🙌 I’m headed to Travel Market 2026, where I’ll spend several days learning, networking and connecting with some of the biggest names in the travel industry.

A big part of the conference is an open travel market, where I’ll have the chance to meet and talk with representatives from cruise lines, tour companies, resorts, airlines and other travel partners. I’ll be stopping by, asking questions, exchanging business cards and hopefully putting some faces to the names of companies I work with every day.

✅ And yes, that matters when I’m planning your vacation.

The more relationships I build within the industry, the more resources I have when I need answers, recommendations or help solving a problem for a client. I’ll also be learning about new destinations, resorts, ships, tours and travel products so I can bring that information home and put it to work.

Basically, I’m going to learn a lot, talk to a LOT of people and build relationships that help me be a better travel advisor for you.

San Antonio, here I come! 🤠✈️

AI Trend Alert: Always ready for the next adventure, I’m equal parts travel-obsessed planner, problem-solver, and “I’ve got this” friend, usually fueled by coffee and already thinking three steps ahead. I love a great trip, a great laugh, and making sure the people around me get to enjoy the fun without worrying about all the details.

🇮🇹 But here's the thing about the Amalfi Coast: 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐈 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠.

𝐇𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐬 are small and the best locations book early. 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 takes some planning. And trying to squeeze 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐨, 𝐀𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐟𝐢, 𝐑𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨, 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐫𝐢 and everything else into a few days can turn a beautiful Italian vacation into an exhausting one.

The Amalfi Coast is a place to slow down a little.

Stay in the right location. Take the ferry to Capri. Spend some time in Ravello. Have a long lunch overlooking the Mediterranean. And don't feel like you need to see every town along the coast.

If the Amalfi Coast is on your list for 2027, now is a very good time to start planning.

I can help you figure out where to stay, how long to stay and the easiest way to put it all together.

𝐅𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞. The best resort rooms will disappear. Cruise choices will get smaller. And that perfect room for a family of five? Those are usually the first things I worry about.

You don't need every detail figured out right now.

You just need to know that you'd like to go.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐟𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐰 (𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭)

The blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has sent oil and jet fuel prices soaring, which airlines have passed directly onto ticket prices. Combined with Middle East airspace closures forcing longer routes and 9.3 million cut seats globally, reduced supply and higher fuel costs are driving the fare spikes travelers are seeing, especially internationally.

If you HAVE to fly, here's how to soften the blow:

✈️ Book now, don't wait for it to cool off. Experts have been blunt that waiting it out in hopes the conflict will end soon is riskier than betting fares will drop — once a ticket is purchased, it's locked in even if surcharges rise later, per most U.S. airlines that incorporate fuel costs directly into base fares without a separate labeled surcharge.

✈️ Use points/miles aggressively. Award charts haven't inflated as fast as cash fares — this is the year to burn miles instead of hoarding them.

✈️ Set fare alerts and stay flexible on dates. Tools like Google Flights, Hopper, or Going can catch dips within a route even during a broader upward trend.

✈️ Consider nearby airports and one-stop routings. Direct long-haul routes are burning the most extra fuel from Middle East detours — a connection can sometimes dodge the worst of the surcharge.

✈️ Watch for shorter booking windows working against you. With airlines cutting seats and international fares up double digits year-over-year, the "wait for a last-minute deal" strategy is far riskier than usual.

This isn't normal seasonal fluctuation — it's a geopolitical fuel shock. Budget accordingly. 🛫💸

Jet fuel costs doubled over the course of the Iran war, but other factors are behind the rising domestic travel costs.

🕰 𝐂𝐚𝐧'𝐭 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲? 𝐈 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩. 😉 I always recommend booking early because you'll usually get better pricing and more choices.

But I know that's not always possible. Work gets busy. Life happens. Sometimes you just aren't ready to book until the last minute.

If that's the case, don't worry. I can still help.

✔ I'll help you find the best options that are still available.
✔ I know where to look for legitimate last-minute opportunities.
✔ I'll save you the time and frustration of searching through hundreds of options yourself.

Last-minute travel can absolutely work. It just takes a little more flexibility. Thinking about a quick getaway? I'd love to help.

💰When I’m comparing vacation options for my clients, I’m looking at a lot more than the number at the bottom of the quote.

👎🏻What’s included? What will you pay extra for once you get there? Think airport transfers, meals, excursions, resort fees, gratuities and transportation.
Even your hotel location can affect the final cost. Saving $200 on a hotel doesn’t feel like much of a deal if you spend it all on taxis getting where you actually
want to be.

❎Nobody wants to spend more than they need to. But I also don’t want my clients choosing something simply because it’s the cheapest option.

A big part of my job is finding the best value for your budget. Sometimes that’s a guided tour that includes transportation and sightseeing. Sometimes it’s an
all-inclusive resort where most of your vacation is already covered. And sometimes one cruise costs a little more upfront but includes things you’d pay extra for on another.

I’m looking at the whole vacation, not just the starting price.

Because the best deal isn’t necessarily the cheapest trip. 𝑰𝒕’𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒑 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒚 𝒚𝒐𝒖’𝒓𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈.

For 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆, I'm thinking about the trips that bring generations together.

🛳 An Alaska cruise with Grandma and Grandpa.
🇮🇹 A family trip through Italy.
☀ A Caribbean cruise where everyone can do their own thing during the day and meet back up for dinner.

Multigenerational trips can be some of the best vacations, but they also take a little more planning. Different ages, activity levels, room needs and travel styles all have to work together.

That's where I come in. If you've been saying, “We really should take that trip with Mom and Dad,” maybe this is the year to start planning it.

A client comes back because they know I understand how they like to travel, what they value and what works for them.

That’s what I want. Not just to book one vacation for you, but to be the person you call when you’re ready for the next one. ❤️
