My Specialties
Plan the Cruise Vacation of a Lifetime
Are you dreaming of flawless beaches and a picturesque paradise, highlighted by the glow of the sun as it dips below the Caribbean horizon? Perhaps you’d rather awaken before dawn and greet the day with the sun as it peeks out over a glacier in Alaska. Or maybe your paradise is a cobblestone city square surrounded by beautiful buildings – a view sure to be best enjoyed from a nearby café.
I can help you find the cruise that fits your budget and is perfectly tailored to your wishes. There are several cruise lines and ships to choose from whether you’re looking for family fun, non-stop adventure, or the luxury of the finest cuisine and onboard entertainment.
Whether your heart is set on the river or the ocean, I’ll arrange your cruise, pre- or post-cruise accommodations, shore excursions, and air travel so your vacation will be smooth sailing.
Enjoy the Best of Life
If you’re looking to plan a stress-free and relaxing vacation, staying at an all-inclusive resort tops the list. At these resorts, your accommodations, food, drinks, activities, entertainment, and more are all included in your package rate. This means that from the moment you arrive on the resort property, you can indulge in all that your amazing vacation experience has to offer.
Countless Options for Every Vacation Style
Whether you’re looking for the luxury of an adults-only property or a family-friendly resort with endless options for fun, there are plenty of resorts to choose from. Let’s discuss what is on your resort wish list, and I will play matchmaker to help pair you with the perfect resort for your next vacation.
Family Fun for Everyone
Imagine getting away with your family without the stress of trying to plan everything. Whether you have toddlers or teenagers, I can help direct you to the best destination, resort, or cruise that fits your budget and your needs.
Want to set sail on a cruise to the Caribbean? I can match you up with the cruise line that has the best amenities and activities for children of all ages.
Interested in sharing the cultural experience of Europe? I’ll coordinate all your travel needs including transportation, accommodations, and activities so you can focus on all the incredible sights you’ll see and food you’ll taste!
Prefer to lounge poolside watching your children splashing in the water? I can help you choose a resort that matches your family’s fun factor and provides memories to reflect on for years to come.
Traveling with a Group Multiplies the Fun
If you are considering group travel for a wedding, meeting, reunion, association, or a social event, you want to be sure you are planning that trip with a travel professional.
There are many working parts to group travel. I will be your partner and advocate during the planning, booking, and completion of your trip. I will recommend the best group option for you and your group, manage the details, and ensure a stress-free experience for you and your guests.
Celebrate Love on Your Next Getaway
Write the next chapter in your love story with a memorable honeymoon, destination wedding, vow renewal, or anniversary trip! Or, vacation with your favorite people before your wedding day on a fun bachelor/bachelorette getaway. When you’re planning a romance-inspired vacation, you’ll want an expert in your corner to make sure every detail is exactly as you imagined.
Honeymoons: Whether your style is candlelight dinners on the beach or morning strolls through cobblestone streets, we can craft a honeymoon that is the perfect first chapter in the new book you’re writing together.
Destination Weddings: Get married away and spend more time with the people you love while enjoying your wedding celebration. Assist with the details, but leave the planning to the pros so you can focus on your beloved, your family, and your friends.
Anniversaries: Honor the milestones in your relationship by traveling to a paradise far from home where you can escape the mundane and focus on one another.
