Our middle baby turns FIVE today!
Maddie Grace was made to be a big sister and I’d go as far to say a middle child, too 🤣

She’s grown up so much this past year & it’s been so hard to watch the girl who we had serious concerns for in a school setting enter Pre-K, thrive and then have it taken away. Fortunately all these changes in her little life haven’t taken her humor away or the joy and love she has for her sisters!
Her love for vacation and airports rivals mine & we’re counting the days until we can fulfill that for her again!

Friends don’t let friend pass along not-in-conte

Friends don’t let friend pass along not-in-context travel information! 😉

You’ll probably be seeing articles with headlines such as “XYZ is opening X June!” And while this IS great news, here is the list of what I am looking for to give factual advice to #hctclients
1. WHO is allowed in? Is this just for their citizens? For citizens of bordering countries or are US passport holders allowed?

2. Is there a quarantine required upon arrival?

3. Is there a Covid-19 test required upon arrival OR do you need to provide proof of a negative Covid-19 test within so many days of arrival?

4. What are the social distancing rules at the accommodations you’re headed to like? We all desperately need a break; I want this to feel like a vacation not a stressful, awkward version of vacation where pool signups make your kids lose their temper because you can only use the pool every other day. #realmomfears
5. What are the flight options now available?
This helps guide my decisions and advice along with talking to my partners on property - don’t assume because you read the quick headline that you have a handle on what’s happening 😉😘

Here’s me four years ago - the week before HCTC

Here’s me four years ago - the week before HCTC opened.

Excited, anxious, determined, nervous, joyful (and no gray hair!) I’ve made mistakes on both the backend and client facing side, made stupid decisions that backfired, spent money on unimportant things, but thanks to Gods grace I’ve mostly had unending success - sales goals met, loyal clients & referral business to keep growth going, secure partnerships, career opportunities.

The truth is its hard to find any joy in celebrating this year when all my success on paper has vanished & I had no hand in how that happened.
But today isn’t actually about me - it’s about YOU! The ones who keep asking me to show up everyday to fulfill your hopes & dreams of seeing the world, trusting me to guide & advise you properly, finding the people who can make whatever your heart desires happen on your vacation, asking me to be here when this all settles & travel resumes. You’re encouragement and zest for travel keeps me motivated to spur forward. It means the world to me!

Thank you for four years, #hctclients 💕 today I’m raising a glass & a prayer for brighter days (& the smell of jet fuel soon!)

This is Katie! If you’ve ever paid any attentio

This is Katie!

If you’ve ever paid any attention to what I share, then you’ll probably recognize her as my “work wife” and my amazing partner for Ireland & Scotland! I started working with her in ‘13 and we’ve planned over 100 trips together 🙏🏽 She and I co-founded @travelprotheory in ‘18 to better travel advisors by calling out the ‘bad behavior’ (thank you @anthologytravel 🤣) we saw occurring with the lack of barrier to entry in our beloved career path!

We haven’t quite accomplished everything we want to over there yet BUT we are constantly talking about how to be better together- the advisor & supplier relationship is a constant dance.
I can’t know everything about every destination but rather be in expert in knowing what my clients want & need so year after year I can be better at planning your vacations!

I have always been more transparent regarding my partners on the back end of your travel plans, but I could be better & more informative! So that’s why as soon as Katie finishes writing a series on this, I will be sharing it! 😁

If you have a question about the “back end” of travel planning, on how the industry works - always happy to talk shop on this!
