🌴 Trip of the Week: Beaches Resorts

If you're looking for an all-inclusive family vacation where the kids have a great time and the adults actually get to relax too, Beaches belongs on your list.

What I love about Beaches is that it makes family travel easy without feeling like a compromise.

Beautiful beaches, pools, water activities, kids' and teens' programs (hello Sesame Street characters!), entertainment and plenty of food options are all included. Everyone can do their own thing, or you can spend the day together.

But which Beaches you choose matters.

🌴 Beaches Negril, Jamaica
Relaxed, beautiful and set along Jamaica's famous Seven Mile Beach. I love this one for families looking for a more laid-back Caribbean getaway.

🌴 Beaches Turks & Caicos
The choice for families who want the WOW factor. Gorgeous turquoise water, a huge waterpark and tons of activities make the resort itself the destination.

Who is it for? Families, multigenerational groups and anyone who wants an easy vacation where everyone can find their own kind of fun.

And this is where having a travel advisor helps. I can help you figure out which resort, room and destination actually makes sense for your family.

So... Jamaica or Turks & Caicos? 🌴

🎃 IT’S HERE.

Halloween Horror Nights 2026 officially opens TONIGHT at Universal Orlando Resort, and this year is a big one.

35 years of fear. 10 brand-new haunted houses. 4 new scare zones. Live shows. Specialty food. Exclusive merch. And plenty of nightmares waiting around every corner.👀

This year’s lineup includes Stranger Things 5, Sinners, Hellraiser, Ozzy Osbourne: Prince of Darkness, and more, plus the return of HHN icons Jack the Clown and Dr. Oddfellow.

And the event runs through November 1, with 49 select nights to get your scare on.

If Halloween Horror Nights has been sitting on your bucket list, this is your sign. 🎃

And if you're thinking about making a trip of it, staying at a Universal Orlando hotel can make the whole experience even easier, with convenient transportation and special HHN benefits.

35 years. 10 houses. One very good reason to plan a fall getaway.

Who's brave enough to go? 👻

🎄 Trip of the Week: Disney Cruise Line Very Merry Sailing

For the family who wants Christmas magic without having to plan every second of it.

Picture this:

You wake up on a Disney ship.
Christmas decorations everywhere.
Mickey waffles for breakfast.
The kids hanging out with new friends at the Oceaneer Club.
A run-in with Mickey dressed as a sailor.

And later? More holiday entertainment, characters, incredible food and that unmistakable Disney magic.

A Very Merrytime Sailing is such a fun way to celebrate the holidays without being home responsible for the cooking, cleaning and entertaining. 😂

Who is it for? Families who LOVE Christmas and want to make the holidays feel extra special.

I'm currently pricing this out for a family of four, and packages are starting around $[ADD PRICE].

I think this is the best way to kick off the holiday season. 🎄🚢

There's nothing I love more than watching a trip come together for someone — the excitement, the countdown, all of it. If you know someone who could use that kind of magic (and maybe a nudge to finally book), tag them below. Referrals genuinely make my day. 🥰

Can we stop saving Alaska for retirement? 😂

Because I really think Alaska is one of the BEST multigenerational family trips.
Grandparents can enjoy the scenery and wildlife.
Parents can explore, relax, eat well, and take in the views.
And the kids and teens? There is plenty to keep them busy too.
And you all get to experience one of those places that feels completely different from your everyday life.

That's exactly why I'm heading to Alaska with my family travel hat firmly on. 😉
I'll be sailing on Royal Caribbean's Quantum of the Seas on July 26, 2027, and I'm inviting my clients to sail with me.

If Alaska has been a “someday” trip for your family, maybe it's time to move it to the calendar.

Message me ALASKA and let's talk about it.

✈️ Trip of the Week: Paris

For the family who wants a little bit of everything.

Paris with kids? Absolutely.

I love Paris for families because you can spend the morning exploring a museum, stop for lunch at a café, wander through a beautiful park, grab a crêpe, and somehow still find yourselves saying, “Okay, what should we do next?”

And where you stay matters. I especially love the 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th arrondissements for first-time families because you can build your days around walkable neighborhoods, parks, cafés and major sights.

I've been to Paris several times, so this is one of those trips where I can help you choose the right neighborhood, not just the right hotel.

Who is it for? Families who want culture, food, exploring and a little bit of magic around every corner.

And yes, I will absolutely help you figure out where to eat. 🥐

Picture this: you’re at EPCOT on a fall afternoon. 🍂

You’ve spent the morning riding attractions, and now you’re wandering around World Showcase with no real agenda other than figuring out what you want to eat next.

Something from France. Then Japan. Then Mexico because… obviously. 😂

The kids have rides, characters and scavenger hunts. You get to slow down, try something new, enjoy a drink and take in that I’m really at Disney feeling.

That’s why I love EPCOT during Food & Wine.

And there’s still time to do it this year! It makes such a fun long weekend getaway, especially if you’re craving a little Disney magic without planning a full week.

If you're picturing yourself there, let’s talk. I can help you figure out when to go, where to stay and how to make the most of your time.

🚢 I’m going to Alaska. And I want you to come with me.

I've been wanting to experience Alaska for a while, and I finally decided it was time.

On July 26, 2027, I'll be boarding Royal Caribbean's Quantum of the Seas in Seattle for a week of glaciers, wildlife, incredible scenery, and some pretty unforgettable ports.

I’m opening this sailing up as a Sail With Me trip, and I would LOVE to have some of my clients onboard.

We'll fly into Seattle on July 25, stay overnight, and then board the ship the next day.

From there?
Sitka.
Skagway.
Dawes Glacier.
Juneau.
Victoria, British Columbia.
And then back to Seattle.

I've never been to Alaska, so I'm going to be sharing the planning, the research, and all the things I'm learning along the way.

Basically, you get to come along for the ride before we even board. 😉

Group cruise pricing starts at $2,084 per person.

If Alaska has been sitting on your family's bucket list, send me “ALASKA” and I'll send you the details.

Who's coming with me? 🚢

The biggest mistake I see families make at Disney? Trying to plan every single minute. 😅

It’s understandable. There’s SO much to know.

But I also see families:
🎢 Overplanning every day instead of leaving room to enjoy the magic
🏨 Choosing a resort that looks great online but isn’t the best fit for their family
📅 Missing important booking windows for dining, Lightning Lane, or other experiences
⏰ Spending vacation time figuring out what to do instead of actually enjoying it

This is where having a Disney travel advisor in your corner can make a huge difference.

I help you choose the right resort for your family, understand what actually needs to be booked and when, build a plan that makes sense for your trip, and then stay in your corner before and during your vacation.

You don't need to know every Disney rule, deadline, or strategy.

That's my job. ✨

Your job is to show up and enjoy the magic.

The ocean is calling... and apparently, so is Moana! 🌺🌊

With the new Moana movie now in theaters, I have to ask... is Moana anyone else's kids' absolute favorite Disney character?

One of my favorite things about Disney vacations is that you don't have to leave the magic behind when the movie ends. You can meet Moana at:

✨ Aulani Resort in Hawaii (pictured here with my family!)
✨ Disneyland Resort in California
✨ Walt Disney World Resort in Florida

And trust me, meeting her in person is just as magical as you'd imagine. She's adventurous, kind, and always ready to inspire little voyagers to follow their own path.

So tell me... where would your family want to meet Moana? Hawaii, California, or Florida?
