Last week I had the honor of being invited to an overnight on the Celebrity Beyond, Celebrity’s third Edge Class Ship. She just arrived in North America, to New York City, after a full summer sailing the Mediterranean in Europe. I was only on board for one night, but I got to explore every bit of this incredible ship (and meet Captain Kate McCue), and can’t wait to share with you.

This summer I had to renew my passport, so I knew our end of summer adventure would be a stateside one. Since I’ve planned many Florida Keys trips for lucky clients, I knew I wanted to get down there and explore. This August, we did a split stay between Key West and Hawks Cay on Duck Key, and as always it was an epic adventure. We had the best time and I’m so excited to share my Key West with kids itinerary with you!

This past New Year’s my family had the best time at Universal Orlando! We had three park days, hit up both theme parks and Islands of Adventure, enjoyed a non-park day and stayed, for the first time, at Loews Sapphire Falls. Sapphire Falls was one of the last resorts at Universal Orlando to reopen, but its available and I was excited to experience this new-to-me resort, and I can’t wait to share my full Sapphire Falls review with you.
