That's… Continue reading Royal Beach Club Paradise Island – Royal Caribbean’s newest beach escape
Junior’s Senior Trip
Senior trips often involve beaches, theme parks, or weeks spent exploring Europe.

You’re Not Short on Money. You’re Short on Time.
Lately, I’ve been thinking about time in a different way. There’s a phrase that keeps coming back to me. "You only get 18 delicious summers with your kids." Eighteen chances to shape traditions, build connection, and set the tone for what the relationship will look like when they’re grown. When you look at it that way,… Continue reading You’re Not Short on Money. You’re Short on Time.
Swimming with the Pigs
Not every travel plan goes exactly as expected, but sometimes, the unexpected turns into something even better. During a recent trip to Nassau to spend time with my side of the family, we had one must-do experience on our list: the original swimming with the pigs tour in Exuma, Bahamas. We had it booked, planned,… Continue reading Swimming with the Pigs

Fall in Love with Mexico All Over Again… in Puerto Vallarta
If you’ve only seen Mexico’s Caribbean side, you’re missing half the story. I recently returned from an immersive travel-agent training in Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Nayarit, and Punta de Mita, and let me tell you, this region is a different kind of beautiful than the Mexican Caribbean.
