Florida, Travel

It’s my favorite time of year – oh wait that’s summer. Okay my favorite time of the non-summer part of the year – time for our annual family trip to Southwest Florida! Long time readers know that’s my happy place. I mean there are so many great things to do in Naples, fun stuff in Ft. Myers and so many unique things to do in Southwest Florida. But do you know what I really love about this area – the beaches. Some of the best in the world, and right here in the good ol’ USA. Which is why as I start packing my swimsuit and sunscreen, I am so excited to give you this list of the best beaches in Naples Florida.

So, I decided to share with you all a list of my favorite comedy movies that inspire travel.

I love Milan. I have been several times now and on our most recent visit,  we got to really explore all over the  city! I think Milan is often overlooked by tourists, despite having so much to see and  do. I love the city atmosphere and the cosmopolitan feel of  Milan. My  family  had a  great visit and  I’m so excited to share things to do in Milan with kids and a three day itinerary to help you plan your next trip!

Hi friends. First and foremost, I hope everyone is okay, at home reading this, dreaming of the day this nightmare is over and they can get down to planning their next vacation. Stay home, stay safe and lets ride this out so we can get back to life! But I wanted to pop on here and create an informative post based on many of the questions I have been receiving from clients and friends regarding travel and vacation plans in the light of the uncertainties regarding the global pandemic we are now facing.

I recently sailed on my first Disney Cruise! Of course, it was amazing, but before sailing I did a ton of research regarding what to expect and what to pack. I wanted to be super prepared for all the fun, and unlike a land trip, you can’t just run to the store if you forget something during your cruise vacation. My family had the best time on the Disney Wonder and I am excited to share what to pack for a Disney Cruise!

Since we visit Southwest Florida at least once a year we are always on the hunt for new things to do – and I’m always looking to tour some of the local hotels to help plan Florida trips for clients. On my recent trip to Naples, Florida I looked at staying a night at the Hyatt Regency in Coconut Point, but the rate was over $600 for one night – this was for a weekday in January! Instead, I decided to by a day pass to Hyatt Regency Coconut Point to spend the day using the waterpark and pool facilities. Baby girl and I had such a great day and I’m excited to share my Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Day Pass review with you!

For our February break, we booked a Disney Cruise out of New Orleans. Wanting to explore NOLA a little more, we flew to New Orleans a few days before our Disney Wonder cruise. I had been to New Orleans in my early 20’s but had never been with the kids. I was excited to show them this cool city and do some sightseeing. We only had two nights in NOLA, so I knew I wanted to do an organized tour where we could hit the highlights and learn a bit about this intriguing city. I was so excited to partner with French Quartour kids to learn more about the family friendly tours they offer and participate in their tour designed just for tweens!

Momma To Go would like to thank French Quartour kids for hosting us in New Orleans. We were given a complimentary tour for purpose of this review. As always, all opinions are my own.

The Bahamas is a wonderful place to vacation and a short flight from the East Coast of the United States (about 2.5 hours from New York). The Bahamas is a country made up of 700 islands spanning some 760 miles, but most US tourists fly into Nassau on the island of New Providence. Here (and on the adjoining Paradise Island accessible by a car bridge) there are so many great resorts, ones to fit every type of traveler and budget. With some many great hotel options, I was  excited to be one of the lucky travel agents recently invited to tour Nassau with the Bahamas Tourism Board. On this trip, we toured eight different hotels giving me a much better idea of what properties would best suit what client. I am so excited to share these best hotels in Nassau, Bahamas with you!
