If you haven’t experienced Yellowstone in the winter, you’re really missing out. We just returned from the best trip. We did a sleigh ride in an elk refuge, snow coach to old faithful, snow coach to the canyons, dog sledding, animal safari and saw almost every animal possible to see this time of year. Such a beautiful area! Message me for a guided trip or an independent itinerary.

We just returned from a stay at Secrets & Dreams Playa Esmeralda in the Dominican✨. This is a brand new property on a gorgeous beach that you can walk for miles and miles. 🌴The properties are connected so as an adult you can use both. The Dreams property has a great water park for older kids or a smaller area for littles. These properties are perfect for multi-generation trips. Think Christmas gifts, grandma! 🎁 🎄 Send me an email for a quote today!

Amazing trip to say the least! If you have a little into Princess or Marvel, this is the cruise line for you! It blew us away. So many interactions with characters. The service was top notch. We did the Very Merrytime sailing and it was gorgeous. Send me a message for quotes for your family. It would make the perfect Christmas gift! ✨🎄

So many great things to say about this resort! 😍 Aside from its stunning water & beach, this has the best kids program of anywhere. We had a ton of rain so it gave our daughter something to do every day. It’s a Sesame Street program so she met a ton of the characters & there’s a Sesame Street show every night. It’s all inclusive and there’s no tipping allowed unless you’re in a butler suite or have a spa service. They have homes as big as 4 bedroom! There’s a water park, arcade & froyo shop. 21 restaurants to choose from. Diving is all inclusive here and if you’re not certified, they can do that on property. With each stay they do a glass bottom boat ride as well.

We stayed in the Key West Village, One Bedroom Concierge Suite. 🏝️

This a very unique way to see the Panama Canal. Most people think the only way is by cruise ship but you can fly into Panama and do a transit tour. My family did a half transit which is 25 miles and we crossed 2 different locks with 3 different elevation changes. The Miraflores Locks and the Pedro Miguel locks.
