Make one great vacation decision.
Cruises, Disney, Universal and all-inclusive resorts. I am based near Boston and I plan trips for families all over the country. Tell me what you are considering and I will tell you honestly what fits and what does not.
I don't guess
Where I have been, and where I am going.
I have cruised most of the major lines. I have been to Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando many, many times. I have stayed in the resorts, toured the hotels, and visited the attractions, both in the US and internationally.
I fly constantly. I also love a train. I once took one from Boston to Arizona, and another from San Francisco to Chicago.
None of that makes me right about your vacation. It just means that when I tell you something, it usually comes from having been there.
A few recent trips, plus what is on my calendar next.

What this actually sounds like
The advice, not the sales pitch.
On reading the fine print
Start planning with me →I spent an hour proving a hotel’s website wrong about its own rooms. The cheap suite everyone finds online has a bedroom “separated” by a decorative screen. Not a door. A screen.
On choosing a cabin
Read the cabin guide →Whenever possible, I like a cabin with other cabins directly above and below it.
On what a cruise really costs
Read the cost guide →Price the bundled fare against the base fare plus only the extras you would actually buy. More included does not always mean better value.
What kind of vacation are you planning?
Choose the vacation that fits your life.
Already know where you're going, or still weighing it up? Either way, I'll help you work out what actually fits.
Cruises
First cruise or fifteenth, the right ship matters more than the right brand. I'll help you choose the line, the ship, the itinerary and the cabin, not just the popular one.

Disney Destinations
Resorts, Lightning Lanes, dining, and the decisions that are hard to undo. I've been many times and I'll tell you what is worth the money.
Explore Disney →
Universal
Epic Universe changed the math on how many days you need. I'll help you get the most out of your time without overcomplicating it.
Explore Universal →
All-Inclusive Resorts
Adults-only or full of kids, the right resort is the one that suits your group. Not the one everyone is posting about.

If you are in New England, there is something I can do that most advisors cannot.
I plan vacations for families all over the country. But I live twenty minutes from Flynn Cruiseport, I've sailed from the Northeast, and I keep a running calendar of every ship leaving this city.
If you would rather not start your vacation at an airport, that is a real option here and most people do not know how good it is.
Featured Boston cruise
Walk on in Boston. Sail off to Bermuda.
Norwegian Breakaway | April 18–25, 2027
Sail round-trip from Boston to Halifax and Bermuda during Massachusetts school vacation week. Seven nights, two destinations, three sea days, and zero airports.
I've created a full guide with the itinerary, weather tips, FAQs, planning advice, and a private Facebook community for this sailing.
