Stacey suggested this property to me after staying there herself and was 100% spot on. In fact, she always has my interests top of mind when recommending properties and hasn't missed once. I was set to stay somewhere else and she steered me to the Pulitzer and I'm so glad she did. She also reached out ahead of time and coordinated a smooth arrival and check in process, as well as perks galore - I felt like a real VIP!

Stacey ensured I had no issues with the hotel and adjusted the dates to accommodate my plans. She was able to give her thoughts on the property based on personal experience, which I appreciated since I had almost a full week stay. She is well traveled herself and has great recommendations, which makes her a helpful guide when booking.

Stacey is the best! She knows exactly what I want and need before I do and she delivers every single time. Always available, she is quick to respond to questions no matter the time zone from whcih I am calling or texting. Her knowledge of hotels and fine dining is rooted in decades of her own personal, extensive travels. She is highly organized, extremely flexible, easy going and gracious. I feel so fortunate to have her on my team as I tackle both short solo trips and grand family vacations.

Stacey did an incredible job at recommending this property to us for a special bday trip and arranging private tours, seamless VIP airport pickup, dinner reservations and more. She continues to be my first stop when I'm even thinking of going somewhere - I simply cannot imagine planning a trip without her anymore!

Sailing With Uniworld in Venice Should Be on Everyone’s Bucket List
I had been to Venice before many times, but never like this trip on Uniworld’s SS La Venezia. The river ship is custom-built and designed to sail the Venice lagoons and see all of Venice... even the smaller islands you won’t necessarily seek out on your own or even know to go to. That, coupled with the insider access and private tours that Uniworld provides, makes this itinerary truly bucket-list-worthy.

A Glorious Week Sailing Through The Rhône River Valley
As I am a wine snob and Francophile, traveling around this region had been near the top of my list for quite a while. However, the idea of renting a car and moving from place to place in order to enjoy the full scope of it was a turn-off. Enter: river cruising up the Rhône with Riverside Cruises! We traveled from Avignon in the south to Lyon and even beyond that, up the Saône river into southern Burgundy. This was a delicious and well-paced journey that I'd recommend to any French wine aficionado.

Crossing The Atlantic In Six Days On Cunard's Queen Mary 2
Cunard’s Queen Mary 2 Transatlantic Crossing had been on my radar for a while as something I’d like to experience at least once in my life. That ‘experience’ part is key because it turned out to be much more than just a transatlantic cruise — it’s truly a bucket-list-worthy experience.

Dominican Daze on Virgin Voyages Valiant Lady
To say expectations were high before boarding our first Virgin Voyages sailing, would be an understatement. The hype was real!. My social feeds constantly gushing with compliments. Honestly, I didn’t know how it was going to live up to the image that has been portrayed so artfully in Virgin’s marketing plus the countless Youtube videos I had consumed. And here’s the kicker — we’re in our 50's so would we feel like old fuddy duddies on board? Can we keep up with the youngins?
Let me cut to the chase and say this — I loved everything about Virgin Voyages and it lived up to my high expectations and then some. I had more ‘fun’ on this cruise than any other of my previous 30 cruises combined. And yet, below the surface, I found Virgin Voyages to be a story of contrasts….
On the other side of all that fun, I would have loved a little relaxation, but a more sedate experience proved to be elusive. Sailing at capacity, the Valiant Lady was packed to the gills at every turn. The only place I could relax and get some quiet time was my balcony stateroom and the oh-so-lovely hammock on the balcony where I had daily chill-out sessions and maybe a nap or two :)
Ultimately, I disembarked the Dominican Daze sailing five days later with mixed feelings. On the one hand…what just happened? As in, I had a blast from beginning to end. But on the other hand, I was exhausted. I decided that Virgin Voyages is an amazing product for a certain customer looking for a specific type of experience. In other words, if you’re looking to party, socialize and enjoy yourself, you need not look any further! If you’re looking for some quiet relaxation and low-key vibes, this may not be the experience for you. But would I return? Yes, in a heartbeat. I’d just save up my energy ahead of time next time and completely embrace the experience for what it is — a non-stop party and a good time.
