Everything you're wondering.

No. My planning services are complimentary when you book your trip with me. The travel vendors pay my commission after you travel — so the price you see is the price you pay, and often it's the same or better than booking on your own.

Same price, more help. I match you to the right resort, ship, or destination for your family, watch for promotions, and I'm one call or text away before, during, and after your trip. If something goes wrong mid-travel, you have a real person to reach — not a hold queue.

All-inclusive resorts, cruises, and US getaways are my specialty — think Mexico, the Caribbean, Hawaii, and the national parks. I also book international trips like Europe; it isn't my forte, but I have trusted specialist partners, and you still get one point of contact: me.

I'll reply within a day with first thoughts and a few options that fit your dates, travelers, and budget. From there we narrow it down together, and I'll put together your personal quote. There's never any obligation or pressure.

Not at all. Rough months, a general vibe, and who's coming is plenty to start. If you already know dates and a budget, even better — but flexibility often unlocks better pricing, so we can explore that together.

It depends on the resort or cruise line — most accept a small deposit to hold your spot, with the balance due closer to travel. I'll walk you through the payment schedule for your specific trip before anything is booked, so there are no surprises.

Often, yes. If you've booked through me, I can help manage, tweak, or troubleshoot the reservation. For things you book on your own, my affiliate links keep your reservations connected to me — tours, travel insurance, and baby gear rentals are on the Services page.

I'll always explain each option's cancellation and change policies before you book, and if plans change I handle the rebooking with the vendor for you. Travel insurance is also worth considering — I can quote it for any trip.
