Melissa made our trip to NYC effortless. She clearly knows her way around the city. We were truly grateful for all of her insight. From theater tickets to museum recommendations and little hole in the wall restaurants, we got to experience NYC like natives.

Thank you for everything. There wasn’t one issue the entire trip. Everything was planned and executed perfectly. I travel a ton so I have a high bar of logistics and this was really well done. Especially getting told that the rates have gone done and you’re putting $900 back in my pocket unexpectedly. That was definitely a pleasant surprise. Thank you!

Melissa was amazing. From the assistance with a personalized itinerary to appease everyone in our family to helping with last minute details, she was spot on with everything. All of her recommendations were great and as a result we had the best family time in London. Thank you again Melissa!

Melissa did an amazing job orchestrating our family trip to Switzerland. The first hotel knew we were a late arrival and even kept their restaurant open for us! Every train schedule was explained, restaurants were recommended, and she even got us free upgrades and hotel credits at almost half of the towns we visited! I will have Melissa book all of our travel going forward.

Perfect Girl's Weekend on Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas
In March of 2024, I celebrated a milestone birthday with some of my best friends aboard Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas. It was a fabulous weekend of relaxation and laughter. A cruise get-away is absolutely perfect when the hardest thing you want to do is choose which amazing restaurant you're going to dine in next. Low effort = epic rewards!

Girls Getaway to Montage Palmetto Bluff
One of my absolute favorite kinds of mini breaks is a Girl’s Getaway, and I recently had one of my favorites ever for a milestone birthday. My 3 friends and I chose to head to Montage’s Palmetto Bluff to celebrate, and it was magic! This gorgeous Southern paradise is exactly the kind of relax and unwind that we wanted, but relaxation is far from the only option at this Live Oak-drenched property. And while we were enjoying it perfectly well, sans husbands and kids, I would not hesitate making it the destination for a family getaway or a couples golf and spa weekend.
