing, this is your time to shine!
✅ The planning high: Daydreaming about your trip can feel just as exciting as the trip itself.

The Cons
❌ Option overload: Thousands of tabs, endless reviews… and still no clarity on what’s best.
❌ Coordination chaos: From flights to tours to itineraries, juggling it all can be overwhelming.
❌ Time drain: Customizing every element of your trip eats up hours—time you could spend elsewhere.

So, is it worth it?
If you'd rather skip the stress and head straight to the good part, I’ve got you covered! 🎉

A vacation isn’t just about getting away from it all — it’s about making every moment feel amazing. And let’s be honest, it’s the little details that can make or break your trip, like:

➡️ Opening your curtains to a stunning ocean view, not... the resort’s parking lot.

➡️ Staying somewhere that actually delivers — amazing food, top-notch service, and amenities you’ll rave about.

➡️ Spending your time on experiences that are 100% worth it, not just “Instagram cool.”

These things matter, and they’re exactly what I obsess over so you don’t have to.

When I plan your trip, it’s all about making sure it’s effortless for you — no stress, no second-guessing, just pure vacation bliss.

You deserve a break that feels every bit as incredible as the work you put in all year.

Yikes! I hate to be the one to say it, but here’s the truth about the travel industry:

T’is the season to give! And if you’re thinking about gifting travel this Holiday season…

First of all, your giftee is lucky to have you in their life.

And second of all, here are a few tips for a perfectly executed gifted trip:

🎁 If possible, to keep things open-ended. Unless you’re 100% sure someone can depart on the exact dates you decide, it’s worthwhile keeping things flexible, just in case.

🎁 You may want to forgo pre-booking something. Instead, gift a token that represents the trip, like a map, brochure, or travel-related items, and then allow the person you’re gifting to plan the trip with a trusted travel advisor.

🎁 Sometimes it’s not the trip. It’s the journey. You may want to make the person you’re gifting a part of the travel planning process and give them VIP treatment by having an advisor who can curate and do the heavy lifting of booking the travel once they decide where they’d like to go.

Not to brag, but I am an expert in stealth and secrecy when it comes to travel. If you could use a hand gifting a loved one a trip this season, get in touch.

🎁 Tis the season for gifting! So, let’s dream big—if you could gift yourself the ultimate vacation, where would you go?

For me, it would be a breathtaking trip to Barbados to swim with sea turtles in crystal-clear waters. Here’s the vision:

🏖️ Carlisle Bay for up-close snorkeling with green and hawksbill turtles, exploring vibrant reefs and even a few shipwrecks!
🌅 A luxurious catamaran cruise with unforgettable sunsets and a beach BBQ.
🌴 Beach days at Paynes Bay and exploring natural wonders like Harrison’s Cave and Animal Flower Cave for the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation.
🍹 Dining at Oistins Fish Fry for fresh, local flavors, then unwinding at a cozy beachside resort—total paradise.

Summer trip inspiration incoming ☀️

What are the best islands for summer getaways to the Caribbean? 🌴

It’s hard to choose favorites—there are so many amazing things to see and do on every island, but these three are my top picks during the summer months.

Barbados – Spend a week exploring Crane Beach, famous for its pink sands and turquoise waters, and immerse yourself in the island's rich culture with a visit to Bridgetown to explore local markets and history.

Bermuda – I always book snorkeling excursions and Hamilton city tours for my clients, and they come home raving about the pink sand beaches and the island’s mix of British charm with Caribbean vibes. The crystal-clear waters are perfect for both adventure and relaxation.

Dominican Republic – Zip-lining through the jungle and swimming in cenotes are must-do activities in the Dominican Republic. Whether you're staying in Punta Cana or exploring the historic town of Santo Domingo, adventure and relaxation await!

The way we travel is changing.

I mean, we’ll always love the beaches and hot sun, but more and more, I’m seeing unique requests like:

✨ Astro-tourism: Watching the stars in a clear night sky or chasing the northern lights.

🧘 Transformative Retreats — Trips designed around self-reflection,

✈️ Skip-gen travel — Grandparents traveling with their grandkids.

I love that travel is becoming more unique and personalized. People are setting the intention for their travels then looking for experiences and destinations that will fit what they truly want.

Inspiration Alert!
It may be chilly here in Lubbock, but all the photos I’ve been staring at of the turquoise Caribbean Sea are reminding me of warmer places. 🌞

Right now, I’m working on an itinerary for a client heading to the Bahamas for their family getaway. They’re looking for a blend of relaxation and adventure, so I’m suggesting they stay at either Atlantis Paradise Island or Baha Mar.

I love these two resorts for their perfect mix of luxury, family-friendly activities, and unforgettable experiences. Atlantis is famous for its expansive water parks and marine life experiences, while Baha Mar offers world-class golf, spas, and plenty of opportunities for beach relaxation.

My clients are starting their planning early to secure their dream resorts, as well as book the tours and activities they really want to experience during their trip.
