Did you know you can take roundtrip rail vacations from Chicago to some of the most incredible National Parks in the country? No airports, no traffic - just sit back, enjoy the scenery, and let the journey be part of the adventure.

Some of the itineraries currently available include:
🏔️ Yellowstone & Grand Teton National Parks
🌄 Bryce Canyon, Zion & the Grand Canyon
🌲 Yosemite National Park
🏜️ Arches & Canyonlands
🦬 Multi-park adventures through the Rockies and beyond

Perfect for travelers who want to slow down a bit and actually enjoy the journey instead of rushing through it ✨

I especially love these options for:
• Couples
• Retirees
• Multi-generational families
• Anyone nervous about flying
• Travelers looking for something different than the typical vacation

If you’ve ever dreamed about seeing America’s National Parks in a unique way, I’d love to help you explore the options!

It's been awhile since I did a "Who am I?" post.... so here we go!

I’m a full-time travel agent, a mom of 2 amazing children, a Disney adult (obviously 😂), cruise lover, and the person who gets genuinely excited helping other people plan vacations.

A few random facts about me:
✈️ I plan way more than just Disney trips
🚢 I LOVE cruising
☕ I run heavily on caffeine and vacation countdowns
📋 I’m the type of person who makes spreadsheets for fun
🎢 My favorite theme park ride is not at Disney
🌍 Japan is at the very top of my personal travel bucket list
💕 I am a HUGE advocate of supporting small business!

I’ve met so many amazing people through this business, and I’m really grateful for everyone who follows along, asks questions, shares posts, trusts me with their trips, or even just hangs out here to help support me ❤️

✨ Oops… I completely forgot to post my May travel recap on the 1st 😅

This month my clients are headed off on a pretty fun mix of trips!

We’ve got several Walt Disney World vacations this month, which is always exciting to see this time of year 🏰

There are also two Royal Caribbean cruises on the calendar, including a larger group cruise and I know they are ready to set sail!🚢

Two seasoned cruising families are sailing with Disney Cruise Line for the first time and I can't wait to hear all about it! ⚓

And one couple is heading out on a Amtrak train adventure to Seattle, which is just the coolest way to travel! 🚂

I always enjoy seeing the variety of trips everyone is taking each month, and I really appreciate everyone who trusts me to help plan them. Thank you for supporting my small business 💛

ATTN Carnival Cruise Line Guests!

Keep an eye on your inbox 👀

Carnival is starting to roll out emails about their new rewards program launching September 1, 2026.

If you receive one, you’ll want to make sure you enroll and opt in so your current rewards status transfers over to the new program.

Happy Sailing!

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is my favorite event of the year 🎃
(Yes, we will be going!)

They’re bringing back favorites like the Boo-to-You Parade and the Cadaver Dans, plus a fun new dance party with Stitch in Tomorrowland.

Tickets go on sale May 5th for resort guests and May 12th for everyone else, and some nights do sell out—especially October.

If it’s been on your list, this is your sign 🙂

Hi, I’m Erin… and I do laundry on vacation.

I know how that sounds 😅

But hear me out—on the last day of a trip, if there’s a washer and dryer, I’m using it. There is nothing better than getting home, unpacking, and not immediately being greeted by a mountain of laundry.

Future me is always very grateful for that decision.

I also know there are more types of people… the ones who wash everything the second they walk in the door, and the ones who let the suitcase sit there for a few days pretending it doesn’t exist.

So now I need to know… where do you fall?

Laundry on vacation, or deal with it later?

A few months ago, I shared how Royal Caribbean’s sleeping setup works for a family of 4… so here’s the Disney Cruise Line version!
And if you’re a family of 5, there are staterooms with an additional Murphy bed too.
