Happy Labor Day!

Labor Day, first celebrated on September 5, 1882, in New York City, was born from the labor movement’s fight for better working conditions, fair wages, and reasonable hours. Fast forward to 1894, and it became a national holiday.

Whether you’re taking a well-deserved break (we are) or still on the grind, this day is for you. Thank you for everything you do!

As an avid ocean cruiser, I had an opportunity to take a river cruise this year. I thought, “I love my mega-ship with its rock-climbing walls and five-story waterslides!” Right? My river cruise began in Amsterdam.

The moment I boarded the ship, I was already in comparison mode. River vs ocean cruise round one. Ding, ding ding, ding! “This is small. Will there be enough to keep me busy? This better be fun!”

Let me tell you that river cruising surprised me in ways I’d never expected. Hear me out on this one. [Link in comments]

But wait – I’m getting ahead of myself here. Let’s rewind to the beginning...."

As soon as you step foot into Rovinj, you're transported to another era. This quaint Istrian town is like stepping into a fairytale, with its narrow, cobbled streets winding their way up a gentle hill, towards the tall, imposing Venetian-style bell tower, the town's most recognizable landmark.

The journey to the top of the tower is worth it, as you're treated to a breathtaking view of the town and the sparkling Adriatic Sea. In the early morning, the harbor is a lively hub of activity as fishermen return with their night's catch, their boats bobbing gently against the backdrop of pastel-colored houses.

By the afternoon, the hustle and bustle gives way to a calm serenity, where the only sounds you'll hear are the lapping of the waves against the shore, and the distant tolling of the bell tower. This daily rhythm is the heartbeat of Rovinj, like much of Istria, a charming interplay of tradition and daily life.

We found the pride in Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania. Sleeping peacefully and unbothered by our presence.

The crater is one of the most beautiful places on earth. The ecosystem diversity in such a small area is almost mind blowing. 🤯

The Serena Lodge has the best views of the crater.

This week, let's talk about getting to the Maldives.

You're likely going to make a stop somewhere in the Middle East if you're coming from the east coast of the US. We stopped in Doha, Qatar, and spent a few days there before continuing on to the Malé.

You can also stop in UAE and spend a few days there. Most clients opt to spend a few nights exploring Dubai. Once you arrive in Malé, depending on where you're staying you'll either take a speedboat, a seaplane, and in some instances both.

The video is my recent experience on a seaplane. We landed on the water on a platform floating in the ocean. Your luggage is unloaded on the platform while a speedboat from your property whisks you away to paradise.

Speedboat and seaplane transfers can vary depending on the resort. Private seaplanes and luxury boat transfers are all an option. The transfers can also be made accessible for someone in a wheelchair.

When you're ready for your trip to the Maldives, we're here to help you plan it. DM us.

Have you ever wanted to have professional photos taken when you travel? I do it often.

This one was taken in NYC. I had a photographer snapping a few candid photos on the street. Batman decided to approach (he saw the photographer) and ask for money to take a photo with him.

I politely declined. He pursued me and the photographer snapped this photo. I still laugh because Batman wasn't much taller than me!

I hired Flytographer for this photo shoot. They have been a favorite over the years, and I've used them for clients. I've used Flytographer in Italy, the UAE, and the Bahamas.

TIP: Schedule your vacation photoshoot for sunrise or sunset. You'll get amazing light and your photos will pop.

Another place to contact for vacation photos is Airbnb Experiences. There are photographers available to capture your day or trip.

🇲🇻

Last year, I spent an amazing 8 days in the Maldives. Starting today, I'll share the "BEST" of the Maldives every Monday. Let's get started.

Getting there ✈️
This is a long-haul journey in its truest form. From an international gateway, travel 14–15 hours from the east coast of the US to the Middle East. Dubai or Doha are the most probable locations. From there, you'll connect and fly another 5-hours to Malé. We recommend spending a few days in either destination. On my trip, I spent 2-nights in Doha.

Time Difference ⏰
Malé is 10 hours ahead of New York (EST). I struggled a bit to stay in touch with the US. This could be a blessing if you're seriously needing some downtime.

Currency 💵
The US dollar is universally recognized and accepted. In fact, I do not recommend converting currency to the Maldivian Rufiyaa. While it is accepted, you'll find the US dollar is much easier to use. And you'll have a difficult time exchanging your currency back to USD when you leave. To exchange it back, you'll need to hold on to the receipt they give you. Without it, you'll be taking home the Maldivian Rufiyaa as a souvenir.

Best time to travel ✈️
November through April is when you'll see little rain and fantastic weather. I traveled in June, which is the monsoon season. 🌧 It's also a less expensive time to go. It rained one or two nights during my visit. And the weather was humid. Being in Florida, I think humidity is our middle name.

Please like and share with anyone interested in visiting the Maldives.

I made it to the Maldives. This is a gorgeous 5-star resort. I’m staying in an overwater sunset villa. The one thing I can’t convey on video is how amazing this room smells. I wanted to quickly show you my room. Celebrities often stay here for the levels of service and privacy.

Depending on the waters that day, this is a 30-45 minute speed boat ride from Male. Service so far has been top notch.

If you see any properties that you like and want more information on, DM me.

In 10 days, I'm jetting off to explore the Maldives. I have quite a busy schedule visiting a new property each day by speedboat.

It's a long-haul flight to get there that will include a layover somewhere in the Middle East. Typically Qatar or the UAE. On the way there, I have enough time to leave the airport and see a little of Qatar. On the way back, my layover is overnight and will require a hotel stay. Torn between a hotel or pod.

The Maldives can be budget-friendly. Most people don't think of the Maldives as being easy on the wallet. But it can be and I'll show you a few places to consider.

It can also be a family destination (and still budget-friendly). That won't mean a stay in an overwater villa. But, you can certainly plant your family beachfront in a multiple-bedroom suite with all the views.

It's an even better destination for those who have high-stress jobs (raising my hand 🙋🏾‍♀️).

Are the Maldives on your travel list?

One of the best parts about traveling (besides actually being on vacation) is reminiscing on all the amazing memories we’ve made.

From spending time with loved ones to splurging in luxury to enjoying an exotic adventure, we often find ourselves day dreaming of past trips.

An underrated wine destination just two hours southwest of Vienna, South Styria, Austria is a stunning wine region with gorgeous rolling hills, endless vineyards, charming village towns, picturesque scenery, and hospitable locals.

The Southern Styrian Wine Road runs from Ehrenhausen to Leutschach, and it’s the perfect place for adventurous wine lovers as the area boasts great hikes along many trails and country lanes with, you guessed it, incredible views.

South Styria is best known for its white wines, including the Sauvignon Blanc, but red wine connoisseurs shouldn’t be deterred as the region’s most prominent red, the Blauer Zweigelt, is worth a sip.

Take a sip of wine and start dreaming of Austria. When the time is right, we’ll help you visit in person!

America’s only private island resort, Little Palm Island Resort & Spa is an adults-only tropical paradise that is the perfect combination of privacy and luxury.

Located just off the waters of our famous Florida Keys coastline, the island is filled with lush, verdant tropical foliage and exotic wildlife – a destination like no other.

Previously known as Little Munson Island, it was once a secret retreat for well-known celebrities and politicians.

After Hurricane Irma blew through in 2017, Little Palm Island was completely renovated.

In 2020 it officially re-opened and re-emerged as a sparkling new, ultra-luxurious private island resort with timeless elegance and just the right amount of contemporary feel.
