I did a thing… and this one is extra special 🖤

I finalized all the details for my next cruise! This September I’ll be sailing on the BRAND NEW Disney Destiny with my daughter for a Halloween on the High Seas sailing 🎃

New ship energy. Halloween Disney magic. And a mother/daughter trip at sea ⚓️

I cannot wait to bring you along for this one 👀 I am so excited for dinner at Pride Lands and checking out the Haunted Mansion bar!

If you’re looking at cruises for your family, Disney Cruise Line is truly one of the best options out there. Send me a DM to start planning your trip!

I know a lot of people who have this trip on their bucket lists! 😍

🎉 Congratulations to this family who will be celebrating at Disneyland this fall! 🏰✨

Their countdown is officially on—120 days until their very first Disneyland trip!

Most people know me for Disney World vacations, but I help plan Disneyland trips too—and honestly, Disneyland has a special place in my heart. One of the things I love most is that it tends to be a little simpler and requires less pre-planning. The parks are right across from each other, making it much easier to navigate and enjoy without spending so much time on transportation and logistics.

Don’t get me wrong—there’s still planning involved—but for many families, Disneyland can feel a bit more relaxed while still delivering plenty of Disney magic.

I’m excited for this family to experience all the attractions, entertainment, food, and memories that make Disneyland so special. ❤️

Thinking about Disneyland for your own family? I’d be happy to help you compare options, answer questions, and put together a plan that fits your budget and travel style.

Hello 🌶️ readers!!

Thought about Book Club at Sea in the past? Or bummed you didn’t get to meet Luna last week on our 2026 cruise?!

Well we’ve got more amazing news—Luna Mason is now joining us on our Alaska sailing in 2027!

So Sadie Kincaid and Luna Mason + a dream trip in Alaska ✅

Want all the details—send me a DM!

✨ Where Have I Been? ✨

First, thank you! I’ve welcomed quite a few new followers lately, so I wanted to pop in, say hello, and share a little update on what I’ve been up to behind the scenes.

May was one of my best months ever in travel sales, and I was honored to finish #5 in my agency’s Top Agents Sales for the month! 🎉 None of that happens without the incredible clients who trust me with their vacations, so thank you for your support, referrals, and bookings.

🎉 Client note: If you have a trip already booked with me, be sure to check your email from earlier this month for a special birthday giveaway I sent out—you won’t want to miss it!

On the travel side, it’s been busy!

🌎 I recently visited Epic Universe and came away seriously impressed. Universal has a few things that might even give Disney a run for its money. I’ll share more thoughts on that soon!

🚢 I also just wrapped up my third sailing on Utopia of the Seas and our second Book Club at Sea cruise, and it was absolutely amazing. The authors, readers, events, and community made it such a special experience.

Looking ahead:
📚 Book Club at Sea Alaska (7-night sailing)
🗓 Departs July 25, 2027 — still open for booking!

🇮🇹🇬🇷 We also officially announced our Summer 2028 Mediterranean Book Club at Sea sailing featuring Sadie Kincaid and Luna Mason and I couldn’t be more excited.

If you’d like information on either sailing, send me a message!

And one more thing…

Did you know you can support my small business even if you’re planning parts of your trip yourself?

If you’re booking excursions, tours, or activities through Viator this summer, consider using my affiliate link (I’ll drop it in the comments). Many travelers already use Viator—especially when taking advantage of credit card travel perks—and right now you can save 10% through July 3, 2026 with code SUMMERSAVE10.

Whether you’re booking a cruise, Disney vacation, all-inclusive getaway, Europe trip, or just need help figuring out where to go next, I’d love to help.

We just got back from Book Club at Sea with Sadie Kincaid and Luna Mason, and what an incredible week it was!

Now the countdown to Alaska 2027 is officially on: 415 days! 🛳️❄️ There’s still time to secure your spot if you’d like to join us for this unforgettable adventure.

And while we were onboard, we got some exciting news…

Book Club at Sea 2028 will be with Sadie and Luna AGAIN — this time on a Mediterranean cruise! 🌊🇮🇹

As soon as I heard the announcement, I knew I had to be there. I visited Italy when I was 20, and what better way to celebrate turning 40 than returning with an amazing group of readers, authors, and friends?

Details and itinerary information for 2028 are still to come, but if you’d like first access when they’re released, send me a message and I’ll add you to the interest list!

Love getting messages from clients during their travels! ❤️

June is a busy month in my books. Not only am I traveling, but I have so many clients kicking off their summer getaways this month.

One checked in today, and it looks like they’re already loving it! ☀️🌴

This is why I do what I do. Seeing my clients making memories, relaxing, and enjoying the trips we’ve planned together is the absolute best part of this job.

Ready to book your own getaway? Send me a message today—I’d love to help you plan it.

Getting these messages never gets old.

Out of Office… but make it ✨travel agent edition✨✈️

I’ll be away from 5/30–6/5 as I travel with my agency and clients for our Book Club at Sea sailing on the stunning Utopia of the Seas 🚢📚

But first… I’ll be kicking things off with a little extra magic ✨—heading back to Universal Orlando for the first time in years to explore the all-new Epic Universe 🎢🌍

I will respond as I am able while I’m away, but due to travel my replies may be a bit slower than usual. I promise I will get back to you as soon as I can 💌
