Florida's gorgeous white sand, Gulf Coast beaches are unmatched in beauty and relaxation! Perfect for family vacations, destination weddings, honeymoons, anniversary getaways, and on the beach bachelor and bachelorette parties, Florida offers extensive shopping options; broad local and international cuisine choices; luxury resorts; affordable, family-friendly locations; wedding and event venues; and impeccable views you will never forget! Whether you're looking for the dream Disney vacation, a serene beach getaway, or a unique adventure of a lifetime, Florida has you covered!
One of the premier vacation destinations in North America with good reason, Florida is a dream vacation waiting to happen. People from all over the country—even the world—flock to this Gulf Coast State, and not just for Disney! While Disney is among the top destinations in the state, especially among families with children, there is so much more of Florida to add to your itinerary. Just in the Orlando area, you don’t want to miss out on Universal, SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, or other more budget friendly day pass options like the Fun Spot! Hit up the outlets and malls nearby to add great shopping to your experience. The options are many, but they don’t stop there! Hundreds of miles of dreamy beach getaways dot the Florida coast. St. Augustine, Palm Coast, Daytona Beach, Melbourne, Port St. Lucie, West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Ft. Lauderdale, and Miami hold up the East Coast and have rightly earned the reputation as some of the premier beaches in North America. Especially famous for its diverse cuisine and exciting night life, Miami is a top destination for honeymoons, bachelor parties, and girlfriend getaways. Cape Canaveral is a great option for vacationers of all ages! The kids will love the Cape Canaveral Space Force Museum, the John F. Kennedy Space Center, and the chance to see a rocket launch (and the adults will think it’s pretty cool, too!). The Gulf Coast of Florida boasts its own well-loved beaches. Sarasota, Clearwater, and St. Pete are among the more popular, but don’t overlook the panhandle beaches that locals say are the best in the state—Panama City Beach, Destin, Pensacola Beach, and Perdido Key. These fluffy white sand beaches offer just as luxurious accomodations and dining options as well as nearby attractions, shopping, historic fortresses, and plenty of beachside activities!
Florida is a must-add location for your bucket list. Maybe it's been there all along. Whether you're considering Florida for the first time, or you've been dreaming of Florida for a lifetime, now is the time to make those dreams a reality by planning a trip that will be absolutely unforgettable. The temperate climate year round makes this a great option for any time of year—Christmas on the beach, spring break, summer vacation, fall family gathering, or any time in between. Any time is a great time to visit this American gem!

One of the most remarkable hidden gems in the US has to be South Dakota! Known primarily for Mt. Rushmore, South Dakota has so many more incredible locations that await your discovery! Don’t get me wrong—Mt. Rushmore is a must while you are in South Dakota. It’s an incredible monument that really does elicit reflection on some of the men that were instrumental in the founding and development of America as a sovereign nation. There is ample seating and shows throughout the year preformed at this US landmark. But Mt. Rushmore is just the start of an incredible experience that your South Dakota vacation will become! The Iron Mountain Highway crawls up the neighboring hills and gives a stunning view of Mt. Rushmore—more than once! In fact, the road’s design is a lesser known architectural marvel. Carved stone arches perfectly outline Mt. Rushmore, giving the visitor a photo op they’ll look back on forever!
Another non-negotiable for your travel itinerary is the absolutely incredible Badlands. Badlands National Park offers a well-maintained drive through the carved out clay figures, plentiful pull of spots for photo opportunities or the chance to simply take it all in, and a prime chance to spot local wildlife (and even get close to some of the wildlife!). Buffalo, antelope, and bighorn sheep are among the most likely spottings. Badlands National Park is a stop you will not want to pass up on!
The view from Black Elk Peak (the highest point in the US east of the Rockies!) is absolutely breathtaking for the mountain climber, hiker, or backpacker looking for an unforgettable trek! Multiple trail options will give everyone a chance to hike this beautiful wilderness area and experience South Dakotan nature from the middle of it all. The scramble to Little Devil’s Tower rewards hikers with incredible panoramic views of the surrounding hills and valleys and excellent photo opportunities.
If South Dakota isn’t on the docket for future travels, this is your sign to add it! There is endless exploring for the history buff (you've go to check out Deadwood, the Wild Western gambling town where Wild Bill Hickock and Calamity Jane are laid to rest!); endless activites for the outdoor enthusiast (horseback riding, fishing, hunting, hiking just get you started!); and endless excitement for the seasoned traveler looking for a whole new experience. Add South Dakota to your bucket list, and it will not disappoint.

The Maritime Museum of the Atlantic offers the visitor a look at all the historical stops along the way that molded Nova Scotian culture. The Halifax Citadel National Historic Site is a must for history buffs. At the fortress, they can learn history from the area, view military reenactments, experience great views of the city, and even attend events—the Citadel is a popular event venue!
Farther south, the coastal fishing villages of Lunenburg, Digby, and Yarmouth give the visitor a glimpse of the livelihood that generations of Nova Scotians have claimed as their own—fishing. Grab a pole and find a charter to experience it yourself! You can enjoy the cuisine in many small “hole in the wall” places that have been doing it right for years. The charm of a small ocean village is a great stop for your itinerary. Or visit the beautiful Annapolis Valley for a look at the agricultural livelihood Nova Scotians have depended on for years.
Whether you choose the bustling city center, or the quaint hidden village, Nova Scotia will charm you with its rich history, interesting culture, and beautiful surroundings.

Planned a long trip, and last year trying to don't myself was a huge headache. This year I asked Mackenzie to help me, and it was completely hassle free. She is very quick and efficient with a great personality for working g with people. Makes things very easy for me to understand. It was the best I have ever used. And I have traveled quite a bit.
Went to Alabama for my graduation ?????, all 9 of us. All activities including the beach house were arranged by Makenzie. Hassle free. Every step of the process was carefully arranged. We will definitely use her services in the future!
Thanks to Mackenzie, we were able to take a trip to Orlando and visit Sea World and Busch Gardens. Normally we wouldn't have been able to do both, but she found us tickets for a great price! I will absolutely be using her again!
I recently went on a small family vacation to Orlando, Fl. With it being such a large and touristy area, I wanted to make sure I got the best experience with the best deals. Mackenzie was an excellent resource for us! Not only did she find us the best bargains, but we had a wonderful experience! I could tell immediately that she was gonna do her research and put our desires first. We are definitely planning on reaching out to her from now on for any future trips! It’s a comfort to know that she cares that you and your family have the best travel experience.
We had a great time on our South Dakota trip! Mackenzie definitely did her research, and we were able to fit in all the things that we wanted to do on this trip. Horseback riding, Mount Rushmore, the Badlands, hiking in Custer State Park, as well as many beautiful drives. The thoughtfulness put into our vacation was obvious. We will absolutely be getting Mackenzie to plan other vacations in the future!
