Stones Throw Travel

Someone recently told me people don’t need help booking travel because they’re capable of doing it themselves.

Totally true. Most people are also capable of doing their own manicures, brewing coffee at home, and running their car through a hose in the driveway.

Yet salons stay booked. Coffee shops stay full. Car washes stay busy on every corner.

Ability was never really the question. The real question is whether someone wants to spend their time that way, or whether they’d rather hand it off to someone who does it for a living.

Planning a trip means digging through reviews, comparing endless options, and hoping nothing slips through the cracks. Working with an advisor means someone already knows the destination inside and out, has relationships that get you more, and catches the details before they become problems.

What you’re paying for isn’t the ability to book a flight. It’s getting your time back, having an expert in your corner, and knowing it’s done right.

Letting loose cowgirl style after 2 back to back conferences, GTM in Palm Springs and Virtuoso in Vegas. A total of 8 days of pre-scheduled one-on-one meetings, interactive boardroom presentations, and high-level networking events.

It’s about connecting with other people, making friends, building partnerships with suppliers and having a great time while I’m doing it. Exhausting, but I’ve made so many valuable partnerships with amazing vendors for my clients’ unforgettable adventures! If you’re thinking of future travel, I’ve got some creative ideas and trusted suppliers for you!

Why is it so important to choose the right cruise line for Alaska? Because the big ones just sail on by a mile away from the glacier while the smaller lines anchor and you get to kayak and zodiac up to the glacier. The astounding beauty of Hubbard Glacier. North America's largest tidewater glacier, Hubbard Glacier is known as the "Galloping Glacier" for its rapid advance towards the Gulf of Alaska. It's famous for its massive, 400-foot-tall face, frequent calving (ice breaking off), which we were lucky enough to see and hear on the zodiacs during a glorious sunny day!

What does a travel advisor actually do all day? More than most people would guess.

Before your trip is ever booked, we’re comparing properties we’ve personally visited, weighing which room categories are actually worth it, and checking with our hotel contacts about what’s new.

Once you say yes, the real work starts. Securing the right rooms. Arranging transfers, guides, and reservations. Adding perks and upgrades through our partnerships. Building a day-by-day flow that doesn’t exhaust you.

And while you travel, we’re still on. Watching flights, adjusting plans when weather shifts, and solving the small problems before you ever hear about them. Most of this happens behind the scenes. The result is a trip that just works.

If you’ve never traveled with an advisor, this is your sign to try it.
