Today I wore my teaching hat. I’m a travel advisor with but I’m also a swimming and lifeguard instructor. Teaching swim lessons, new lifeguards and water safety is one of my passions and I truly love being in the water and helping swimmers of all ages and abilities learn to swim and be safer around the water. I’ve been called a mermaid my whole life so why not help others become mermaids too.

Finding local places to eat is one of my favorite things to do on a road trip. We recently found a classic ice cream parlor, restaurant and museum in Columbus IN. has been open since 1900 and is filled with history, music and of course ice cream. If you’re in the area this is definitely a must do!

Travel Tip Tuesday
Check cruise port times before planning your day.

Not all port days are created equal — and timing matters more than most people realize.

Before you book excursions or make big plans, check:
- Arrival + departure times (some ports are short stops)
- All-aboard time vs sail-away time (they’re not always the same)
- Ship time vs local time (this can trip people up)
- Distance to what you want to do (and realistic transit time)
- Buffer time for traffic, lines, and “getting back through security”

This is how you avoid the stressful sprint back to the ship and actually enjoy the day.

Travel Tip Tuesday
Don’t book excursions based on photos alone.

Photos show the highlight reel — not the full experience.

Before you book, make sure you know what you’re actually signing up for:
- How long is the day really? (total time + travel time)
- What’s included vs extra? (food, drinks, gear, entry fees, tips)
- What’s the physical level? (walking, stairs, heat, water conditions)
- How big is the group? (private, small group, or “bus tour energy”)
- What’s the cancellation policy? (especially in weather-sensitive spots)

The goal isn’t to overthink — it’s to avoid the “this is not what I expected” moment.

I’ll be honest with you — even when the internet won’t.

Because a lot of travel content is designed to look good… not to match your budget, priorities, and real-life expectations. And the difference between “best trip ever” and “we should’ve known” is usually the details.

What I do for clients is help you:
- choose the option that fits your travel style (not just what’s trending)
- avoid common letdowns and hidden trade-offs
- build a plan that feels smooth from start to finish
- make confident decisions without second-guessing everything

I’ll help you sort the “looks amazing” from the “actually amazing for you.”

One of our favorite days of the year and it’s become a tradition for my sister in law to come with me and the twins to Indy 500 Qualifying. We love cheering on our favorite drivers and getting to visit Dad and our racing friends hard at work. The Indy 500 is an event like no other and people travel from all over to see it and celebrate the Month of May in Indy! Travel doesn’t always have to be far off places, sometimes it can be short day/weekend trips.
