Sometimes even the travel advisor has to cancel their trip 🥺

This week, I was supposed to be in Cancun attending Ascend, an exclusive travel industry event hosted by ALG Vacations. I was fortunate enough to receive an invitation based on my sales performance, and I was SO excited to attend! I’ve been the top-producing all-inclusive travel advisor in my agency for two years in a row, and I was really looking forward to touring some new-to-me properties and finally meeting a few of my connections in person.

But sometimes life has other plans. And as much as I love what I do and the opportunities that come with it, being home with my family comes first.

I’m definitely disappointed to miss out, but I know I’m making the right decision. That doesn’t mean it’s not a little bittersweet!

And if there’s one travel-related takeaway from all of this, it’s that I’m especially grateful for cancel for any reason travel insurance right now. 😂

I’m usually the one cheering you on to take the trip, but right now I’m reminding myself that it’s also okay not to 💚

I figured instead of telling you what Adam is looking forward to, I’d let him tell you himself…

When Whitney asked me what I’m most excited about for our cruise, I realized my answer is really just what I like about cruising in general.

I like being able to pay for everything ahead of time, get onboard and basically turn my brain off for the week.

Our food and drinks are already accounted for, so I can eat in the MDR, have three Buffalo Trace Old Fashioneds every night, make full use of the drink package at the Beach Club and CocoCay, and not think twice about whether we’re spending money on things we don’t “need.”

Mostly, I’m looking forward to some well-deserved R&R with our family, hopefully not thinking about work, and enjoying some of the finest people watching the Caribbean has to offer.

For anyone wondering what Maren is most excited about for our cruise…

This.

The Coca-Cola Freestyle machine.

Forget the carousel. Forget the water slides. Forget the shows. Apparently unlimited access to a touch-screen soda machine is peak luxury when you’re six.

I am personally guilty of putting way too much thought into what our kids are going to enjoy, when 90% of the time it ends up being the simplest things.

I already know I’ll never forget watching her walk around with a death grip on that reusable Freestyle cup, absolutely BEAMING over whatever flavor combination she’s created next. 💚

We’ve officially kicked off our pre-vacation planning where we watch hours of YouTube videos to get us all excited and I think we’ve figured out what everyone is most excited about.

Greyson learned that the Ultimate Abyss on Wonder of the Seas is a 10 story dry slide that sends you straight into the mouth of a giant angler fish.

His favorite animal in the entire world is an angler fish.

So naturally, this is now the most important feature of the entire ship.

Maren, however, has a VERY different priority for this trip.

I’ll share hers next 🤣

If I posted just this photo, you’d probably assume it was an all-inclusive resort.

But this is actually Royal Caribbean’s private island, Perfect Day CocoCay, and we’re headed back soon!

I found some AWESOME pricing on Wonder of the Seas for a sailing that lines up perfectly with our kids’ fall break, so we decided… why not?! And I get to celebrate my birthday onboard again. 🥰

Now all I want for my birthday is for some friends to join us. 😂

Seriously though, if you’ve thought about trying a cruise but haven’t because you have no idea how any of it works… come with us!

You don’t have to figure out check-in, where to go at the port, what to do once you get onboard or what the heck a muster drill is. We’ll already be doing it, so just tag along!

My only rule: you HAVE to promise me you’ll fly in the day before. I’ve already found great pricing on flights, too. 😎

Spring Break is officially underway and I am living vicariously through so many of you right now!

I have clients currently on a Caribbean cruise and others at an all-inclusive resort in the Dominican Republic, with more heading out to Mexico, Palm Springs, Hawaii, San Diego, an Alaskan cruise, and Disneyland. Such a fun mix of trips!

Our family is keeping things local after a memorable trip to Walt Disney World over winter break, but I’m so thankful I get to be part of all of your vacations.

Whether you’re off exploring somewhere new or spending time doing your favorite things close to home, I hope you soak it all in and make all the memories.

Have the best Spring Break 💚

Traveling Soon!

The E family is heading out very soon on a split stay between Universal Orlando and Walt Disney World, and this trip is such a fun mix of high-energy thrills and laid-back Disney magic.

They’ll kick things off at Loews Portofino Bay Hotel, where this Harry Potter–loving crew will spend a few days bouncing between Epic Universe, Universal Studios Florida, and Islands of Adventure. Portals will be explored, Butterbeer will be consumed, and no spell will be left uncast.

After all that excitement, they’ll transfer over to Disney’s Beach Club Resort to slow things down a bit. Pool time at Stormalong Bay, the largest pool on Disney property, is high on the agenda before wrapping things up with a day at Magic Kingdom.

As a family of five, both Universal and Disney do a fantastic job with accommodations, which makes trips like this not only possible, but really enjoyable. I can’t wait to follow along as they experience the best of both worlds on one incredible vacation.

Just Booked!

K & L realized they had a little flexibility with their work schedules, looked at the very negative temps in our forecast, and said… we’re outta here ❄️✌️

They’re headed to Dreams Royal Beach in a Preferred Club room, flying NONSTOP out of Lansing and trading the frozen tundra for blue water and white sand in Punta Cana.

I kept their budget and travel style in mind to narrow in on a resort that gives them a little extra comfort, great amenities, and that easy, stress-free all-inclusive vibe.

If you’re staring at the forecast and thinking same, let’s talk. Even a little flexibility can open the door to a warm-weather escape.
Message me and let’s get you out of here!

This winter storm has really had a hold on most of the country this week, so I just wanted to check in and see how everyone’s doing. 🤍

As a mom to two school-aged kids, this past week was a lot. Working from home with kids 4 out of 5 days. Trying to come up with real meals when your energy is at zero. That lightning-fast grocery run because you definitely should’ve gone the week before. Shoveling piles of snow in temps that can only be described as rude. And that’s not even touching all the other stuff everyone’s carrying behind the scenes.

If this week felt heavy, you’re not alone.

Hope you’re staying warm, giving yourself some grace, and finding whatever balance you need right now. 🤍

(Pic of my kids plus their cousin who came over for a snowy playdate… Halloween masks included because why not 😅)
