Just booked! Dreaming of a winter escape? My clients are heading to Disney’s Art of Animation Resort in a Cars Family Suite—the perfect blend of fun and comfort!

Art of Animation isn’t just a resort; it’s a celebration of Disney storytelling. From larger-than-life characters to immersive themes, it feels like stepping right into the world of your favorite films. The Cars section is a Radiator Springs dream, complete with Lightning McQueen and Mater greeting you along the way!

And the Cars Family Suite? Talk about space! It’s designed for families, with room to spread out, relax, and enjoy the magic. Separate sleeping areas, a kitchenette, and two bathrooms make it the perfect place to recharge between park adventures.

What are YOU waiting for? Winter break is coming up fast—let’s make some magic together!

🌴Today, my clients left behind Boston’s icy chill and stepped into paradise at Sandals Royal Barbados, where relaxation is the top priority!

This tropical haven is designed for pure indulgence:
Private tranquility soaking tubs on most balconies and patios for peaceful moments with a view
A rooftop pool and bar—the first of its kind at Sandals—for serene oceanfront vibes
Rejuvenating treatments at the Spa, perfect for unwinding
Poolside cocktails and world-class dining at 9 gourmet restaurants

From sunrise swims in the infinity pool to lazy afternoons under swaying palms, this is the kind of escape dreams are made of. Ready to trade the cold for some much-needed R&R? Let’s plan your getaway!

Ever wonder what your travel agent carries as her main travel essentials? Wonder no more—here’s my go-to packing list!

✨ Clothes to layer: Living in Massachusetts, I’m no stranger to bundling up during winter, but I’m also a pro at shedding those layers when I land somewhere warm. Always pack options—you never know what the weather might do!

✨ All the cords: From chargers to portable batteries, I never leave home without them. Pro tip: Keep them handy at security—you’ll need to take them out for the detectors!

✨ Hobbies on the go: For me, it’s all about painting. My watercolors always come with me, ready to capture the beauty of the world. But don’t forget books, downloaded music or podcasts, and Switch games—whatever keeps you entertained during airport waits or downtime.

✨ Multiple pairs of shoes: Whether I’m walking through a bustling city or relaxing by the pool, I pack shoes for every occasion. Don’t forget flip-flops or Crocs for easy poolside lounging!

✨ Comforts of home: From a white noise machine to a cozy blanket or pillow, bringing a little piece of home helps me relax wherever I go.

28 days until I’m back at sea on the Disney Wish!

This ship is absolutely stunning—full of Disney magic, incredible entertainment, and top-notch service. But this time, I’m adding a little extra pixie dust to my trip… I’ll be sailing concierge for the first time! I cannot wait to see what is in store!

That means early boarding, a private lounge, exclusive sundeck access, complimentary food and drinks, and even a personal concierge team to help plan all the details. Plus, I’ll have reservations pre-booked before boarding, so I can relax and enjoy every moment once I’m on board.

I can’t wait to share more about this experience—what are you most curious about on the Disney Wish? Or do you have questions about concierge perks and what’s included?

✨🎄 Merry Christmas Eve! 🎄✨

Question of the day—when do you open your Christmas presents? Are you a Christmas Eve un-wrapper or do you save it all for Christmas morning excitement?

In our house, my son gets to open one special gift on Christmas Eve, but you can bet he’ll be up at the crack of dawn tomorrow to dive into the rest!

We’d love to hear your traditions—drop them in the comments!

21/12/2024

Question of the day—what’s your favorite Christmas movie?

I can never pick just one, so here are my top three (okay, maybe four): The Polar Express, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, Elf, and A Christmas Story.

From magical train rides to over-the-top holiday chaos and leg lamps, these movies always put me in the Christmas spirit.

What about you? Drop your favorites in the comments—I’m always looking for new holiday classics to add to the list!

Christmas magic is wonderful, but once the decorations come down, I’m ready for sunny skies and springtime fun. Universal Studios Orlando is the perfect destination for couples, families, and friends to jump into the new season.

✨ What makes Universal the ultimate spring getaway?
• The Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Sip a Butterbeer in Hogsmeade, ride the Hogwarts Express, and cast spells with an interactive wand.
• Thrills for every adventurer: Experience the speed of VelociCoaster, the magic of Hagrid’s Motorbike Adventure, and the excitement of The Incredible Hulk Coaster.
• Fun for the little ones: Meet Minions, swing with Spider-Man, or cool off at Volcano Bay’s water park.
• Amazing dining options: Enjoy themed meals at Three Broomsticks or treat yourself to gourmet dining at CityWalk.
• Incredible resorts: Relax in retro style at Cabana Bay or enjoy the luxury of Hard Rock Hotel—with early park access included!

Spring is the ideal time to enjoy milder weather, fewer crowds, and all the excitement Universal has to offer. Let me help you plan your perfect trip today!
