I’m so excited that Azamara will be sailing the waters of Alaska in 2026! If you’ve been hesitant to do an Alaskan cruise because you didn’t want a big ship, this is perfect for you! There are only a few sailings and they will fill up fast, so contact me at [email protected] for more info!

This looks like an amazing trip! 59 days, 12 countries, 20+ iconic cities, on 7 of the world’s best luxury trains across 4 continents. Great for non-cruisers who want an around the world voyage. Departing September 3rd, 2025. Contact me for more info at [email protected].

Hiking Diamond Head was no joke today! A great workout, but rough, steep trails and a lot of stairs. Easy to take the Waikiki Trolley Green Line to get there.

Only a few extra inches, but much cheaper than first class. Delta’s Comfort Plus is worth a few extra dollars for the leg room.

A lot of special family trips in November. I love these and they make wonderful gifts for the holidays!

Pre or post cruise plans don’t have to be limited to the embarkation port. Take advantage of those long flights to see more of Europe. Trains and cheap flights between European countries make it easy. And I can help!

Your support and referrals have been so appreciated again this year.

Travel Tip Tuesday! I always recommend getting TSA pre-check, but holiday travel is so high this year, even the pre-check line can be long. It’s still usually faster and so worth it to not take off those shoes and pull out the electronic devices, but use the MyTSA app to see how long the wait is and head to the airport early. Nothing ruins a trip like missing your flight.
