With Regent, every destination opens the door to something extraordinary.

One of my favorite things about Regent is that the cruise fare includes unlimited shore excursions, allowing you to experience each destination through iconic sights, local culture, and unforgettable experiences.

If you're looking for a truly all-inclusive cruise experience, Regent is one of the closest things you'll find at sea.

I'd love to help you explore the possibilities and find the right itinerary for your next adventure.

A World Cup trip is about so much more than just the match.

It's the energy in the host cities, the fans from around the world, the atmosphere before kickoff, and the memories you'll be talking about for years.

And if you're thinking you've missed your chance to plan one, it's not too late.

There are still custom travel packages available across all 16 host cities, with options that can include premium hotels, match-day transportation, and all the details that make the experience seamless.

If the World Cup is on your bucket list, I'd love to help you make it a reality.

If you've ever dreamed of visiting Europe's Christmas markets, a river cruise is one of my favorite ways to do it.

You unpack once and wake up in a new festive city almost every day. Think twinkling lights, mulled wine, handmade ornaments, Christmas music drifting through historic town squares, and some of the most magical scenery you'll find anywhere in Europe.

I've experienced Christmas market cruises firsthand, and these are some of the first sailings to sell out each year.

There is already limited availability on many 2026 departures, making this the ideal time to start planning for 2027.

If a Christmas market river cruise is on your list, I'd love to help you find the right itinerary and secure the best options before they're gone.

As a river cruise specialist, I love helping travelers understand that not all Nile River journeys are the same. AmaWaterways and Uniworld both offer incredible ways to experience Egypt, but the best choice depends on your travel style, priorities, and the kind of experience you want on and off the ship.

If Egypt is on your bucket list, I can help you compare the details and choose the river cruise that fits you best.

Looking for a fun family weekend getaway that's a little closer to home?

The new Universal Kids Resort opens July 1 in Frisco, Texas, just about 3.5 hours from the Tulsa area.

Designed specifically with younger kids in mind, it's an easy option for families looking for a quick getaway without flights, long travel days, or a week away from home.

I have all the details and would be happy to help you plan a fun weekend adventure.

Imagine saying “I do” with the ocean as your backdrop at Sandals Royal Curaçao.

I’ve spent time with the resort management and wedding team personally, toured the venues, and experienced the details that make weddings here so special. I have even tasted the cake.

Planning a destination wedding should feel exciting, not stressful. Knowing the Sandals process and having firsthand experience with the resort allows me to guide couples through it with confidence and ease.

If a wedding in Curaçao has been on your mind, I’d love to help you create something truly unforgettable.

If Ireland, Italy, Spain, Britain, or Iceland are on your travel list for 2027, now is a great time to start planning.

Right now, there are savings of $300–$600 per person on select guided tours and custom private driver vacations with CIE Tours.

Planning early gives you the best availability, more departure date options, and a much better chance at securing the itinerary you want.

If you’ve been thinking about Europe in 2027, I’d love to help you start planning.

The AmaStella Tulip Time sailings are truly one of the most beautiful ways to experience Europe.

Charming cities, colorful tulip fields, incredible food and wine, and the ease of unpacking once while the next destination comes to you. It’s easy to see why these sailings are so popular.

And they do book quickly every year.

If a river cruise is on your list, you want someone who knows the ins and outs of AmaWaterways, and I’d love to help you find the right fit.

Some Disney splurges are just expensive. Others genuinely make the trip smoother, easier, and more memorable.

These are a few that I personally think are actually worth it.

From Club Level at a Deluxe Resort to taking a Minnie Van after a long park day, sometimes the biggest luxury at Disney is simply making the experience less stressful.

If you’re planning a Disney vacation, I always help clients decide where to save and where spending a little more truly adds value to the trip.

Which Disney splurge would you try first?
