Ready for the ultimate blend of sea, sun, and adventure? Let me take you on a whirlwind journey where the only thing on your to-do list is relaxing and soaking in paradise's magic.
This is my dream-worthy 21-day vacation plan—a seamless mix of luxury cruising, road-tripping through the Florida Keys, and indulging in all-inclusive bliss in Los Cabos.
Here’s how I turned MY travel dreams into 21 days of unforgettable memories:
Days 1–5: Set Sail on Virgin Voyages
I kicked off my adventure with a 5-day cruise on Virgin Voyages, the epitome of laid-back luxury. This isn’t your average cruise—it’s adults-only, meaning peace, quiet, and a side of glamour. The ship itself is like a floating boutique hotel, complete with incredible dining, rooftop lounges, personal hammock on the Sea Terrace and even yoga on deck.
From sipping cocktails under the stars to exploring tropical ports, these first five days were the perfect way to hit the reset button and start my vacation stress-free.
Days 6–8: Road Tripping Through the Florida Keys
After disembarking in Miami, it was time to trade ship decks for open roads. I set out on the iconic Overseas Highway, a bucket-list road trip that’s as much about the journey as the destination.
Key Largo: First stop? Snorkelling in John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park and savouring my first (of many) slices of key lime pie.
Islamorada: At Robbie’s Marina, I fed the leaping tarpon—trust me, it’s an experience you can’t miss—and then unwound with a cocktail at Lorelei Restaurant.
Marathon & Big Pine Key: The drive across the Seven Mile Bridge was breathtaking. I made a pit stop to visit the Turtle Hospital and spotted adorable Key deer at Bahia Honda State Park.
Finally, I landed in Key West, where life is colourful, quirky, and delightfully laid-back. Between sunset sails, mojitos on Duval Street, and a quick hello to Hemingway’s six-toed cats, I soaked up every bit of this island paradise.
Days 9–15: All Aboard the Sun Princess
Next up, I boarded the brand-new Sun Princess for a 7-day cruise that redefined elegance at sea. From stunning ocean views to world-class dining, it was an escape into pure relaxation. Whether lounging on my private balcony or dancing under the stars, every moment onboard felt like a celebration.
The Love Brito Restaurant on the Sun Princess is my new favourite because it’s a true celebration of Latin fusion cuisine, blending bold flavours with fresh, local ingredients. From the first bite of their signature empanadas to the last sip of a perfectly paired mojito, every dish feels like a culinary adventure. The vibrant atmosphere, with lively music and colourful décor, adds an extra layer of magic to the dining experience. Plus, the service is exceptional—friendly, attentive, and always ready with the perfect recommendation!
I couldn’t resist the comfy life and showed up to the late-night comedy show in my PJs, much to my hubby’s horror. His face turned fifty shades of red as the spotlight hit us, and the comedian couldn’t help but crack a joke about my “relaxed dress code.” By the end of the night, even he was laughing—because nothing says vacation like embracing your inner goofball!
With the Princess Plus package and fast Wi-Fi, I could still craft beautiful, bespoke trips for my clients while enjoying the serene comfort of my cove balcony. From answering emails to fine-tuning itineraries, I stayed connected without missing a single ocean breeze. It was the perfect blend of work and play—styling dream vacations while living one of my own!
Plus, the ship’s thoughtfully curated ports of call gave me a taste of Caribbean beauty—think powdery beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant local cultures.
Days 16–20: Los Cabos Training Trip at Sandos Finisterra & The Krystal Grand
The final leg of my journey took me to Los Cabos for an unforgettable training trip, where I spent five days immersed in specialized resort training with fellow travel advisors. Our base was the beautiful Sandos Finisterra, nestled between dramatic cliffs and the Pacific Ocean, offering the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. After three days at Sandos, we moved to Krystal Grand for two more days of hands-on learning and resort exploration.
Throughout the trip, we experienced everything Cabo has to offer—morning yoga overlooking the ocean, exploring the lively streets of Cabo San Lucas, and enjoying the region’s vibrant nightlife. Gourmet dining and cocktails under the stars were the perfect end to each day, and the spa was pure bliss. This immersive training gave us invaluable knowledge and firsthand experiences to bring back to our clients, all while indulging in the luxury and beauty of Los Cabos!
Day 21: Home, Refreshed and Rejuvenated
As I boarded my flight back home, I felt something I hadn’t felt in a while: total relaxation. This 21-day adventure wasn’t just a vacation but a journey to rediscover the art of unwinding, exploring, and living in the moment.
