The sea lions look like they're performing. The iguanas look like they're posing. Nothing in The Galápagos is doing either — they just live like this, and travelers get to watch.

Happy Labor Day Weekend! 🇺🇸

I hope your weekend includes a little time to relax, have some fun and enjoy the unofficial end of summer.

I’m looking forward to the long weekend…but I’m also pretty excited about what’s waiting on the other side of it. ✈️

Next week, Jon and I are heading back to Jamaica 🇯🇲 for the 22nd Annual Sandals USA Travel Advisor Golf Tournament!

I’m always happy to return to Jamaica, but I’m especially excited to be going back this time. I love the warmth of the island, the people, the music, the food and that unmistakable Jamaican spirit. I’m looking forward to being there again, supporting the destination and seeing firsthand what’s happening on the island.

And yes…there will definitely be golf! ⛳

We’ll be staying at Sandals Ochi, and I’ll also be getting a closer look at Sandals Royal Plantation and Sandals Dunn’s River, learning what’s new with Sandals & Beaches, and bringing home plenty of firsthand information to help my clients choose the resort that fits them.

Of course, knowing Jon and me, I’m sure there will be a few adventures along the way too. 🌴

Follow along next week and see what we get into!
