Dream Explorations

Great time at Exoticca's Fall Fling last night! 💃🏾 Exoticca is an innovative travel partner that delivers 300-plus itineraries across 60 countries.

I even won a prize 🙌🏾 and got to meet their CEO, Pere Valles, along with other key members of the team.

I can't wait to share more with my clients! 😁

One of the best parts of working with clients all across the U.S. is getting the chance to meet them in person when we cross paths! ✈️ 💛

While in Las Vegas this weekend, I got to spend some time with Stephanie R. Graham and her husband! 🥰 These wonderful clients are getting ready for their first trip with Dream Explorations, a bucket-list getaway this December with two other couples! 🌍

It was so nice putting some real-life time behind over a year of trip planning. ✨

Twenty-five years later, we remember. 🇺🇸

We honor the lives lost, the heroes who answered the call, and the families forever changed by September 11, 2001.

I’ve shared the ports. Now let’s talk about the ship that took us there. 🚢

Celebrity Xcel is still less than a year old, and we sailed during her very first season in the Mediterranean.

Our group of 23 found a beautiful, modern ship with spectacular service, very good food, impressive entertainment and some genuinely fun surprises.

Swipe through for my Xcel download...from The Bazaar and a hidden speakeasy to the pool deck, theater and a few of the spaces that made us stop and look twice.

Could you see yourself sailing Xcel?

Fun night with Classic Vacations 🥂 I got to spend time with fellow advisors, connect with the sales team, and chat with hotel partners representing their brands.

The connections I make behind the scenes help me find the right hotels, destinations, and travel experiences for my clients around the world! 🌏

Walking through ancient Ephesus was like stepping straight into history. 🇹🇷 From the incredible Library of Celsus to the grand theater and marble streets, the scale of this ancient city is amazing.

And only about 10–20% of Ephesus has been excavated! After more than 160 years of digging, most of this ancient city is still underground. 🤯

One cruise stop in Turkey definitely wasn’t enough. Istanbul and Cappadocia are calling me next! ❤️

🇹🇷

Santorini is beautiful…but getting around Santorini, when arriving by cruise, is an adventure all by itself! 😂 🇬🇷

Tender ➡️ boat ➡️ uphill walk ➡️ van ➡️ bus ➡️ private driver…all to make sure Terry got the full Santorini experience! 🥰

We started in Oia with those iconic blue domes, beautiful views and a little shopping before heading to Fira. From there, our driver took us to two local w**eries, including a w**e museum, for a taste of Santorini’s unique w**es. 🍷

And then came the grand finale…walking the nearly 500 steps back down to the port while dodging donkeys AND everything the donkeys left behind. 💩😂
But we made it and had a great day doing it.

Since I’d already experienced Santorini, my mission was simple: Terry needed to see those blue domes and taste some Santorini w**e.

Mission accomplished. 💙
