Kia Ora, North Island 🌿🇳🇿

Four days. A full itinerary. And somehow it still feels like we only scratched the surface.

From Auckland a ferry ride over to Waiheke Island , vineyards, coastal views, and that relaxed island rhythm that makes you immediately slow down.

Then on to Hobbiton Movie Set, truly enchanting. Stepping into The Shire felt like walking straight into a storybook. Lush green hills, tiny round doors, and that magical New Zealand light that makes everything glow.

Rotorua brought a completely different energy. An evening walk through the lighted Redwood Forest (brought from California), geothermal steam rising from the earth at Hell’s Gate Geothermal Park, mineral mud baths, and an unforgettable evening immersed in Māori culture. Storytelling, performance, connection to the land and a fantastic traditional dinner that tied it all together. So much story telling and heart.

The North Island is dynamic, soulful, and layered. It’s honestly hard to choose favorites , there is so much to do and so many cities and places to see here, but not enough time in this trip. We barely scratches the surface.

But now… it’s time to head south. ✈️
South Island, here we come.

Kia Ora, New Zealand 🇳🇿
This year I’m leaning into the outdoors — places that feel open, calm, and beautifully green. New Zealand fits that intention perfectly and marks my first international trip of 2026.

Fresh air, wide landscapes, and time spent outside.

Day 1 in Auckland: beautiful weather, city views from the Sky Tower, and an amazing meal at Ahi.

Grateful to start this chapter here. 🌿

Long post alert…

A full-circle moment, extraordinary customer service, and what felt like a little divine intervention today.

My mom, June Boblitt, founded our travel agency in 1977 in El Cerrito. About three months ago, I received a call from clients I hadn’t heard from in over 20 years. They knew my family well and had been booking with us since nearly the very beginning. They reached out about a Christmas cruise, and it was such a joy to reconnect and reminisce about the “old travel days.”

This trip was likely their last big travel hurrah together, as mobility challenges have made travel more difficult — so it felt especially meaningful to help make it happen.

Fast forward to today — their departure day.
I happened to be running errands in El Cerrito, which is rare for me. After a dentist appointment, I felt nostalgic and made a few stops: See’s Candies, the El Cerrito Post Office, and of course — I couldn’t resist honoring my mom’s favorite haunt — Wienerschnitzel.

As I drove down San Pablo Avenue, I noticed what looked like a serious accident with police cars and tow trucks everywhere. I pulled into post office parking lot, sat in my car enjoying a chili cheese dog, thinking about our business, my mom, and those early El Cerrito days — feeling deeply connected.

Then my phone rang.
It was the clients.
They’d had a rough start and had been in a car accident. Their flight was delayed, so they could still make it, but they didn’t know how they’d get to the airport — no Uber on their phones, bags everywhere, shaken and exhausted.
My first instinct was, “Where are you?”
They were the accident I had just passed.
At that exact moment, a taxi drove through the parking lot in front of me.
Without hesitation, I jumped into action. I called the cab, explained the situation, and told the clients I’d be there in minutes — with the driver. When I arrived, police were still on scene, their luggage lined up on the side of the road, and they were understandably overwhelmed knowing they still had to get to the airport.

We loaded their bags into the cab, got them settled, and I waved goodbye as they headed off. I even used my AAA card to have their car towed back to Pinole.

I’m still not quite sure how all of that aligned — me being there, in that exact place, at that exact moment — while I was already feeling so connected to my mom, our business, and our El Cerrito roots. The timing of that cab alone felt nothing short of miraculous.
I couldn’t help but feel that my mom was right there with me, quietly nudging me forward, reminding me to give the very best service — the way she always did.
I just want to say this: I would show up like this for any client if the need arose. Today was emotional, humbling, and a powerful reminder of why I do what I do — and where it all began.

✨ Lyon, you lit up the night! An unforgettable evening at the opening of Fête des Lumières — the whole city transformed into a glowing open-air gallery. From dazzling projections dancing across historic facades to pop-up light installations tucked into every square, it felt like stepping inside a living work of art.

The clouds parted and the moon was shining bright!

Lyon knows how to sparkle ✨

✨ One more trip across the pond before wrapping up the year… and this time it’s all about the magic of French Christmas markets (and food)! 🇫🇷🎄

A little rain and chilly weather couldn’t dampen the holiday spirit — if anything, it made the lights glow brighter and the vin chaud taste even better. ✨☔️🔥

First stop: Annecy — the “Venice of the Alps” and an absolutely charming place to kick off the festivities. From shimmering lake views to cozy market stalls filled with local crafts, melted cheese delights, and festive cheer, it’s the perfect way to step into the season.

More markets, more sparkle, and more holiday inspiration to come… stay tuned! 🎁✨

What an incredible first day onboard the all-new Celebrity Xcel! Every time I step onto an Edge-class ship, I’m reminded why I love the Celebrity brand so much — innovative design, elevated dining, and that signature modern-luxury feel.
