The Perfect Vacation
Jodi’s recommendation to stay in Santa Margherita and Portofino were perfect for us. We rode bikes around Santa Margherita taking in the beautiful coastline our first day there. The second day she recommended the train that runs through the 5 villages stopping in Vernazza to have lunch in a castle seaside then hiking along the Cinque Terre back to Monterosso. We met so many awesome travelers on our hike back. Spent a day at Parragi Beach swimming in crystal clear waters then exploring Brown Castle. The whole trip checked off everything on our wishlist. She’s the best!

Florence Tuscany Charm
We flew into Rome, enjoyed pizza along with the Trevi Fouintain and the pantheon before taking the high speed train to Florence where we spent three nights. Fell in love with the food, the art, the architecture, and the Italians. The Uffizi and Duomo were a dream. We got lost in each place for hours, just taking in the art, the architecture, and history. The Duomo has a strict dress code to adhere to which Jodi advised us on prior to our arrival. We really appreciated her setting us up for success on our couples getaway. After Florence, we rented a car and headed into Tuscany to enjoy the country side for a couple nights. Explored some vineyards and relaxed poolside at this cute castle converted into a dreamy hotel with the most lovely little farm to table restaurant. We can’t wait for the next time we can explore more of Italy’s magic.

A trip I that was sorely needed.
She was great. She understood the state of mind I was coming from and was able to accommodate all my needs. She even helped me budget a few things so I could get the most out of my experience.

Most Magical Trip
Jodi helped us to create the most magical itinerary for our family's stay at Disney's Aulani Resort in celebration of our daughters birthday. For starters, all our accommodations were prepared before our arrival for our infant and toddler, and our villa was fully stocked with everything we could need including every outlet being baby-proofed. Our stay was the perfect balance of family activities such as our private meet and greet with Disney characters, Luau, snorkel catamaran excursion, ukulele lessons, hula class, and plenty of beach and pool time. She also arranged for my husband and I to have some couple experiences at the spa, stargazing, golf, and the most romantic beachside dinner. She also made sure that I had time to pamper myself at the spa for much needed mom time. Every need was anticipated for our family and our schedule was perfectly synchronized to accommodate nap times and meals.

We look forward to working with Jodi for all of our family's future trips!

Girls Trip
We wanted a girls trip to Maui for myself, my sister and our daughters and granddaughters. We wanted something special and were able to make it all happen thanks to Jodi's expertise. We enjoyed whale watching, the lavender farm and spa days. We even took a drive up Hana together. We laughed, we smiled and we cried and we cherished every moment together. Who knows when a trip like this would happen for us all again so we were incredibly grateful to Jodi. It was truly a most memorable vacation!
