Time To Get Away With Sandy

Time To Get Away With Sandy Your travel dreams with the attention they deserve. Because your travel should be as unique as you are.

Personalized travel planning built around you-with thoughtful details, expert guidance, and experiences tailored to the way you love to travel. Married aboard a cruise ship on July 14, 1996, I’ve spent nearly three decades traveling the world with my favorite co-adventurer and family. That experience sparked not only a love for exploring new destinations, but also a passion for the planning and de

tail that goes into exploring and enjoying new places-and, now I get to help others do the same. With a Bachelor of Science in Marketing and a minor in Business Administration, I’ve worn a few hats over the years—staff accountant, marketing specialist, and most recently, executive assistant. In every role, I’ve been drawn to organization, careful attention to details, and anticipating the needs of others—skills that serve me well as a full-time travel professional.

Would you like to canoe in scenery like this? 🛶🏔️

Lake Louise- it’s one of those places that is hard to put into words.

The turquoise water. The snow-capped peaks. And those iconic red canoes lined up along the shore.

I snapped this picture a few years ago while visiting Banff and the Canadian Rockies in the fall, and it's a destination I'd love to return to because there are so many ways to experience it.

🚗 By road - exploring Banff, Lake Louise, the Icefields Parkway and the incredible scenery along the way.

🚂 By rail - letting the scenery unfold outside your window aboard the Rocky Mountaineer.

🏔️ With a combination of both - spending time in the Rockies and then experiencing the landscape by train.

🛶 Actively - hiking, canoeing and getting out into the mountains.

Or simply slowing down - enjoying beautiful accommodations, incredible scenery and letting someone else handle the details.

That's one of the things I love about travel planning. The destination may be the same, but the experience can be completely different depending on how you want to travel.

The Canadian Rockies are calling. Would you choose road, rail, or a combination of both? Let's talk about it when you're ready.

Get out your Santa hat! 🎅

Believe it or not, it's already time to start planning for holiday memories.

One of the greatest gifts travel has given me is the chance to slow down, be present, and truly enjoy the moments that matter.

Sometimes those moments happen on a snowy mountain.
Sometimes they're on a quiet beach.
And sometimes they're simply watching the people you love take it all in.

The holidays have a way of reminding us that time together is one of life's greatest gifts.

If you're dreaming about making this holiday season a little different, a little more meaningful, now is a wonderful time to start planning.

I'm here when you're ready. ❤️ [email protected]

Travel is remembered by the moments that make you stop and say, "Wow!"

Sometimes it's a breathtaking view. Sometimes it's meeting wonderful people. And sometimes . . .It's a beautifully presented dinner that turns an ordinary evening into a memory you'll smile about long after you've returned home.

Those are the moments I hope every traveler experiences.

Not rushed. Not checked off a list. Just fully enjoyed. ❤️

I'm here when you're ready to plan the memories just waiting to be made.

Sometimes the best vacation memories aren't the ones you plan... they're the little moments that make you laugh.

Last fall, when we visited Virgin Voyages' Beach Club at Bimini, my husband's mission for the day was simple: drink out of a coconut. 🥥😂

For someone who's a serious engineering manager by day, it was so much fun watching him leave work behind, embrace vacation mode, and make finding that coconut his top priority.

Mission accomplished.

And the coconut? It couldn't have had a more fitting message... "Ship Happens."

Those are the moments I love most about travel. Not the perfect photos or packed itineraries, but the unexpected little memories that become the stories you tell long after you've unpacked. I love this memory from that day at Bimini!

Watching the people you love relax, laugh a little louder, and forget about deadlines—even for a few days—is one of the greatest gifts travel gives us.

What's one funny or unexpected travel memory that still makes you smile?

What a wonderful week it has been!

This week has been filled with helping clients turn their travel dreams into reality--planning romantic couples' escapes, unforgettable anniversary celebrations, fun-filled girls' getaways, and exciting adventures for a large groups of friends.

From the breathtaking scenery of Alaska to the white-sand beaches of Jamaica, the turquoise waters of Aruba and Bermuda, unforgettable Caribbean cruises, and the excitement of Las Vegas, it's been a joy creating vacations that my clients will remember for years to come.

I'm also thankful for the opportunity to connect with our community through my role as a CEO Partner, supporting local elementary students and encouraging them as they learn, grow, and dream about all the possibilities ahead. It's a privilege to be a small part of their journey.

Tuesday was a trip to Chattanooga for a ship inspection of the beautiful American Symphony by American Cruise Lines. What valuable time experiencing this amazing river cruise ship!

Add in valuable training to continue growing my knowledge and skills, and it's been one very full and rewarding week. A rainy day here means more training today.

I'm incredibly thankful for every client who trusts me with their vacations, every referral, every conversation, and every opportunity to serve both my clients and my community. I never take your confidence in me for granted.

Here's to creating unforgettable memories through travel, supporting our community, and embracing the opportunities each new week brings.

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend! ❤️✈️🌎

Have you ever caught yourself saying, "Wouldn't it be nice to skip all the holiday stress this year?" 🎄🍂

What if, instead of rushing from one obligation to the next, you spent the holidays watching America's beautiful rivers drift by, enjoying incredible meals, and simply relaxing?

One of the things I always pay close attention to during a ship inspection is how the public spaces feel. After all, this is where guests spend much of their time relaxing, dining, and enjoying the journey. I could literally imagine myself in the lounge or on my balcony sipping morning coffee as smalltown America is just waking up.

What impressed me most aboard American Cruise Lines was how welcoming everything felt. Instead of large crowds and bustling venues, the atmosphere is intimate and comfortable. Whether you're relaxing in a cozy lounge with panoramic river views, enjoying conversation with fellow travelers, or finding a quiet corner to unwind, every space invites you to slow down, savor the moment, and just breathe.

Dining is freshly prepared American cuisine that reflects the regions you're exploring, making every meal part of the destination itself. With open seating, there's no need to worry about assigned dining times or tables--simply sit down, enjoy a wonderful meal, and, if you'd like, meet fellow travelers who share your love of discovering America.

As I toured the ship, I kept thinking how perfect this would be for a Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's cruise. Imagine leaving the cooking, cleaning, and planning behind while someone else takes care of every detail, allowing you to focus on making memories instead of managing the holiday.

Would you ever consider trading holiday stress for river views? If so, let's talk about 2026 itineraries to do just that.

Have you ever considered seeing America . . . from the water?

Yesterday I had the privilege of touring one of American Cruise Lines' beautiful river ships, the American Symphony, and I can't wait to share what I learned over the coming days.

What makes this experience so unique?

🇺🇸 American-owned.
🇺🇸 American-built.

It's truly an all-inclusive experience that includes transfers, pre-cruise hotel, meals, beverages, shore excursions, port fees, taxes, and gratuities.

Solo space? Yep, that have that too!

These aren't ocean cruises sailing halfway around the world. They are thoughtfully designed journeys that showcase the beauty, history, culture, and small towns that make America so special.

Whether you're exploring the mighty Mississippi River, cruising the Columbia & Snake Rivers with an onboard historian bringing the story of Lewis and Clark to life, discovering New England's charming coastal towns, or sailing through Alaska's breathtaking Inside Passage, these itineraries let you experience our own country in an entirely different way.

Over the next week, I'll be taking you behind the scenes--from dining to the public spaces, onboard atmosphere, and the little details that make these cruises stand out.

Come aboard with me and see why American Cruise Lines is becoming one of the most unique and popular ways to discover America.
