Getaway to Mexico and stay forever. That is how it goes right? The Yucatan Peninsula and Riverira Maya is an incomparable stretch of paradise. The Margaritas and authentic tacos are the finishing touch. I have spent time in this area, with Tulum as a favorite. All-inclusive resorts are plentiful and the perfect touch to let you relax, even with kids, or work while away from home and still feel the stress melt away. The beaches are warm and shallow for a generous distance providing the perfect opportunity for snorkeling or enjoying the ocean. Eco adventures are the highlight of excursions and theme parks like Xcaret, or Xel-Ha are must do’s on your visit, ATV riding, ziplining, and more.  Cenotes, natural sinkholes are located all over that provide snorkeling, swimming, and cave adventures that will appear to be out of a fairytale. The history of Mexico is abundant, and visits to wonders such as Chichen itza or Tulum Ruins are breathtaking.Want to get your social media on? Swings over water, Joshua trees, and art will find you to no avail beyond your beach photos. Let me book the perfect trip where it is not just five o clock somewhere, but you are where happiness, fun and relaxation is 24 hours.

<p>Cruises offer a unique vacation experience, presenting the perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and luxury while you sail across the high seas. Immense floating resorts, cruises take you to multiple destinations while offering the convenience of unpacking just once. Here’s why opting for a cruise might be one of the best travel decisions you'll ever make:Multiple Destinations, One Journey A cruise vacation allows you to wake up in a new port or country almost every day. From the sun-kissed Caribbean islands to the scenic fjords of Norway or the historic Mediterranean ports, cruises cover a multitude of routes where the journey itself is part of the adventure.All-Inclusive Comfort Most cruises come with all-inclusive pricing, which often covers accommodation, round-the-clock dining, entertainment, and transportation between destinations. This means not having to worry about the logistics of meal planning or moving your luggage from one place to another.Amenities and Entertainment Onboard Cruise ships are well-known for their onboard offerings, including Broadway-style shows, casinos, movie theaters, and live music performances. Sprawling decks with pools, slides, and hot tubs ensure relaxation and fun in the sun, while luxurious spas offer pampering treatments and fitness centers help you stay active.Dining and Cuisine Dining on a cruise is a delight, with a variety of restaurants offering everything from buffet-style meals to fine dining experiences. Specialized eateries serve various cuisines including Italian, East Asian, and seafood. Some cruise lines even feature menus designed by celebrity chefs.Excursions and Explorations Shore excursions are a huge part of the cruise experience, allowing you to dive into the local culture, history, and activities at each port. Whether it's climbing a glacier in Alaska, snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef, or touring ancient ruins in Greece, there's an excursion for every interest.Family-Friendly Adventures A cruise is a perfect family getaway since most ships provide programs catered to children and teenagers. Kids' clubs, dedicated youth coordinators, and specially designed activities ensure that younger passengers are engaged and parents can relax.Cultural Immersion Luxury cruises often invite experts to give lectures on destinations, offering insights into the history and natural science of the areas visited. Evenings may highlight the region’s cultural music and dance, giving a taste of the local flavor without even leaving the ship.Voyaging in Tranquility For many, a cruise is a chance to disconnect (although WiFi is available), gaze out at the endless ocean, and indulge in the simplicity of maritime life. The tranquility of being at sea, combined with the ease of having every need met, creates a deeply relaxing holiday.Cruising is more than just a trip — it’s a mode of travel that turns the sea into your highway and the ship into your home away from home. Whether you are basking in the sun on deck, feasting on gourmet meals, discovering new lands, or dancing the night away, cruising offers a spectacular way to see the world.</p>

Monique was very responsive. She understood my vision for my vacation. Made some good suggestions and found some nice activities. Several of my tours were better than expected. The trips to the wineries were phenomenal!
Miss X - Croatia ~ Europe
Monique did a wonderful job planning a family trip for myself and my siblings to Williamsburg, VA. While I was already somewhat familiar with the area, she was able to provide us information on 'hidden gems' within the area that we were not aware of! <br/>She was very thorough from the beginning to end of the trip by all the right questions to ensure she had all information needed to plan a wonderful family vacation. She was very responsive to all questions and did a great job of ensuring we were as prepared as possible for our long weekend. She made sure we were able to include fun activities for everyone (children and adults) as we visited Busch Gardens, Lounged out on the beach for a day, and we were even able to do a little retail therapy at the Tanger Outlets after a little wine tasting at the Williamsburg Winery (only the adults ;-) ). I cannot wait until my family is ready for another weekend retreat, as we will be reaching out to Monique for her wonderful services once again.<br/>
Panda - Williamsburg ~ Virginia ~ USA
Monique was wonderful to work with, and really helped us create an unforgettable vacation in Croatia. Monique was a pleasure to work with - upbeat and happy and resourceful. She provided us with excellent options to choose from, and really tailored our trip according to what we wanted. She followed up with us many times to ensure all details were set. She gave us a "heads up" about changing our flight away from Newark airport, even before we'd heard about the issues there on the news. Monique was also a great resource during our trip when we had 2 or 3 questions. She was very responsive. Overall, it was a great partnership for our trip, and we expect to work with Monique again in the future.
