When it comes to vacationing at a tropical island resort, the word “relax” is often the first one that comes to mind – because isn’t spending hours on a white sand beach, enjoying the sun and the sea, without a care in the world, a truly blissful way to unwind on vacation?
But what if you want to add an extra layer of relaxation?
You’ll find it at your resort’s spa – a haven for self-care and pampering that complements the paradise surrounding you. Whether you plan a service for just you, or a shared couple’s experience, a few hours at the spa can truly make the cares of the world disappear!

Planning a 2025 Adventure to Rome, Italy? Heads Up About The Year's Holy Year! 🇮🇹 ⛪ 🛐
In 2025, the Catholic Church is celebrating the Jubilee Year, a significant event for Catholic faithful around the world, that occurs every 25 years. Lasting until January 6, 2026, this period will draw millions of pilgrims to Rome and other cities in Italy. While the spiritual atmosphere will be unparalleled, expect larger crowds and higher prices.
If you're aiming for a more relaxed Roman holiday, consider planning your visit outside of this period!
Timing can make or break your travel experience no matter where you are headed. When you're ready to plan, let's chat about finding the perfect time for your dream destination.

Hello! 💁♀️ Have we met yet? If not - I'm Nancy and I have loved traveling ever since I was a little girl and my mother and I would plan our yearly trips with paper maps and AAA triptiks! (Remember those? 🥹 🥰)

✈️🌴 3 Things YOU DIDN'T KNOW About Traveling to the Caribbean – BUT SHOULD! 🌴✈️
Ready to trade your snow boots for flip-flops? Before you jet off to paradise, here are some surprising rules you might not know:
1️⃣ Camo is a no-go! Many Caribbean islands, like Jamaica and Barbados, ban wearing camouflage. It’s reserved for military use only, so pack those tropical prints instead.
2️⃣ No puff, no problem. Bringing e-cigarettes or v**es? Think twice! Some islands, like Barbados, have banned them outright. Don’t let a v**e ruin your vacay.
3️⃣ Leave the seashells behind. Taking that beautiful conch shell home might cost you. In places like the Bahamas, removing shells or sand can land you in hot water (and not the relaxing kind).
Traveling should be stress-free and full of sunshine—not fines! 🌞 Let me help you plan a Caribbean getaway without the hiccups.

Explore. Dream. Discover. Create memories for a lifetime.
From America’s amazing national parks, to relaxing days in a Caribbean paradise, to theme park thrills, to seeing the world on a cruise, memories to last a lifetime are just a vacation away.
Finding the best places to visit - and the right vacation for YOU - can be a challenge however. The internet is filled with sites offering “cheap vacations”, but the reality is many of these seemingly great deals are anything but. And a great deal isn’t so great when it turns into a vacation nightmare.
So how do you know the difference?
Vacations are an investment and like any investment, expert advice and reliable information can mean the difference between a good investment or a bad one. This is where a travel planner - an experienced professional - can truly be your best friend!
Whether you’re planning a vacation just for your family or a multi-family reunion….
Whether you’re traveling with small children, teens, adult children, or grandparents – or all of the above…
Whether you’re celebrating your child’s birthday, graduation, or your own special anniversary….
……when you’re ready to make those vacation dreams come true, my help is here for you. From helping you decide on the perfect destination, to making sure you get the best price combined with the greatest value, to providing you with everything you need to know for your trip, to being there to help if something goes wrong - I’m with you every step of the way.
A carefully planned vacation with the help of a travel expert can save you money and time both before you leave and while you are there, and is the single best thing you can do to make the most of your vacation dollars and insure that your vacation is truly magical from beginning to end.
Vacations can create memories that last a lifetime, and I can’t think of anything more precious than that. Those precious memories deserve the best planning possible!
Here’s to planning your vacation memories!
