🎆Turn This 4th of July Weekend Into Your Winter Vacation Planning Session

While you're gathered with friends and family this holiday weekend, there's no better time to start dreaming about your next adventure together. Winter travel might seem months away, but the magic of holiday destinations is calling – and smart planning now means better availability and pricing later.

❄️For the Snow Lovers: Picture yourself gliding down pristine slopes in a winter wonderland. Whistler's Village transforms into a twinkling Christmas card scene, complete with horse-drawn sleighs and cozy fireplaces. Park City's historic Main Street buzzes with holiday festivities, while world-class powder awaits. Or perhaps the legendary Swiss Alps are calling your name – envision yourself warming up with steaming Glühwein on a sun-drenched terrace in Zermatt, with views of the iconic Matterhorn's dramatic peak.

😎For the Sun Seekers:
Maybe your ideal winter escape involves trading snow boots for sandals. 🩴
Los Cabos offers the thrill of whale watching season, against a backdrop of desert mountains meeting the sea. Puerto Vallarta combines vibrant Mexican culture with pristine beaches and unforgettable sunsets. Grand Cayman's Seven Mile Beach beckons with some of the Caribbean's clearest waters, perfect for snorkeling and a visit to Stingray City. Or consider St. Lucia, where you can swim in warm turquoise waters while gazing up at the dramatic volcanic Pitons.🌋

💸The Investment in Memories: Yes, winter travel comes with premium pricing, but consider this: it's often the only time when everyone you care about has synchronized schedules. School breaks align with work holidays, creating rare opportunities for multi-generational adventures or friend group reunions that become the stories you'll tell for years to come.

🗣️Start the Conversation This Weekend: Use this 4th of July gathering to plant the seed. Share this vision with your group, gauge interest, and start the exciting process of choosing your winter destination. Early planning means better flight options, prime accommodation choices, and the ability to spread costs over several months.

Ready to turn those holiday dreams into reality? Send me a quick message, and let's start crafting your perfect winter escape.

Have you ever dreamed of visiting Alaska? If it's on your bucket list, now is the time to plan for summer 2026—availability fills quickly for this once-in-a-lifetime destination.

🌄In the summer, Alaska offers daylight for most of the day, with sunset golden lighting that lasts for hours, creating perfect conditions for photography and sightseeing. 📸

🛤️Did you know there are trains in Alaska that feature glass-dome cars with panoramic windows so you don't miss a moment of the spectacular scenery?

🛳️The number of cruise lines that travel to Alaska is plentiful, so if you're interested, let's find the perfect match for you! Are you looking for adults-only? Multi-generational family fun? I can help make this dream experience a reality and check it off your list.✅

🕰️Short on Time?🕰️
Do you dream of traveling but never find time to plan? Is your busy, ever-changing schedule keeping you from booking that perfect getaway?

Real-life example: Sunday evening call, booked by midnight, wheels up to Cabo Thursday morning.

Within 24 hours, my clients had a luxury resort reservation, anniversary amenities arranged, airport transfers coordinated, and excursions planned. They enjoyed a sophisticated, stress-free long weekend celebrating their milestone anniversary – all because they made one phone call.

The icing on the anniversary cake, I saved them more than $1000 off the direct rate. 🤑

Whether you're perpetually busy or simply prefer spontaneous adventures, I create exceptional travel experiences, even on short notice. Your perfect getaway is just one conversation away.

Let’s talk a little about quick, local vacations that you can do as a family, or relaxing retreat as a couple.

This has been a really popular request I have gotten this spring. Not everyone can take an extra 5-7 days for a long vacation in between all that summer gifts us. But 2-4 days… that can be more doable. Avoiding the price of airfare, hop in the car for 1-3 hours and it feel like you have a little escape. There are a lot of local gems that can easily be overlooked, but you know who is looking? I am! 🙋‍♀️

🌟First up, The Omni Barton Creek Resort is located about 35 minutes west of downtown Austin. A true retreat for families or couples (adult only pool please, ✅). Golfing on-site, good food and all with the backdrop of Texas Hill Country. This retreat won’t break the bank either!

🌟If you are looking for something sophisticated and new, try the Hotel Swaxen in Dallas. The name, Swaxen, comes from their vision of Swiss Hospitality with Texas Charm. The rooftop pool boasts 180 views of the Dallas skyline. The hotel has 5 intimate restaurants and bars, including the Michelin recommended, Stillwell’s Steakhouse and Bar.

🌟Just 10 minutes from the Galleria you will find a woodsy and luxury retreat, The Houstonian Hotel. The Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star hotel takes advantage of the lush, wooded surroundings by featuring not one but three pristine pool options, including one with a 32-foot slide. The Houstonian Hotel, Club & Spa defines Texas elegance, with a luxurious lodge-like setting. Set within 27 acres of woods, the hotel is secluded — definitely not what you might expect to find in Houston.

Looking for a weekend staycation? Let’s talk and I can help you find a standout gem where you live.

When it came time to decide which group would lead me in my Travel Advising journey, I had done a lot of research, I knew there was something different about LuxRally Travel.

🎓Last week graduation🎓
Today we are our way to Arkansas for college orientation. 🐗Thank goodness for a hot spot, and an 18 year-old behind the wheel, so I have still been able to work today.

In between updates for a cruise, Cancun and Lake Tahoe, I am always exploring new places and ideas.

Life as a Travel Advisor has taught me that the hotel you book can 100% add to the experience.

I love finding properties with standout features; this one, for example, has a glass conservatory ceiling, making star-gazing by night while relaxing in bed. 💫

Hotel 41 in London, located near Buckingham Palace and 5 minute -walk to Victoria’s Station.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐The highest rating by Forbes Travel Guide 5 Stars!

Hotel 41 evokes the charm of a private members’ club.

At the heart of the hotel, a historic lounge and dining room - exclusively for in-house guests - offers a refined retreat.

🍸A honesty bar runs all day (staff can help you mix a drink), afternoon tea is on offer, evening canapés are served, and the buffet switches to heartier fare — cheeses, cutlets, pies to name a few — by night in The Executive Lounge

An attentive team delivers a personal and exceptional service, where no request is too much trouble.

My services are complimentary and free, always. Share a destination with me, I’d love to find you a gem to enjoy while you travel.
