Wanderlust Awaits: My Personal 2025 Travel Plans and Client Favorites

As the year winds down, I can’t help but look back on all the incredible memories from 2024 — both my own and those of my clients. It’s been a year filled with adventure, connection, and unforgettable moments.

Now, as 2025 approaches, I’m already buzzing with excitement for what’s to come. Between personal getaways and client dream vacations already on the books, next year promises to be one for the record books. Consider this a little travel inspiration to fuel your own wanderlust as we head into a brand-new year!

My Personal Travel Plans for 2025

Mary and I have some fantastic adventures lined up — a mix of familiar favorites and new destinations that we can’t wait to experience together.

A Year of Thrills in Branson
We’re keeping a beloved tradition alive with our Silver Dollar City season passes for 2025. There’s nothing quite like stepping into the park’s 19th-century charm, enjoying its new attractions, and indulging in the comfort food that makes every visit special. Unlimited visits mean plenty of memories — and maybe one too many cinnamon rolls.

Star Princess Inaugural Cruise
We’re thrilled to be sailing on the brand-new Star Princess for its inaugural season! Our itinerary includes the Dominican Republic and Grand Turk, where we’re planning to balance adventure and relaxation. Between snorkeling coral reefs, exploring local cuisine, and soaking in those signature Princess luxuries, this cruise is sure to be unforgettable.

Our Little Secret Sandals Retreat
Okay, this one’s a secret… but I can’t help sharing just a little. I’m planning an exclusive Sandals getaway for Mary and me — just the two of us, surrounded by luxury, beaches, and gourmet dining. No schedules, no worries — just pure relaxation. Let’s keep this one between us!

On the Books: Where Clients Are Headed in 2025

One of my favorite parts of being a travel advisor is helping clients bring their dream trips to life. Here’s a sneak peek at some of the incredible journeys already set for the year ahead.

Performing at the Most Magical Place on Earth
A family I’ve worked with is heading to Disney World this spring for an extra-special reason — their daughter will be performing in the band there! It’s a magical moment for the entire family and a reminder of how travel can make dreams come true in the most unforgettable ways.

Girls’ Trip to the Last Frontier
A group of friends is setting sail on a Princess Cruise to Alaska for a girls’ trip that combines jaw-dropping scenery with a touch of luxury. Between glaciers, charming towns, and wildlife sightings, this adventure promises plenty of laughter and memories that will last a lifetime.

The Ultimate Surprise Engagement
Romance is in the air for one of my clients who’s planning a secret Sandals getaway with an unforgettable twist — a beachside proposal at sunset. I can already picture the moment (and yes, it’s still a surprise for her!).

Final Thoughts

2024 was an incredible year, but 2025 is shaping up to be even better. Whether you’re dreaming of a once-in-a-lifetime trip, a relaxing all-inclusive retreat, or a family getaway filled with special moments, there’s no better time to start planning than now.

If one of these destinations sparks your imagination, I’d love to help turn it into your own travel story. After all, the best journeys begin with a single wish.
