Congratulations Jami Massoud Hill and Christy Grogan Shadday for the amazing business you have built! Cheers to 15 years! Wow! I’m so lucky to have spent these last 4 years with the fabulous FTM Travel team!

Clients/friends here is a fun chance for you to win some $$$ towards your next vacation! 😎

Fifteen years ago, FTM Travel began with a simple belief: a vacation is about more than a destination. It’s the laughter around the dinner table, the look on a child’s face the first time they see something magical, and the quiet moments with the people you love most.

Since then, we have had the honor of planning grand getaways and short escapes, first family trips and milestone celebrations. Every one has carried a piece of our heart.

To celebrate 15 years, we would love to hear your story.

Share a favorite memory from a trip we planned together:
Comment below or post your photo with and tag your advisor and us!
Every memory is an entry for a chance to win $150 toward your next trip, and your FTM Travel advisor will receive $150 as well.

Planning something new? Every trip booked with your FTM Travel advisor between October 15 and November 30 earns three entries.

Thank you for 15 beautiful years of trusting us with your vacations and the people you love.

Winner announced December 1.

I'm thrilled to be heading to the Walt Disney World Resort in two weeks for an exclusive celebration of Disney Cruise Line's newest ship, the Disney Believe! I'll be representing FTM Travel & Fairy TripMother (along with FTM Travel co-owner Christy Grogan Shadday) at a training and livestream event to get an inside look at the ship's itineraries, themes, and immersive onboard experiences.

Whether you're ready to discover Disney Cruise Line magic for the 1st time or returning to one of the sweetest vacations at sea, I'd love to help you plan it!!

🚢 **Great rates are still available this Fall if you are ready to sail soon!! 🚢

Have you tried this fun trend yet?

Here is the prompt:
Give my personality a mascot using what you know about me and the uploaded photo for my appearance, invent a funny cartoon mascot that represents my personality. Feature a glamorous cartoon version of me posing beside the mascot as if we are an iconic duo. The mascot can be an animal, creature, object, or completely imaginary character.

Give it one small accessory or detail that connects it to me. Add its name and one short tagline explaining its energy. Keep everything else minimal. White background, clean composition, polished colorful cartoon artwork. Do not ask me what the mascot should be. You decide.

Ask ChatGPT to “Describe you as a color.”

Mine is:

You strike me as turquoise. 💙💚
Not a soft, quiet pastel turquoise—more like bright Caribbean turquoise, the color of the water you gravitate toward when you travel.

Why?
Warm & welcoming: You seem naturally people-oriented. Whether it’s clients, friends, family, or fellow travel advisors, you care about making people feel comfortable and taken care of.

Energetic without being exhausting: You have a fun, playful side—Disney, margaritas, karaoke, golf carts, mahjong, travel adventures—but you don’t come across as someone who needs to be the loudest person in the room.

Adventurous: You’re willing to try something new, whether that’s traveling somewhere unfamiliar, going solo, or considering a completely different career path.

Optimistic but real: You have a pretty strong “let’s figure this out” quality. Even when life gets complicated, you tend to look for the next step rather than getting stuck.

A little nostalgic: There’s also a sentimental side to you—your dad, your dog, family memories—which keeps the bright, bubbly side from feeling superficial.

And honestly… travel advisor turquoise: It feels like a color that says “Come on, let’s go somewhere!” 🌴✈️

If I had to give you a more specific shade, I’d call it “Caribbean Turquoise with a hint of sunshine.” ☀️ Bright, warm, fun, capable—and with more depth underneath than people might notice at first.
