Dream Travel

I just returned from an unforgettable 2-week journey through the Netherlands, Belgium, and France! This wasn’t just a vacation—it was a hands-on learning experience to deepen my knowledge and better serve my amazing clients.

From cruising the charming canals of Amsterdam, to savoring chocolate and beer in Brussels, to exploring the rich history of Normandy and the incredible wine culture of Bordeaux—every stop was filled with insight, inspiration, and unforgettable moments.

As a travel agent, I believe the best way to plan meaningful trips is through personal experience. I can’t wait to share what I’ve learned and help you design a European adventure that’s truly unforgettable.

Let’s make your travel dreams a reality—Europe is calling!

I had SO MUCH interest in my last deal post that I decided to share another one with you!

While my job is to put together a fantastic vacation itineraries that fits my clients needs and wishlist...sometimes I do love to share a good travel deal as well. And this one is perfect for adults, families, friend groups, etc.

This is a NEW RESORT that just opened up a couple months ago in the beautiful and luxurious gated community of Cap Cana. This location is one that I often send my honeymooners and anniversary clients so when this family friendly resort opened I was thrilled.

Pricing is per person and includes 5 nights at a family friendly all inclusive resort in Cap Cana with nonstop flights from Chicago. There are a couple other February dates for this deal so if these dates don't work, let's find other ones.

This deal is only good until February 13th so email me today to get this deal booked for your last minute trip to paradise ☀️ [email protected]

Pricing and availability is subject to change.

One of the things I LOVE as a travel agent is getting to see pictures of my client's vacations! This group spent 6 days at the Riu Palace Costa Mujeres in Cancun. Here they are on a catamaran to Isla Mujeres for snorkeling.

"Shawn,
Thanks again for all of your help on this trip!
Everything went nearly perfect. We don’t have anything to compare to as this was our first All Inclusive, but Riu Palace worked out very well for our family.
I appreciate all you did to help make this trip possible for us."

It's my pleasure!

Speaking of cruises, I have clients departing today with their family on the Norwegian Epic out of Port Canaveral in Florida. They will be enjoying 7 days aboard this beautiful ship and have an AMAZING itinerary with stops at...

🏝️ Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic
🏝️ St. Thomas
🏝️ Tortola, BVI
🏝️ Great Stirrup Cay (Norwegian's privately owned island.)

Can't wait to hear about their trip when they get back! And if any difficulties were to arise during their trip, I will be right here to help them through it. Just one of the perks of using an agent!

Ever heard the term "Wave Season"? It's that time of year when cruise lines offer their best deals for the year, typically from January through March. The "wave" refers to the large number of cruise promotions that occur during this time.

Here are some tips for taking advantage of wave season...
🚢Book early: Cruise lines try to fill their ships as quickly as possible, so they offer the best deals to those who book early.
🚢Compare prices: Let me compare prices from at least three cruise lines to find the best deal.
🚢Know what you want: Be sure to have an idea of what type of itinerary you'd be interested in. Warm caribbean islands? Picturesque European coast? Wildlife sightings of Alaska? I can help you find the best cruise line and ship that meet your desires.

Wave season is similar to Black Friday or Cyber Monday for the cruise industry. It's a great time to book a cruise if you're planning to travel during a peak travel period, such as winter, spring break, or European summer. 🌊 Don't wait, give me a call today!

VERY EXCITED about this new resort in Aruba!

Aruba is known for their food culture and the government only allows so many All Inclusive resorts on the island as they prefer visitors to explore the island and the local restaurants.

This resort will have several restaurants on site but is a European Plan to encourage guests to venture out for unique food experiences.

This stunning new resort will feature 3 pools and one infinity pool, fully equipped fitness center and spa, and an 18 hole championship golf course.
