10/07/2026

It’s been awhile but since I was up early, dressed and looking presentable I thought I’d drop a photo.

This morning I got to step out of my office and attend a local chamber of commerce meeting. Even though we officially obtained a permanent address in Belmont County in 2024 and have been in the Ohio Valley area for about 6ish years, I’ve not had an opportunity to really get involved in the community here.

One of my favorite things with my past career was getting to be a part of the Chamber of Commerce events attending after hours and getting to network with other businesses and people in the community. I’ve met and built so many relationships with some of you through that experience. I’m a people person and love to be able to network and socialize.

But more than that I love to be able to give back to the community as well. Which is something I don’t really advertise or talk about. I do my best to provide sponsorships or donate to causes that align with my values when I’m able to do so:
I still do a monthly donation to my hometowns community center. I love the opportunities that they bring to the little community I grew up in.
I sponsor our local MC that does a lot for the community with fundraising and giving back to the local community here. Last year I also had the pleasure of being a sponsor and attending an event for another non-profit organization in Tuscarawas County.

Moving forward it’s my goal to be more active in the local community and find ways to give back where I’m at. If you know me, you know that I truly love being able to help where I can. Being a part of the local community and supporting others in the community is what it’s all about.

Thank you all for your continued support in this little business of mine that allows me to do these things ♥️

Now I’m off to create some more beautiful Journeys 🧳 🌎 ✈️

As a travel advisor I 💯 practice what I preach. I NEVER travel without a travel protection plan in place. I’ve seen way too many situations where having an extra layer of protection has more than paid off.

Delayed/canceled flights ✔️
Lost luggage ✔️
Trip interruption/family emergency ✔️
Injury/illness ✔️
And even death ✔️

Unfortunately all of these things happen. It’s better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

Sometimes it's all smooth sailing, sometimes it's multiple F bombs, lots of tears and texts to your colleagues about throwing your computer out the window and drinking instead.....
When a quote that normally takes 20 minutes turns into an hour or more and a simple 5 minute booking turns into an hour plus long phone call - the frustration is real.

VAX booking engine is my go to ( Apple, Funjet, United, Universal Studios, etc..) and honestly is the best when it comes to pricing and support for my clients. Their booking system has always been the best and easiest for me to work most efficiently but these past few weeks have been a struggle.

I’m working hard behind the scenes to get through my current list of quotes and lock in bookings! Things should be completely smoothed out soon, and I appreciate your patience more than you know. While I catch up, please keep sending your requests through my online form or directly to my business email. I truly appreciate your understanding and support!

🙋‍♀️What’s keeping me so busy that I had to pause new intakes ❓

I’ve been so busy between my own travel, clients departing & return and these groups that I haven’t even had a chance to share what I have going on. It’s no secret that I LOVE group travel - it’s definitely my passion. But I love it even more when I have the opportunity to curate the perfect itinerary for my clients. Currently I’ve had the opportunity to explore some new destinations as well as some more known to me.

Here’s where my groups are headed:

🎰 Las Vegas
A group of 20+ will be heading off to sin city for a 50th birthday celebration at the end of November. Complete with shows and a private birthday party

🎭 New Orleans
A group of travel agents are headed to New Orleans for a work convention and some team building activities in November.

🇹🇭 Phuket, Thailand
A group of friends will be celebrating their birthdays in January 2027 on the beautiful beaches of Phuket and exploring local sanctuaries and all the local culture and food they can take in.

🇩🇴 Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
A destination wedding in one of my favorite places. This couple will be celebrating their union in May 2027 with 100+ guests oceanfront at a beautiful all inclusive resort in Punta Cana.

I’m beyond thrilled to have the opportunity to be a small part in all these special events and I cannot wait to share final details with y’all.

Even though I’m on a slight pause currently, I will soon be opening my books for limited groups in 2027. Feel free to submit an inquiry form to get on list and I will reach out as soon as Im able

Running a little late on this review but,

let’s talk Bleu’s perspective of Riu Palace Macao 👇

So this was my first adults-only resort which honestly turned out to be my favorite vacation thus far. Certainly not in the comfort aspect but the vibes did not let down.

If you love to party and prioritize a good time over luxury, I would definitely say that this resort offers exactly that. The entertainment was endless and I couldn’t name a moment where I wasn’t having fun.

Believe me when I say that the nightlife at Macao did notttt disappoint. From the Sports Bar being open 24/7 to the late night Discotheque, as well as the infamous RiuParty themed pool parties throughout the week. The vibes were a consistent 10/10.

Another highlight of this trip was being able to access multiple surrounding Riu resorts and the property. The waterpark, which I sadly have no images of, was surprisingly bigger than I expected and has several slides. That was honestly also a 10/10 experience.

Now I sadly did not get to try every restaurant so overall the food was honestly mediocre. Don’t get me wrong we still enjoyed it and made the most of the buffet options. The Sports Bar even provided constant food which was perfect after a late night, which for us was every night.

I did also like how there were several pools at this resort. The only con was that they felt like bath water but that does come with the heat. Still relaxing and the swim up bar is always a plus.

The beach, that I also did not photograph, was slightly disappointing though only because of the sargassum. I normally love the ocean but I hate unknown substances so I sat that one out.

Generally, I would definitely go back here again for a group trip. It’s a quick drive from the airport which is convenient. Like I said, this resort is definitely more party based rather than comfort and or luxury. Which is expected for Riu but I certainly wouldn’t not recommend it!

I’m officially home and back in the office today. I’m excited to get back to it but also sad to not have a mimosa and breakfast waiting on me this morning - the struggle is real 😂

While I was out, I received an extensive amount of quote requests, emails and texts. Please know that I will work through them as quickly as I can.

This week is also lease signing and moving my girl into her college apartment so I am working with limited in office hours. Please bear with me just a little while longer.

I plan to work through in the following order:
Clients In destination
Clients traveling in the next 14 days
Existing quotes with approvals for travel
New inquiries with travel in the next 6 months

This summer has been jam packed with a lot for me and I truly appreciate everyone’s patience and support!
