Tropical Weddings
Once-in-a-Lifetime Trips
Tropical Weddings
When I started in travel over a decade ago, destination weddings were just becoming popular. They allowed couples to celebrate their love for each other in beautiful tropical settings often at a fraction of the cost of a wedding at home. I have planned many Tropical All-Inclusive Weddings since then throughout the Caribbean and Mexico.
I am here to help you understand your options, assist with your planning, and to help book the different parts of your special event and group travel.
My Top 3 Trip Styles:
River Cruises
Disney Vacations
River Cruises
I experienced river cruising for the first time in 2013 with AmaWaterways on one of their special Wine Itineraries and since then I have sailed on the Danube, Rhine and Mekong. I love helping others find their love for river cruising!
There is something truly special about visiting enchanting places by river.
I will answer your questions about the different lines, rivers, explain the added value with river cruising and help quote & book your next great adventure.
Ocean Cruises
Disney Vacations
River Cruises
I had the pleasure of sailing for the first time in the '90s and since then have explored our amazing world by the ocean.
I have completed training with all major cruise lines and have sailed on over 20 cruises over the years. I experienced everything from Crystals luxurious yacht the Esprit to Royal Caribbeans mega-ships, the Harmony of the Seas, from an inside stateroom on the Disney Wonder to the luxurious two-bedroom family suite on NCL's Haven Club.
I will answer your questions about the different lines, stateroom categories, itineraries, explain the added value with ocean cruising and help quote & book your next cruise!
Disney Vacations
Disney Vacations
Disney Vacations
Disney's ability to really bring the story that they are telling to life inspired me to open my travel business. I loved my Disney Vacations so much, I wanted others to experience them too but knew how overwhelming they can be when planning by yourself, not to mention it is so much FUN to talk Disney everyday!
From the moment I saw Cinderella's Castle at the age of 11, I became Disney obsessed. Since then I've been to all the Disney themeparks in North America and even visited Euro-Disney in France, I have experienced the culture of Hawaii at Disney's amazing Aulani Resort, sailed some fantastic itineraries on Disney's Cruise Ships, had the wonder of going to some of Disney's Broadway Shows in New York, and even had the absolute pleasure of a trip-of-a-lifetime with Adventures By Disney. It was by far the best travel experience I had to date.
I am here to bring simplicity to your Disney Vacation experience, answer your questions and help quote & book!
