Making Memories Travel

03/17/2024

Sometimes I have to remember to share a glimpse of some of the breathtaking places I am sending clients to. Recently I have been planning trips that allow my clients to experience one of my favorite hidden gems. Ambergris Cay in Turks and Caicos is a private island, all-inclusive resort with 17 beachfront bungalows with private pools (7 of which opened this month) set upon the most pristine beach you could ever imagine.
With your own island host (butler) to cater to your needs, a golf cart to explore the island, and a chef who will speak with you prior to your arrival to take care of your culinary needs.

Oh, I forgot to mention the private plane transfer that’s included from Provo to Ambergris Cay. When you step off a private plane, onto an exclusive private island and are greeted with a glass of champagne presented by the general manager you start to feel this vacation is going to be slightly memorable. Take a look at what your next vacation could look like.

I have had several inquiries as to whether I am still booking travel. The answer is YES! I know I haven’t posted in a long time, but that is because I have been busy planning amazing trips for clients. Something people don’t realize is that I don’t just book quick, all-inclusive resort trips. I spend much of my time creating custom itineraries for clients for the trip of their dreams.

To provide you an idea of what I can do, these are just a sampling of the trips I have planned recently:

*Italy with visits to Lake Como, Venice, Florence, Pisa, Rome, Sorrento during which they learned how to be a gladiator at the Colosseum, made Venetian masks, learned to make pasta, and made their own blown glass art pieces.

*Costa Rica to explore rainforests, volcanos, white water rafting, ziplining, and SLOTHS!

*A luxury cruise of the islands of French Polynesia as well as several nights in an overwater bungalow.

*South Africa for game tours, swimming with penguins, vineyards, and Cape Town

*Explore the Swiss Alps by rail

*National Parks trip to Grand Teton, Yellowstone, and Jackson Hole with tours of Yellowstone, sunrise/sunset wildlife tours, whitewater rafting, hiking, and even a rodeo!

*New Year’s in Paris including a New Year's Eve dinner cruise on the Seine

*Ultra luxury all-inclusive, adult only resorts in Turks and Caicos, St. Lucia, Antigua, and Grenada. I try to find unique resorts for clients instead of the mass-market chain resorts everyone visits.

*Iceland to view the Northern Lights, swim in the Blue Lagoon, and take an ATV ride onto a glacier

*Universal Studios Orlando

*School vacation family all inclusive vacations and cruises

If you have any travel needs or questions, I am happy to help.

The Friars are playing in the Baha Mar Hoops Bahamas Championship November 17 & 19, 2023. I put together travel packages for anyone interested in going.

Right now, depending on the vendor room prices alone are running close to the same price as my package pricing.

I do a lot of small group tours and independent, custom itineraries for clients who want to visit a variety of locations, but don't want to be on a tour with other people. You give an overview of what you want to visit/see along with a budget and I can put it together. You don't have to come to me with a $20K budget to do amazing things. Over the last 6 months I have planned trips for regular families to incredible locations such as:

✅A week visiting Jackson Hole, Cody, Yellowstone, Rapid City, Mount Rushmore. While there they went whitewater rafting, enjoyed a rodeo, stayed inside Yellowstone, went rock climbing, and so much more.

✅A trip to Costa Rica to see everything from volcanoes to monkeys. Visiting a variety of locations, such as La Fortuna/Arenal Volcano, Monteverde, Manuel Antonio, Tamarindo where you can see the cloud forest, volcano, waterfalls, hot springs. See and do things you would never do here: zipline through a rainforest, rappel down a waterfall, visit monkeys and sloths in their natural environment, go tubing down a river, cross the hanging bridges in the cloud forest, make coffee, and relax in natural hot springs.

✅The ultimate South African experience with a side trip to Victoria Falls. A family visited South Africa, explored Cape Town, went up table mountain, saw penguins, explored wine country and ferried to Robben Island where Nelson Mandela spent 18 years of his life in a cell with no bed or plumbing. Then they checked off some ultimate bucket list items:
✔️spent several days on safari game drives in Kruger National Park searching for the Big 5: lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, and buffalo and watching the sunrise over the reserve from a hot air balloon
✔️went to Victoria Falls and sat in Devil's Pool

✅Exploration of Scotland with stays in castles, small guest houses, riding the Harry Potter train, searching for Nessie, traversing underground vaults.

✅Christmas and New Year's in Paris with Christmas markets, food tours of Montmartre, visiting the Palace of Versailles, dining at the Michelin chef restaurant, and having the best hot chocolate in the world, ringing in the New Year with a dinner cruise on the Seine with the lights of the Eiffel Tower sparkling in the background.

And, remember, these are your friends and neighbors doing these things, not people who hit the lottery. Sometimes your dreams are more attainable than you realize!
