Couldn’t be a better way to end our cruise than dining at my favorite, Tiana’s Palace on “Mardi Gras night!” The best music and energy with a great menu! Disney Cruise Line has done it again….delivering an amazing vacation experience for our family! Sad we have to get off the ship tomorrow, but we’ll be back!

I fell in love with Ketchikan the moment we pulled into port! From the beautiful colors on Creek Street to the boats at the marina and the trees along the Salmon Walk, it was just lovely. Plus much to do from learning about totem poles to the lumberjack show and more….can’t wait to go back!

When they say plan for layers on your Alaskan cruise, they aren’t kidding….we’ve had some freezing weather with thermals, a winter coat/hat/gloves, and now I’m barefoot on the balcony because it’s so warm!

The scenery you can see from the White Pass Railway is incredible! We paired it will a stop at the Yukon Suspension Bridge, which was fun, too! Have you ridden the train in Skagway yet?

Our glacier viewing expedition got canceled for bad weather, but that didn’t stop us from enjoying the views as we traveled through Tracy Arm Fjord! This is one reason I love having a balcony….Ive got a chair, binoculars, cover from today’s drizzly weather, but can still see all the beautiful landscape going by!

🚫 Problem: You only have a few days to spare for a getaway

✅ Solution: Me!

I’m here to help you maximize your vacation time. Here are my best tips for planning short and sweet trips 👇

➡️ Prioritize your must-see attractions: Make a list so you know what to work your time around.

➡️ Be Mindful: Things like the location of your hotel, transportation options, the level of traffic in the places your visiting — all of it can impact the time you spend actually enjoying the place you’re in.

➡️ Stay Flexible: Plan, but leave room for adventure. Magic strikes when you least expect it, so stay open-minded and flexible to make the most of your trip.

➡️ Delegate the Details: Take advantage of my experience & expertise...for my specialties, I know what clients have consistently loved and can help whittle your long list down to the best of the best.

I learned so much on my recent training trip to Universal Hollywood (the first one of its kind, BTW)! I am not new to this theme park & was actually just there in the Fall, but I have some new tips & new favorites to share with my clients to really take their trips to the next level! Who's ready for a Universal Hollywood trip?

Want to pronounce "Xcaret" like a local? It's pronounced as "esh-kah-ret". Xcaret can refer to the Xcaret Hotels or the eco park....both are amazing and highly recommended! If you love nature, history, adventure, or local arts & craft, these are excellent options to consider for your Riviera Maya trip!

I’ve been professionally planning trips to Disney World for almost 6 years, and it just keeps getting more fun as I get to see my repeat clients' families grown and continue to have experiences together...plus see changes and updates at the parks.

But let’s go back to the basics for a minute...

If it’s your first time going to Walt Disney World, here are my recommendations:

STAY: For a first trip, definitely stay onsite. Pop Century or Art of Animation can be great resorts for your first visit. Both of these are excellent value resorts. If you want some extra perks and have more room in your budget, there are Moderate, Deluxe, and even Villas that have more amenities & a higher level of comfort.

EAT: Get a dining plan to make it more all-inclusive. Disney World has a lot of amazing sit-down restaurants and those are great to plan about once/day for most people. There are a lot of great snacks, but if you've never tried them, you've got to have both a Dole Whip & Cheeseburger Spring Rolls at least once!

DO: Don't try to fit everything into one trip....there is just too much. But do plan to visit each of the four theme parks for at least one full day - skip the Park Hopper option on your first visit, but plan for at least 4-day tickets (5 or 6 is even better). Add an extra day for a break in the middle to rest, enjoy your resort & non-park activities.

Save & share this post...and if you're ready for some help planning your trip to Walt Disney World, I'm here to make it easy on you with no additional cost for my planning services - head to my bio to get started!

Oh hey, beach lovers 👋

In honor of summer being right around the corner, I thought I’d share three of my favorite beach destinations for summer getaways.

Cancun - One of my favorite all-inclusive beach destinations because overall it is less expensive for most travelers, has fun excursions when you're ready for a break from the beach, and a ton of options for great resorts!

Maui - So many great beaches here that you can spent a week (or more!) just beach-hopping around the island with everything from long walking beaches to great snorkel spots and fun boogie boarding.

San Diego - I love this town! Great for my clients out west who want to drive to their destination...You can find fun beaches here for swimming, long walks, riding a bike along the water, tide pooling, and so much more.

Which one of these sounds most like your style...or share your own personal favorite!

Let me know in the comments👇

If you booked a trip with me (doesn't have to be Universal Orlando & can be old or new), post about it on social media and tag me - (I love referrals!) ❤. You will be entered to win one of the these amazing prizes...if you post now, you'll be entered to win all 3 of these prizes that our agency is giving away throughout the rest of the month!

I will like the post if I see it, so if you think I haven't seen it, please comment below or screenshot & send it to me!

Moms stressed about planning your next family vacation: this is for you!

Seasoned travel advisor of almost 6 years here 🙋‍♀️

The quickest and least stressful way to get that family vacation time where you can focus on making all the memories is to call in reinforcements!

My goal is to:

✅ Tailor your trip specifically to your tastes and travel style.

✅ Make your travel planning process super easy and personal.

✅ Plan and book the details so you don’t have to.

And I may be biased, but travel is SO much better and easier when these things are taken care of for you.

When you’re ready to plan that trip, send me an email: [email protected] .

You can let me know your preferences and vision for this vacation, and I’ll share my recommendations so we can get that dream vacation on your calendar!

Something you HAVE to do while visiting Universal Orlando is to ride Hagrid's Motorbike Adventure. It is my favorite ride at Universal for sure...with the smooth ride track, green tree-filled set, and the animatronic creatures...it is just so fun!

TIP: If it's your first time, see if you can talk your ride companion into letting you ride on the motorbike...then the next time switch and ride in the sidecar! Both are fun, but the motorbike experience is the best!

Have you ever been on Hagrid's yet?

Three mama-approved trip ideas she will absolutely love! 👇

🌺 Hawaii: This destination is one for the moms who love everything from gourmet meals to hole-in-the-wall mom-and-pop shops that the locals rave about. She deserves a break from packing lunches and weekly meal prep to be treated to great food, sunshine, and relaxation.

🏰 Disneyland one-on-one with YOU! Great for moms who love fun, food, and Disney! Plus she will be so touched that you want to spend time just with her!

⛱ Cancun is perfect for the mama who needs R&R. Le Blanc Cancun and Sun Palace are two great options at two different price points that both have excellent spas, great beaches, and a relaxing ambiance. Just imagine how great she’ll feel when she checks in, slides her feet into those soft hotel slippers, puts on a robe, and kicks back to relax.

Flowers and chocolates are always a special treat, but if you‘re looking to really wow Mom this year, contact me and let’s surprise her with a trip!
