Well… we did a thing 🐋 🛳️

After years of booking Alaska cruises and land tours for our clients, Erica and I finally decided it was time to see what all the fuss is about for ourselves.

This July, we’re sailing Alaska aboard Virgin Voyages’ Brilliant Lady! 🐋

A few important facts:

✨ Erica has been to Alaska before. I have not.
✨ We are both ridiculously excited about whale watching.
✨ I love fishing and Erica has never been fishing.
✨ Erica has also threatened to show up dressed like the Gorton’s Fisherman, and honestly, I haven’t stopped laughing since she said it. If you see a woman wandering around Alaska in a yellow rain slicker looking like she’s about to sell frozen fish sticks, mind your business. 😂🎣

We’ll be sailing through the Inside Passage, visiting Sitka, Ketchikan, and Prince Rupert, and taking in all the glaciers, wildlife, and breathtaking scenery Alaska is famous for.

As travel advisors, we spend a lot of time helping our clients create amazing memories. This time is no different! But it’s also our turn to be adventurous and try something exciting and new!

Will we see whales? 🐋
Will Erica catch a salmon? 🎣
Will she actually commit to the Gorton’s Fisherman outfit? ⚓️

Stay tuned. Alaska is about to find out what happens when Magnolia meets Palm in the Last Frontier. 😆

This week was the perfect reminder that travel advising isn’t just about the booking.

📍Case in point: my clients delayed flight turned into a missed international connection, an overnight stay in Los Angeles, transfer changes in Tokyo, reservation adjustments, insurance considerations, and a complete reevaluation of the first day of a dream trip.

My clients shouldn’t have to figure all of that out while sitting in an airport. And they didn’t have to.

That’s my job.

And it’s one of the reasons I love what I do.

Several emails, calls, adjustments later… they are finally on their way to Tokyo and everything is set!

Luxury Myth #5:
Luxury Is About Things

The longer I work in travel, the more I realize that luxury has very little to do with things.

Luxury is a feeling.

It's feeling cared for.
It's feeling relaxed.
It's feeling excited instead of overwhelmed.
It's knowing you're exactly where you're supposed to be.
The most memorable trips aren't always the most expensive.
They're the ones that leave you saying,
"I wish I could do that all over again."

That's the kind of luxury I love helping my clients find.

Luxury Myth #4:
Luxury Looks the Same for Everyone

A luxury trip for one person might be a private yacht.
For someone else, it's a quiet boutique hotel with no schedule.
For a family, it may be connecting rooms, airport assistance, and knowing everything is arranged before they leave home.
Luxury isn't one-size-fits-all.
The best trips aren't the ones that impress other people.
They're the ones that feel perfect for the traveler experiencing them.

Luxury Myth #3:
Luxury Is Just About What You Buy

What if luxury isn't about what you spend...
What if it's about what you get back?

Time.

Time not spent standing in lines.
Time not spent stressing over logistics.
Time not spent wondering if you made the right choice.
One of the greatest luxuries in travel is simply being present because someone else handled the details.

Luxury Myth #2:
Luxury Has to Be Fancy

Luxury isn't always crystal chandeliers and white-glove service.
For some travelers, luxury is:
✔️ Sleeping in
✔️ Having nowhere to be
✔️ Watching the sunset with a glass of wine
✔️ Spending uninterrupted time with family
The most luxurious moments often aren't the most extravagant.
They're the moments that allow you to slow down and truly enjoy where you are.

Luxury Myth #1:
Luxury is expensive.

In reality, luxury is about value, comfort, and experience.
Sometimes luxury means a private transfer after a long flight.
Sometimes it's a room with a view you'll remember forever.
Sometimes it's having an expert handle every detail so you don't spend months researching.
Luxury isn't about showing off.
It's about creating an experience that feels worth it to you.

When you hear the word 'luxury', what comes to mind?🤔

Is it a private villa overlooking the ocean?
A butler and champagne?
Having every detail handled for you?
Or is it more like....
Having more time with the people you love?
Not having to worry about a thing?

Luxury means something different to everyone, and that's exactly why I love helping clients create travel experiences that fit their definition of luxury.

Tell me in the comments: What does luxury mean to you?

This question is where it all begins. Over the next several days, we'll unpack some of the biggest myths about luxury travel and explore why true luxury has far less to do with price tags than most people realize.

Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. 🇺🇸

Memorial Day is more than the unofficial start of summer — it’s a time to reflect with gratitude on those who gave everything in service to our country and the families who carry their legacy forward.

As we gather with loved ones, travel, and create memories this weekend, may we never forget the true meaning behind the day.

From all of us at Magnolia + Palm Travel Co., thank you to our fallen heroes. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten. ❤️

If you ask 10 people what their favorite color is, you’ll get 10 different answers for 10 different reasons. The same goes for travel. ✈️

It’s knowing which train tickets are worth upgrading and which aren’t.
Which Venice hotels have private docks. When a private transfer is worth every penny.
Which “perfect” itineraries are actually exhausting (and why).
Which locations only look convenient online.
Which reservations need to be locked in months ahead.

It’s the tiny details that can completely change a trip.

That knowledge didn’t come from TikTok or Google. It came from years of experience, education, firsthand travel, industry relationships, and investing my own time and money into learning what truly works.

This isn’t just a hobby for me.
It’s my career, my expertise, and my passion. 🤍

A great trip is more than a list of recommendations — it’s having someone who already knows the answers before you even know the questions to ask. 🇮🇹✨
