December 2025

Hi Reader, ✌🏽

Let’s be honest: does anyone really need another scented candle or a sweater that might not fit?

This December, Let's take a different approach to holiday giving. Instead of filling our homes with more "stuff," let’s fill our calendars with memories.

The best gifts aren't the ones that sit under the tree; they are the ones that you look forward to for months and remember for decades. Whether it’s a Disney vacation or a relaxing cruise, I'm encouraging you... don’t put a sweater in a box, put a boarding pass in their hand. We can create a "Trip Reveal" certificate to put under the tree, even if the trip isn't until next summer!

Some Recent Vacations I've Booked:

  • 7-Day Caribbean: Harvest Caye, Cozumel & Roatan with NCL
  • 7 Day Bahamas Cruise from New Orleans for a family of ELEVEN
  • 6 Day Disney Vacation to Art of Animation in the Cars Family Suites
  • 7 Day Eastern Caribbean on Caribbean Princess
  • Las Vegas Trip to The Sphere to See The Wizard of Oz
  • 7 Night Alaska Experience with Royal Caribbean
  • 5 Day Disney Vacation to All-Star Music for a Bachelorette Trip

I was accepted to participate in the Partners in Paradise event at Carnival's new private destination!

To make sure I’m always bringing you the best advice, I’m keeping my own suitcase handy. Here is what is on my calendar:

  • February: I’m heading to an exclusive travel-agent-only training at Celebration Key.
  • March: I’m hosting an organized group cruise departing from New Orleans. (Let me know if you want the details on that!)
  • April 2026: I’ll be attending the Cruise360 Conference in Fort Lauderdale. I'll get to do some continued-education, meet some new advisors, do ship inspections, and be a tourist for a few days.

I am here to be your advocate, your planner, and your trusted pro. Whether you are looking for a last-minute getaway or a 2027/2028 adventure, let's make it happen.

Wishing you a warm and wonderful holiday season!

November 2025 Hi new travel bestie, ✌🏽 I’m so excited to chat travel and cruises with you. I've always felt like each person has some desire to see more of this beautiful world.

It’s time we stop letting the excuses make travel seem like some far away or impossible dream that can only happen when: … have more money.… don’t have to work all the...
