My clients are off to Aruba for Christmas. This special family is going to escape the cold of the north and spend the holidays in the sand and sun at Tamarijn Resort. They will be right on the water with their premium oceanfront room. They are sure to make some special memories together.

My clients are off on a special 13th birthday celebration. Their family and grandma and grandpa are headed to Royalton Bavaro Resort in the Dominican Republic for some fun in the sun. They will love their swim up Diamond Club rooms, the lazy river, grotto bar, beautiful beach, and just being together to celebrate a big birthday. This is mom's second visit to the resort so she will be able to show every one the best spots.

It is so important to keep your passport in a secured spot in your bag. Using the same spot each time makes it easier to find it when you need it.

Passports are left behind in airplane seatback pockets more often than you’d think. Don’t make this mistake and risk being denied entry to your dream destination. Take it from us, avoid the pocket!

Eight years ago today, Tim and I left for our around the world trip. 75,000 miles by plane, train, car, boat, and foot across 6 continents, 30+ countries, and countless cities: Road tripping in New Zealand, walking the Great Wall of China, exploring ruins in Cambodia, photographing an African safari, cruising the Mediterranean, and strolling the streets of Prague. Since this trip I have added many more countries and checked off my last continent!

I left behind a job that brought me zero joy. I quickly learned that doing something scary and having once in a lifetime experiences was where I needed to be.

This was the best life decision I made. It made me realize that I was on the wrong career path and helped me see what I really wanted to do. Now I have my own travel agency and I get to be there to help my clients plan their own life changing travel experiences.

It has been an amazing eight years thanks to my family, friends, and clients. I can't wait to see what adventures we all go in the coming year.

I am back in the office today after a jam packed Travel with Anne Mediterranean cruise. We saw so much in our two week adventure. Lots more details will be shared about the NCL Viva ship, port stops, food, and experiences I had.

I am thankful for this group (a few are missing from the photo) for making this a successful trip! I got to spend valuable time with some close friends, got to know some of my clients who I have only met via email/phone, and made some new friends along the way. I hope everyone had as much fun as I did.

Also, if you want the best gelato in Rome, it can be found at Fior di Luna. Have the pastitsio or lemon basil gelato.

It is finally here! My Travel with Anne group cruise to the Mediterranean! This group cruise has been in the works for almost two years now. I am so excited to be sailing with some of my regular Travel with Anne clients and a bunch of new ones too.

We will be sailing on Norwegian Cruise Line's ​newest and most innovative ship, the Norwegian Viva. We have a jam packed itinerary with stops in Greece, Turkey, France, and Italy. I will be posting as much as possible.

I will be out of the office from October 17​​, 2024 -​ November 4, 2024. While I won't be completing new quotes during these dates, I will be available to my traveling clients.
