I know I haven't posted much about this opening, but if you have younger kids, it's definitely worth considering!

If my kids were younger, I'd absolutely plan a trip to Texas around this. Start or end your vacation with a visit to Universal Kids, then spend a few days exploring some of the other great attractions Texas has to offer. I've actually planned trips like this before, and it makes for a fantastic family getaway.

If you're interested, reach out for a quote, I'd be happy to help you plan both your Universal Kids visit and the rest of your Texas adventure! ✈️🎢☀️

BIG NEWS FOR FAMILIES

Day 2 in England was another busy and amazing one! 🇬🇧✨

We started bright and early at the Tower of London to beat the crowds, and it worked perfectly! After exploring the tower, we walked across the iconic Tower Bridge and made our way to Borough Market, where we sampled SO many delicious treats (definitely not all pictured 😋).

After a little rest back at The Clermont and taking in more sights along the way, we headed back out to enjoy the beautiful Victoria Embankment Gardens before grabbing dinner at a cozy pub. 🍻

We wrapped up the evening back at the hotel to get ready for our trip to Oxford the next day, and an early morning for Buckingham Palace and Changing of the Guard! Surprise to come with that! 👑❤️

We had an amazing first day in London - so many incredible sights and LOTS of steps! 🇬🇧✨ Looking forward to soaking up every minute of our last full day in the city! ❤️

✈️ England bound!

I’ll be heading to England tonight and cannot wait for another adventure! One of my favorite parts of being a travel advisor is experiencing destinations myself so I can better help my clients plan their own trips. My last trip to England was a while ago so I can't wait to see what has changed and all the classics that haven't!

I'll also be with my family so I'll be checking out some great gluten free options as well!

I’ll be sharing:
✨ Travel tips
✨ Airport/travel day updates
✨ Hotel stays
✨ Food finds
✨ Must-see spots
✨ And behind-the-scenes travel moments throughout the trip!

✈️Travel Tip from My England Prep! ✈️

As I’m getting ready to leave for England this week, I’m going through all my travel checklists, and here’s one of the most important travel tips I can share:

📸 ALWAYS make copies of your passport before international travel.

I recommend:
✔️ A paper copy packed separately
✔️ A photo saved on your phone
✔️ A digital copy emailed to yourself

Hopefully you never need it, but if your passport is lost or stolen while traveling, having copies can save you a lot of stress.

Now tell me… what’s YOUR must-do before a big trip? 👇

Teacher Appreciation Week AND Travel Advisor Appreciation Month… and I get to be both 💙✈️

By day, I’m in the classroom helping my students grow.
By night (and weekends… and early mornings), I’m helping families plan memories they’ll never forget.

Both roles fill my cup in completely different ways—but at the heart of it, it’s all about caring for people, guiding them, and helping them succeed (whether that’s in school or on vacation!).

To my fellow teachers and travel advisors—you are appreciated more than you know! 💫

POV: You’re standing on the beach, listening to the waves… and suddenly you’re wondering, “How much would it cost to just live here?” 🌴☀️

That feeling? It’s real. And the best part is, you don’t have to move here to experience it. At Sandals Resorts, everything is taken care of: gourmet dining, premium drinks, stunning beaches, and those unforgettable views… all included. 💙

All you have to do is show up and soak it in.
