December 27th, 2013 – January 02nd 2014

Smile! You are in paradise! Reads a sign prominently displayed at Sangster International Airport as you exit the airport into Montego Bay. Aggressive cab drivers and local vendors tried to distract me but no, I had to let it sink in. I am in Jamaica!!! Finally! My feet had touched the ground on a dream destination! It was time to start making my own memories!

This trip came at a great time! Some of the best friends anyone could ask for suggested a getaway to escape the winter blues. There was no hesitation on my part.

With my friends in tow, we took a two hour shuttle ride from the airport to our all-inclusive resort in Ocho Rios. The shuttle was filled with many tourists. Most of them first timers at this part of the world! You could feel the excitement! The resort was amazing!!

Here are the highlights of my trip:

– Incredible tropical weather. After leaving behind cold Atlanta the warm weather was welcome.

– The food!!! You haven’t had an authentic mouthwatering beef patty until you’ve had it in Jamaica! The street side jerk chicken is finger licking good! I also got to try the jerk pork for the first time! The. Best. Ever. It changed my view on pork.

– Open air night clubs! Dancing under the stars to some great tunes was a great experience. We did witness illegal business being carried on right under our noses but turned a blind eye to it.

– Took a huge risk by hopping on a rickety boat with some strangers, local fishermen – father/son duo, against my friends wishes. The fishermen couldn’t have been nicer! Amazing guides they turned out to be. They took us places most tourists would be too afraid to venture into. I saw a part of Jamaica you never see in guide books! Quite refreshing.

– Took the most incredible sky lift ride at Mystic Mountain. On your way to the top you will believe there really is a God!!

– Stunning fireworks at the beach on New Year’s eve at Doctors Cave Beach in Montego Bay.

Soon I shall return to this land of great food, beautiful beaches, warm people and great weather!

"This was the first time I ever used a trip planner. I entrusted Sally with my travel plans and she did not disappoint. She listed day by day activities after checking with me what my passions were. The activities included a photoshoot which was something new to me. Sally connected me with a photographer who helped me capture the sunset in Cabo. The photoshoot turned out to be the best memorable time of my trip. Sally went above and beyond planning for my trip. I had a hiccup with my flight while at the check in desk. I called Sally. I didn’t even expect her to pick up my phone because of the time difference from a different time zone. Sally She stayed with me on the phone and helped call the airline. Having someone on the phone with me and seeing how much she cared just made me appreciate working with her. She takes the hustle and stress of planning away, so you are left enjoying your trip and making memories to last a lifetime”

“Sally has some great recommendations on any destinations I have inquired about leading to a great travel experience. When planning a trip to Italy and she was the first person that came to mind for recommendations on the best cities to visit, the most affordable way to travel and the best way to save on accommodation. She's my go to person when planning my travels.”

"I reached out to Sally to help me plan a milestone birthday for my boyfriend in Bali. I wanted this trip to be special. I shared my plan with her. Sally listened keenly. She picked up on the must-haves, and added her subject matter experience on Bali, where she had been to several times. We're an adventurous couple and needed advice on things to do. Sally was phenomenal from flight selections, airport transfers & lounges, hotels, restaurants, villas, and even local Uber. She recommended different apps which made our life easier. She did all the heavy lifting while he and I narrowed down our preferences. I have planned many trips before on my own or with various travel agents and I must say Sally is truly the best planner I have ever had the pleasure to interact with. Her dedication is bar none. She researched and answered our questions in great time - day or night. She was with us from the moment we boarded the flight to arriving at the hotel in Bali. The trip was perfectly planned to allow for moments of relaxation, pleasure, play and enough time to explore on our own. Sally created the best trip to date with the best of memories while introducing us to a new level of travel. Here's to more trips to come!"

"We recently celebrated our wedding anniversary in Key West, FL. An amazingly beautiful destination! Even as an avid traveler, I needed help to make the most of the trip so I turned to Sally for her itinerary planning services. All I did was give her a skeleton plan of our trip and our vision and she went to work filling in the blanks with amazing activities and suggestions as well as lots of relevant information about our destination. In this age of Covid she will even include the specific protocols and requirements for your destination. Next time, you feel overwhelmed about planning, look no further."

"Sally is the ultimate travel guide. She is especially knowledgeable on destinations and has awesome time/money saving recommendations. If you are looking for a stress free guide, she is your girl. My next stop is Hawaii and she is my girl for it.

“As someone who loves to travel, Sally has been both an inspiration and a great source of knowledge. She inspired me think outside of the box. Whether it be discovering travel destinations in my own backyard or courageously taking on the challenge of solo travel! (She encouraged me to take my first solo trip to Cuba) Sally is knowledgeable and passionate about travel. She exhibits this by willingly sharing her travel experiences to educate and assist fellow travelers"

"I reached out to Sally to put together an itinerary for my 50th birthday trip. I knew where I wanted to go and how I wanted the trip to feel like, but I’m terrible at planning things. From our very first conversation I was completely mesmerized by her interest in understanding the travel style, passions and interests of each person on the trip. I let her do her thing, and fully trusted her. Believe me when I tell you, every detail of the itinerary was thought out - from the minute of landing to takeoff; ground transportation, restaurant recommendations, shopping, R&R activities, sightseeing, nightlife etc. She even arranged a professional photo shoot with a local photographer. If you are thinking of taking a trip you’ll remember forever, do not board that flight or hit the road without talking to Sally. She’s put together itineraries for many of my other friends and delivered unique, personalized experience each time

“We love the itinerary that Ms. Sally made for my 40th birthday and wedding anniversary trip to Europe. Sally infuses her bubbly personality and deep knowledge of travel into planning. She is detailed and meticulous. She first gets to understand your travel style before making suggestions."
