Don’t Rain on MY Parade!

Can you believe all the rain and flooding Texas has experienced recently? Here in Lubbock, we’ve seen people kayaking down Quaker Avenue, parking lots completely flooded, and even roof collapses! I know other parts of the state have gotten hit hard, particularly San Antonio and the hill country. I want you to know that the safety of all those affected..........

Bartender Bingo

Looking for a little easy-does-it entertainment at your favorite beachside bar? Bartender Bingo couldn't be easier! This silly game makes for great people watching and gives you something to do when you're waiting out the rain. All you need is a cocktail napkin, pen, some kind of board markers (nuts or pretzels work great)...and a bar! Step 1: Make your..........

Don’t You Dare Go To Rome {Without Reading This}

It's summer! WooHoo!! My little girl wrapped up the 2nd grade this week, and we could not be more pumped for sweet summertime. The arrival of summer means my company becomes very mobile. Because my daughter and her friends will literally live in our backyard pool, I spend more time parked on my patio with my Mac on a laptop cooler..........

Outside the Box Honeymoon Ideas

It is wedding season, isn’t it? I am actually starting to lose count of how many wedding invitations I’ve received in the last few weeks! And since it’s only May, I know many more are yet to come. Do you know what surprises me though? Almost all of my honeymoon clients are going to the Caribbean or Mexico. While there's..........

Honeymoon in Europe

Europe is the Ideal Honeymoon Destination Europe is full of fun, romance, adventure, mystery, and sensory experiences. Trying new foods you can’t pronounce, getting lost in the Tuscan foothills, smelling the croissants every morning as you stroll hand-in-hand down the Rue de Rivoli, riding a train for the first time…Europe doesn’t even have to try to be romantic! Romantic adventures..........

Happy Anniversary to ME!

Can I just tell you how exciting this week has been at Seven Stars Vacations? Not only have we expanded our team to better serve our clients (more on that next week), but over the weekend we celebrated our O-N-E year company anniversary! It may not seem like much, but I have to say that I am super proud of..........

The Jetlag Experience would like to wish EVERY mom...old, new, expecting, adoptive, step, bonus, grand, surrogate, in-law...a very HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!! You are loved, appreciated, and worthy of high praise. Enjoy a day of blessings!

I’ve Got the Answers to Your Travel Questions!

Can I tell you one of the best things about my job? I LOVE that I am connected to some amazing people in this industry! Don’t get me wrong, I am a total guidebook geek and I read travel blogs constantly, but there is nothing better than having a go-to reference for those pesky questions in life! Hopefully you already..........

Enough With the Travel Time Sucks!

Imagine this: you’re starving and you’ve just sat down at your favorite steakhouse. It’s your Friday night date with your spouse, and you couldn’t be more delighted. You’ve ordered bone-in ribeyes, grilled asparagus, and—your personal fave—the lobster mac-n-cheese. With a 2011 Jordan cab swirling in your glass, you begin to unwind and relax (instead of rehashing the week’s drama). Feeling..........

Happy Hour Around the World!

Don’t you just love a great happy hour? I know I do! Whether it’s margaritas on a patio, wine at the Funky Door, or even a cocktail in my own kitchen, happy hour is one of those great (and sometimes necessary) traditions around here. I spend a lot of time blogging about, researching, and even planning travel around some fantastic..........
