I have been planning vacations since 2011, and became a travel agent officially in 2015.  I specialize in all things Disney, Universal, cruises, and all inclusive resorts.  My dream expansion would be into the European destinations - we fell in love with Prague and Paris in 2004 and can't wait to return.

The one thing I believe the most in is taking your vacations. Use that PTO and go do the things you love the most. From camping to boating to theme parks and far off destinations -- life is too short to not take those breaks and build those memories.

Being a military spouse, I understand the stress and the chance of no tomorrow. Having family members diagnosed with cancer, and battling major medical issues myself, makes that time away even more important.

We first started visiting Disneyworld in 2011 when our oldest was 3yrs old and our youngest was 3 months old. My husband had come home for his R&R from Afghanistan (having missed the birth of our 2nd). I made sure to document everything, as a just in case. And we have been going back yearly since, watching our kids grow up each year with all those memories - and they are memories for me and my husband more so then for the kids.
