Antigua Honeymoon
Kristina D.
"Our trip was absolutely incredible! We really appreciated how smoothly our trip began; upon arriving the pre-arranged transportation was a breeze and everyone we encountered, especially our driver, was so warm and friendly. The resort was an absolute dream--the staff greeted us with smiles and a drink and made sure we had nothing to worry about. They took care of everything without hesitation . Our room was fabulous with with flower petals and a bottle of bubbly were waiting to welcome us to paradise. The trip continued to impress and amaze us--the location and view was surreal, the food and drinks were to die for, and the amenities and the accommodations were top notch. We enjoyed a combination of relaxing on the beach or by the pool, taking advantage of the paddle boards and kayaks, and excursions like scooter snorkeling and a catamaran trip. I could gush on and on; this was the honeymoon of our dreams. Thank you so much for all your assistance in making our dreams come true! "

I remember when I first started working in travel, two of my colleagues—both who are now dear friends—were headed on a FAM trip to South Africa. At the time, I was brand new to the industry, pregnant with a toddler at home, and honestly, felt like that was a lifetime away. I would never be […]
