A view that captured my heart

A day trip to the Tuscany countryside!

Tuscany is everything you have dream of and more! It is one of the most famous and beautiful regions of Italy, for a good reason. It will literary take your breath away.

I can’t even express how much this day trip meant to me and my husband. We were celebrating our 18 years of marriage and knew if traveling to Italy... a day trip was at the top of our list. Tuscany has something for everyone, quaint towns, stunning views, history, food that is superb, and of course wine!

Being here, you will drive by the traditional cypress trees and you will feel like you are in a painting and it’s everything that you have imagined and more. Our day trip consisted of visiting three villages(Montalcino, Pienza, and Montepulciano).

A winery that is owned by a local family and their passion for wine is deeply treasured at this vineyard in Montalcino. After some wine tasting and chatting with the locals, it’s time to drive to Pienza close by for a gourmet lunch.

Here we would be sitting hilltop to admire the rolling green scenery and the most breathtaking views I have ever seen. Plus, enjoying a delicious lunch. We spent our free time walking around the streets and finding all the hidden gems around every corner. The last stop is Montepulciano, which is a Tuscan medieval village. We visited an underground city that was located downstairs of a local wine shop. Learning about the wines, tastings, and history of this building will capture your heart and you will want to bring all the wine back home with you.

This is a must-do for wine and food lovers! It was the highlight of our Italy trip and will be remembered forever.

Amazing Beach Vacation!

Jamie was so great to work with in planning our extended family vacation to Turks and Caicos…three families from three different cities. We celebrated my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary so it was very important to us that we had dinner together every night. Even though the resort didn’t take reservations, she leveraged her connections at the resort to get us reservations at all the restaurants we wanted to go to every night! And had it all arranged even before we left. That meant so much to us. She coordinated all the details of the trip…things I didn’t even know I needed to do…she just did it! The trip was wonderful and so low stress…truly an amazing vacation!

Made Our Disney Trip So Much Easier

Jamie planned our trip to Disney World in January 2019. We traveled with a large group (12) and stayed off property. Jamie provided us with all sorts of ideas via email. We specified parks we wanted to visit and rides/dining we wanted. Jamie booked these for us each night, 30 days out. She also continued to look for reservations/FastPasses right up until our trip. We met in person shortly before departing to get tickets. Jamie gave us a packet of information, as well as a laminated daily schedule and family goodie bags. The kids loved the lanyards and games she provided for waiting in line. Finally, Jamie was there to help us during our trip. In the past, we’ve found Disney’s technology is not perfect -- tickets/Magic Bands don’t always function properly. Jamie was available via phone/text to help address any concerns. Jamie is organized, easy to work with, and highly knowledgeable about Disney. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again in the future.

Honeymoon plans made easy!

Thanks to Jamie, my now husband and I were able to plan the best honeymoon while also planning a wedding! Jamie did everything for us and guided us step by step when needed. She gave great recommendations on which resort to choose, activities, excursions, and restaurants. We had a great time at our Sandals resort and cannot wait to book another trip with Jamie’s help!

Honeymoon to remember!

She took care of everything for us down to the little tiny details. I definitely wouldn't have been able to do it without her. Jamie kept in touch with us constantly up until we arrived back home.
