Just a small taste of France😍 It's only been a few weeks... but I'm ready to go back!

A couple shout outs:
AmaWaterways- the best of the river cruises! There really is nothing like only unpacking once, knowing all your meals will be gourmet, and that all the highlights will be visited with a knowledgeable local guide. Manager Andreea, Chef Mario, and restaurant manager George definitely earned honorable mentions👌🏻
- The Hotel Duquesne earned its spot on my favorite hotels ever. I love a good small, boutique, and local stay! The staff was great, breakfast was awesome, the room and view were🤯 However, one of my favorite perks was the private spa. After a chilly day walking miles at Versailles, that huge jetted tub really hit the spot👌🏻
Stay tuned for some food reviews! 🥐👀

ATTENTION! This is not an April Fool's joke!!
Amawaterways just dropped what may potentially be the best deals I've seen from them. In addition to Complimentary Land Packages, they just announced $599 airfare! 😱 Living in the western US, this is a BIG deal. These deals are combinable, as are military discounts, loyalty savings, and more! If you've been wanting to try a river cruise, now is an excellent time to book it, and I've love to help you do it! I've personally been on this line twice now, and the experience is incredible! (Review on our most recent trip a couple weeks ago still to come- still trying to adjust to reality😅)

Has anyone else been watching the Olympics? Anyone else swooning over how beautiful the Dolomites are?! 🤩 If you want to see these beautiful mountains and the rest of Italy in person, I can help make that happen!

I love some good old fashioned theme park wars🤣 (If you hadn't heard, yesterday was Disney Animal Kingdom's last day for Dinoland🥲) Luckily you don't have to pick though, I can help you get a good package deal on Disney World or Universal, whatever floats your boat!

This is quite the article😅 But after seeing poor Juliet in Verona being violated firsthand, I concur lol.

(CNN) — The bigger the orchard, the more the bad apples. Close to five billion people were estimated to have traveled by air in 2025 — a record-breaking number — and plenty more tourists were also gadding about by boat, train or road. While most enjoyed their vacations without incident and pum...

Happy New Year!
Did you know that having a vacation to look forward to can drastically lower the risk of depression? It can also lower the risk of heart attack! This year, make a resolution to take care of your mental and physical health. Stop letting your PTO go to waste, and make some memories this year❤️🎉

Not Black Friday, or Cyber Monday... It's Travel Tuesday! (And also a sprinkle of Small Business Saturday😉)

Many travel suppliers have awesome deals this week- planes, trains, automobiles, and ships included! All the sales and deals can be overwhelming. I'd love to help you find your dream trip among them❤️

Have you ever seen that episode of Friends- the one where Monica and Chandler go on their honeymoon, but the couple in front of them keeps getting all the perks and freebies? Don't let that be you😂 I'm happy to be the person that asks for all the "extras" on your behalf, so you can be the couple in front on your special trip!
More people get engaged during the holidays than any other time of year. Whether it's a destination wedding, bachelor/ bachelorette party, or the honeymoon, I'd love to bring your visions to life!

It's happening!!! Ski/snowboard season is on its way! In addition to being able to book your lodging, I can also book multi mountain passes, like Icon and Epic👍🏻 If you hit the slopes a lot and like to change up the terrain, these passes are a great value! Here's a site that compares the two: https://www.epicorikon.com/passes/compare?p=epic-pass,ikon-pass,epic-local-pass,ikon-base-pass

Let me know if you're interested- sailings begin in April🌷
