Ireland is breathtaking but driving here is a completely different experience for Americans.

The car is right-hand drive. Traffic moves on the left. The roads through the countryside are barely wide enough for one car, let alone two passing each other.

This car had to back up the steep, cliff-side road because it could not fit past the oncoming bus.

Consider booking a tour with a guide and leave the driving to the experts.

If Ireland is on your list, follow the link in my bio and reach out to me. I’ll make sure you’re prepared for the experience, not caught off guard by it.

Some people told us to skip the Cliffs of Moher because it is too touristy.

I disagree, the Cliffs are spectacular and worth dealing with the crowds. Here are 3 practical tips that I discovered on our visit to the Cliffs of Moher.

Save this post for later and follow me to get more practical travel tips.

The Vacation Wizards was just named Best of Alabama for the second year in a row.

That kind of recognition, earned in a state we're proud to call home, means a lot to this team. It comes from genuinely caring about getting every detail right for every client.

I'm proud to be part of an agency that holds itself to that standard, and it's something my clients benefit from every time we plan a trip together.

While our home office is in Mobile, we have agents spread across the country and we work with clients all over the country. When you book a trip with me, you're getting the backing of an award-winning team behind every trip we plan.

If you are ready to start planning your next vacation, check the link in my bio and contact me to get started.

Later this week we are heading to Ireland. I can't wait, but we have there first.

Long-haul flights are their own kind of travel skill. The right carry-on items make the difference between landing ready to explore and landing exhausted before the trip even starts.

Here is what I have packed in my carry-on so far:
• Noise-canceling headphones, a Trtl pillow, and an eye mask. These three things make a long flight feel a lot shorter.
• Chapstick, tissues, and individually wrapped wipes to clean your tray table and armrests. Planes are dirtier than most people realize.
• Water bottle. Fill it after security. Cabin air is extremely dry, and staying hydrated makes a real difference in how you feel when you land.
• Kindle. A good book is the best travel companion when you're over the Atlantic.
• Extra change of clothes. Checked luggage gets delayed — it happens. Having a fresh outfit in your carry-on means you're not stuck waiting for your bag before you can start enjoying your trip.
• Pain reliever, antacids, motion sickness tablets, and any prescriptions. Keep them in your carry-on, not your checked bag. You'll want them within reach.

Anything I missed? Let me know in the comments below if you have any suggestions.

You've done Disney World.

Multiple times. You know the rope drop strategy. You've survived the summer heat. You've waited in line for 90 minutes for a 3-minute ride.

You love Disney. But you're ready for something different.

That's exactly where Disney Cruise Line comes in.

Same beloved characters. Same incredible Disney service and attention to detail. Same magic your family has come to love.

But instead of a packed theme park, you're on a beautiful ship sailing to the Bahamas or the Caribbean.

No rope drop. No FastPass strategy. No midday meltdown in 95-degree heat.

The kids still get to meet Mickey. You get a deck chair and an ocean view.

Disney Cruise Line is one of those travel experiences that surprises people. Families who think they've outgrown the parks discover a whole new side of Disney — one that actually feels relaxing.

If that sounds like your family, I'd love to help you plan it.
DM me and let's talk through what a Disney cruise could look like for you.
