✨ Client Success Story: Italy & Greece Done Right ✨

Two best friends came to me with a dream: experience both Italy and Greece together while enjoying the comfort and ease of traveling with a group.

Their wish list included:
🇮🇹 Visiting the Vatican
🎨 Art and history experiences
🏛️ Ancient landmarks
🇬🇷 Exploring Greek mythology and culture

To bring their vision to life, I selected the Best of Italy & Greece tour. This itinerary checked all the boxes by including guided sightseeing, accommodations, intra-European airfare, select meals, and the convenience of traveling with fellow explorers. Plus, there were optional excursions available for even more personalized experiences.

But I wasn't finished yet.
Once their tour concluded in Athens, I extended their adventure with a 4-night Celestyal Cruise through the Greek Islands.

Why Celestyal?
🚢 Longer port stays
🏝️ More islands visited
⏰ More time to immerse yourself in each destination
Rather than simply passing through, they had the opportunity to truly experience the beauty, history, and culture of the Greek Islands.

The best part? They had an amazing time exploring Italy and Greece together and even made new friends along the way! As it turned out, some of the people they met on their tour were also continuing on the cruise. They traveled to the port together and shared even more unforgettable experiences.

This is one of my favorite parts of group travel. Not only are you creating lifelong memories in incredible destinations, but sometimes you're also gaining lifelong friends.

This itinerary was the perfect blend of iconic landmarks, rich history, guided touring, and island-hopping adventure—all thoughtfully designed around my clients' travel preferences.

Thinking about combining multiple destinations into one unforgettable European vacation? I'd love to help create the perfect itinerary for you.

One month from today, the second Sail With Alaina group will be boarding the Norwegian Bliss to embark in our journey to Alaska!

I am a nature lover and can not wait to (hopefully 🤞🏼) to see whales up close! While the boys will be deep sea fishing, us girls are going on a whale watching tour and I suspect this will be the highlight of our trip.

I am a little nervous that it will be a bit chilly for my liking. Those who know me, know that I love hot weather, or as my husband would call it - making jerky temperatures. I am bringing lots of layers!

If you have visited Alaska, what is your favorite memory?

If it is still on your bucket list, what do you hope to see and do when you go?

Congratulations to the M family — they just booked a girls weekend getaway onboard Oasis of the Seas to celebrate a milestone birthday! 🥂🌴

Sailing on the OG of Royal Caribbean’s Oasis Class ships, they’ll experience the ship that completely changed cruising by introducing incredible firsts at sea — including neighborhood-style design, the open-air Central Park filled with thousands of live plants, the lively Boardwalk with a carousel, the stunning AquaTheater, and expansive entertainment and dining options unlike anything cruising had seen before.

Here’s to sunshine, laughter, memories with friends, and an unforgettable celebration at sea.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of your adventure! ✨

Congratulations to B&B on joining the December sailing aboard Utopia of the Seas! 🎉🚢

Originally, I had them booked in one of the ship’s beautiful interior cabins with a virtual balcony — a great feature that helps the room feel even more open and spacious. The very next day, I noticed a fare change that allowed me to upgrade them to an oceanview balcony cabin for even less money, so of course I made the switch! 🌊✨

One of my favorite parts of being a travel planner is keeping an eye on my guests’ reservations to make sure they’re getting the best value possible while creating unforgettable memories.

Thank you again B&B for booking with me — I can’t wait for you to experience this incredible ship this December!

✨ Congratulations to the E Family! ✨

Their trip is officially booked, and I’m so excited for everything they have planned! They’ll be staying at the Drury Inn at Disney Springs, giving their family of 5 plenty of space to relax and recharge between all the fun.

While they’re heading down for a gymnastics competition, I love that they’ve built in time to enjoy the magic too—exploring Disney Springs and spending a day at Magic Kingdom is the perfect balance! Plus, with early park admission included as a Good Neighbor Hotel guest, they’ll be able to get a head start on the fun.

Thank you again for trusting me to help plan their trip. I hope it’s an unforgettable experience for their whole family!

Congratulations to the B Family on booking their December sailing aboard Utopia of the Seas! 🚢✨

They’ll be spending quality time with family and friends on this fun 4-night getaway—such a perfect way to make lasting memories together.

Sailing in an oceanview balcony stateroom, they’ll have space for four guests plus their own private extension to the outdoors—nothing beats stepping out for fresh ocean air and those incredible views. 🌊

I’m especially excited for their boys to experience this amazing ship—it’s truly something special for all ages!

Thank you so much for your continued support. It means the world to me to help plan these unforgettable moments for your family. 💙
