3 days of training with my MMV family. 2 days of fun with my daughter. Hotel tours, classroom training, and in park learning to stay up to date with the latest on Universal Studios Orlando. 

My first trip on a Princess Cruise. We celebrated my husband's birthday and enjoyed exploring a cruise line we've never sailed before. 

Disneyland is one of my favorite vacation spots! Each year they have special nights set aside. This year they've had sweethearts' night for Valentines, Disney Channel Nite, Pride Nite, and Star Wars Nite. These are considered special event tickets. I loved seeing and learning what they do to make these nights extra special.

I've never been to Knotts Berry Farm in California. My daughter loves Snoopy so I added an extra day to the trip. This was a surprise birthday gift for her. She has been my travel buddy since graduating high school. 

I have been to Walt Disney World more times than I can count. This trip I tried new restaurants for more knowledge to give my clients. I went on a Starlight Safari through Animal Kingdom. 

I think this was trip #6 to NYC. We toured the Harry Potter: The Exhibition New York City. We went to my favorite, Ellen's Stardust Diner. It was a short 2 days in the city, but wonderful memories made. 

My first cruise with MSC on the Meraviglia. I can't wait until the Seascape comes to the Port of Galveston. The New England/Canada itinerary has become one of our favorite cruises. Ask me about all the ports we stopped at and the amazing excursions we chose. 

I was honored to attend 3 days of training for MMV at the Margaritaville Beach Resort Ambergris Caye, Belize. I learned more about Karisma Resorts while enjoying the beauty of Belize. 

My first Sandals experience and it was as wonderful as I could have imagined! We stayed in a butler suite with our own private pool. We were picked up and taken everywhere we needed to go on a mule by our butler. Our butler arranged every restaurant reservation and brought us room service. Our second day I took a tour of the entire property and became familiar with every room and learned about Sandals Halcyon and Grande St. Lucian. You are allowed to resort hop to all 3 resorts. They provide a shuttle. I can't wait for my next Sandals stay. 

Oh my goodness. Orlando has seen a lot of rain this fall. It poured during our party, but we still had a wonderful time. Delayed parade and fireworks, but Disney made sure we experienced both. This was my daughter's first MNSSHP. She loved it! I highly recommend Disney special events. 

I experienced the new Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Passes at all 4 parks. I love Disney's new system for skipping the long standby lines. It was super simple to use and the lines were significantly shorter. This was a busier September than past years, but definitely my favorite time of year for Walt Disney World!

The biggest thing I can say about Universal Studios is...Stay at a Premier Resort for the Unlimited Express Pass!! Our favorite ride is Gringotts. We would finish the ride and go right back into the express pass line. We rode Gringotts 3 or 4 times every single day. We had so much fun that we added a day to our trip. We didn't experience Halloween Horror Nights. My daughter can't stand being scared. I have heard many wonderful reviews though!

We stayed at Saratoga Springs before our back to back cruises. Everyone was hunkering down for a hurricane approaching Florida. We felt very safe staying at a Disney Resort. They went above and beyond to take care of guests. The storm changed it's path and we were fine. Prayers to everyone affected by the storms. It was a devastating hurricane and our hearts hurt for everyone. 

I really, really did not expect to like this ship. I LOVED it!! Yes, it felt big, but no it didn't feel crowded at all. I can't wait to go on it again and try things I didn't get around to on this trip. 

Celebrity is a fantastic cruise line. I would recommend this cruise ship for empty nesters and senior adults. If you have a younger family you must sail on the Celebrity Beyond. The food and service was excellent. 

Sandals Resorts...What can I stay? This brand is remarkable. The second you arrive and meet them, after baggage claim, they are there to help you. As soon as you arrive the all you can drink begins with a cocktail. You are then taken to your room by concierge. They are there to help answer any questions. You feel spoiled the entire stay. Curacao is also a very safe island. 

Did you know I can book any Sea World Vacation? We love going on Christmas Eve or New Years Eve. It is never crowded!

Are you a Disney fan? Do you love luxury hotels? We stayed at the Disneyland Hotel in a Castle Club Room. Talk about a magical vacation! I have booked Disneyland Paris twice now. Visiting a location always helps me to plan for others. 

It took me less than a month to throw together a European Vacation. I was able to book a hotel with a view of the Eiffel Tower. We visited Versailles and all of the must see in Paris. It was a perfect trip!

The one thing my daughter wanted to do in London was go see where the majority of Harry Potter was filmed. The Studio didn't have any tickets left. I found a tour to visit the Studio and Oxford. We loved it so much we told the tour bus to leave us so we could take an Uber back to the hotel. 

Have you been inside Buckingham Palace? I have! I found a tour of the East Wing of the Palace. Very limited time and space. We weren't allowed to take pictures. Walking into the room where the Royals walk out onto the outdoor balcony was amazing. Thinking of all of the special family event celebrations taking place in that room. 

I was honored to be asked to visit EPIC Universe with a preview ticket. They also opened tickets up for family and friends so I was able to take Mike and Lorelei with me. We had so much fun, but more importantly, I learned a lot to share with my clients.

Another new Disney Ship!! I got to board the brand new Disney Treasure in May. The ship is absolutely gorgeous. The food was amazing, as always with Disney Cruise Line. We sailed my favorite itinerary, Eastern European cruise. DCL will always be one of my favorite cruise lines. 

I have not been to Galveston to just visit in several years. It's a super convenient cruise port for our family. So many cruise lines are coming to Galveston permanently. I wanted to see what my clients can do if they stay in Galveston for a few days before their cruises. We had a fabulous time. 

The absolute best vacation = Hawaii + Disney. If you have not been to Disney's Aulani Resort on the island of Oahu, you need to put it on your bucket list. We reserved a cabana and floated the lazy river for one full day. This being our 5th trip to Oahu, we didn't do any island exploring. We just need a few days to relax. 

MAUI, Hawaii!! Our first trip to this island. We did lots of driving, exploring, and saw waterfall after waterfall. It is a gorgeous island and we definitely need to go back and relax. This trip was all about seeing as much as we could. 

We decided to hop over to Hawaii to see Kilauea in action. Well, we got to see some smoke. We visited right in the middle of eruptions. The Big Island is one of our absolute favorite places to visit. Mike and Lorelei went up Mauna Kea. They watched the gorgeous sunset and viewed all of the constellations. My lungs can't handle the altitude. I'm glad they had father/daughter time and grabbed amazing pictures for me. 

Wonder of the Seas is amazing! I had so much fun on my second Royal Caribbean Cruise. We rented a daybed on their private Beach, Coco Cay. We played bingo, minature golf, watched other zip line, and explored the entire ship. 

Halloween on the High Seas is a favorite on Disney ships! We booked this cruise on Monday while on the Wonder of the Seas. I drove from Miami to Port Canaveral to board the Wish on Friday. There is just something very special about Disney cruises. Our last night we stayed on the pool deck watching Haunted Mansion until midnight. We absolutely did not want to leave the next morning.
