Thank you, @okemomtn , for having us! I loved usin

Thank you, @okemomtn , for having us! I loved using my @epicpass to ski with my family for a mini winter getaway. I can’t believe how much snow Vermont has; it is just the beginning of the season!

There are so many great things about being an Epic Pass holder:

- I get discounted tickets for friends and family.

- Epic Passes come with Epic Mountain Rewards, which saved us 20% on my son’s ski rentals and our meals at the Roundhouse and 43 North.

- My Epic Pass works at 41 resorts. Aside from Okemo, in Vermont, I can also go to @Stowemt and @mountsnow. But why stop there? Although I love skiing at home, I can also use my pass out west at resorts like @vailmtn or @pcski.

Where are you skiing this season?

2022 Recap: I was on the road a lot. I drank a lot

2022 Recap: I was on the road a lot. I drank a lot of of coffee on cruise ship balconies. And a lot of wine in cruise ship bars.

My work travels took me mostly to Europe, Caribbean, Mexico.

I flew on private for the first time. I had spa treatments in over water bungalows

Somehow I still managed to spend time in our new house in Vermont.

The tally:

- 24 trips
- 8 cruises
- 14 countries
- 9 islands
- 7 states

When I wasn’t traveling with my husband and my kids, some of my closest friends subbed in as my +1.

I saw lots of old friends and made a bunch of new ones.

Travel is the thing that feeds my soul. It isn’t always as glamorous as my Instagram makes it seem. I have had my fair share of mishaps and delays, but I wouldn’t have skipped one of these trips.

Can’t wait to see what 2023 has in store!

Small luxury cruise ships come in all shapes and s

Small luxury cruise ships come in all shapes and sizes. The Seabourn Ovation is larger than most. In fact at first glance, you might mistake her for a mid-sized ship. However, she holds only 600 passengers.

So why does she feel so big? Seabourn has dedicated so much space to the public areas giving guests plenty of room to spread out. There are five restaurants, seven bars, six hot tubs and two pools. Plus a casino and spa. And don’t get me started on the amount of outdoor spaces there are.

If you ever thought that small ship cruising wasn’t for you because it might feel too limiting, think again.

The best part is with all of this space, it never feels crowded. There is always a seat at the pool. Or hot tub.

I just boarded the @seabourncruise Ovation, my 8th and final cruise of the year. I will be on her for a week sailing around the Caribbean.

She is a small luxury cruise ship with only 300 suites. They are quite spacious with a walk-in closet and marble bathroom that has a double vanity, shower and full size tub. Our Veranda Suite on deck 7 has a big sitting area and nicer sized balcony. It is the perfect spot for my morning coffee. Take a look!

I am so excited about ski season that I planned a ski trip to @okemomtn over the Christmas break with my family. My kids are in their 20s and not home enough to warrant buying them a season pass. Instead, I opted to purchase them an #EpicDayPass. It is a great value. I’m saving up to 65% off compared to regular lift tickets!

Why is the Epic Day Pass the perfect option for us? Because I was able to build the pass to fit our needs. When buying their passes, we could select 1-7 days, choose the resorts we plan to visit, and add holiday access.

Plus, if you buy an @epicpass, it comes with Epic Mountain Rewards at no extra cost! That means we get 20% off on-mountain food and beverage, lodging, equipment rentals, and other benefits. So that will save us a lot of money while we are at Okemo.

I am glad we locked in our Epic Day Passes now because passes go off-sale on December 4th.

Wow! @celebritycruises has upped the luxury game on their new ship. Check out some of these unbelievable suites in The Retreat. They are beyond stunning.

It’s an oasis and a great way to have a small ship experience on a large cruise. You have access to your own pool, sun deck, lounge, bar and restaurant. You never have to leave unless you want to!

I am blown away. If you follow me, you know I love small ship cruising. However, with game changing architecture and design, the #CelebrityBeyond goes beyond all expectations. An Edge Series ship, the Beyond is in a class of its own. She is a luxury resort, spa resort and culinary haven combined into one spectacular cruise ship.

Despite holding 3000+ passengers, I am finding there are plenty of private spaces within this large ship. You’ll find a lot of little places and spaces to be by yourself or spend time with other guests.

After a week of sailing the French and Italian Riv

After a week of sailing the French and Italian Rivieras on @emeraldcruises.global's new super yacht, the Emerald Azzurra, I can safely say that I have been thoroughly spoiled. Although she holds 100 passengers, it often felt like I had the ship to myself. The spaces on board were gorgeous, the food was terrific, and the itinerary was fantastic. In addition, I enjoyed all of the small ports she sailed or tendered into, where we were often the only passengers in town.

I couldn't have asked for a better luxury small-ship cruising experience. The Azzurra sails this itinerary again in 2023. I highly recommend checking it out. The link 🔗 is in my bio.

Only small ships, like the Emerald Azzurra, can sail into the harbor in Bonifacio. This hilltop fortress town is located on the southern tip of Corsica. Perched on top of limestone cliffs the views of the Mediterranean Sea are extraordinary from all sides. Below the marina is filled with wonderful boutiques and waterfront restaurants.

October is a great month to cruise here while it is still warm and there are less crowds. Plus the shopping is fantastic and everything is on sale.

The water platform on @emeraldcruises.global #emeraldazzurra is open on days when the yacht is anchored in port like today in Corsica. Guests have complimentary use of seabobs, kayaks, and paddle boards. If you are not into the sporty activities, you can always just lay on the trampoline and enjoy the warm Mediterranean sun or chill by the pool like I did!

There is no shame in the eBike boost! It enabled me to cruise along Elba’s hilly roads with ease.

@emeraldcruises.global keeps a fleet of electric bikes onboard Emerald Azzurra, their super yacht, for guests to use at no extra cost! What a fantastic day in Italy.

This is totally next level small ship cruising. It is super yacht cruising! Check out the 100 passenger Emerald Azzurra. She is exceptional.

This week I am sailing on her in the French and Italian Rivieras with port stops in Corsica as well. See the link in my bio for the full itinerary.

Exploring Nice today, the embarkation point on our @emeraldcruises.global #EmeraldAzzurra cruise. We walked through old town and went to the market, one of my favorite things to do in European cities.

The @americanqueenvoyages Ocean Victory has this very cool feature - a wildlife platforms that opens out over the ocean! It is a great place to look for whales, dolphins, sharks and birds.
