About Me

Make the Most of Your Miami Pre-Cruise Stay. If you’re planning a Caribbean cruise departing from the Port of Miami, consider extending your vacation with a pre- or post-cruise stay in Miami. This vibrant, subtropical city is full of culture, flavor, and excitement, making it the perfect beginning or ending to your cruise adventure.

One of Miami’s most anticipated annual events is the Miami Spice Culinary Festival, which runs from August 1 to September 30. This two-month celebration gives visitors the chance to savor the city’s diverse culinary scene. Foodies in Miami can enjoy three-course meals crafted by world-renowned Michelin-starred chefs, all at incredible prices.

During my visit, I indulged in a stunning three-course seafood dinner that was as beautiful to look at as it was delicious to taste. Many of these participating restaurants are located in and around South Beach, where you can also visit the park featured in the filming of Miami Vice, a fun stop for TV and pop-culture fans.

Beyond Miami Spice, the city hosts events all year long. Another must-visit is the South Beach Wine and Food Festival – Taste of Miami, held every February. This four-day celebration features world-class chefs, wine tastings, exclusive dinners, and culinary masterclasses, all while supporting Florida International University’s culinary students.

For art lovers, Art Basel Miami Beach in December is a world-renowned event that brings together nearly 300 premier galleries from around the globe. The combination of international art and Miami’s iconic Art Deco architecture makes it a feast for the eyes, and a perfect spot to capture unforgettable group photos before your cruise.

Whether you’re sailing before or after exploring the city, Miami offers the perfect mix of flavor, art, and culture. Treat yourself to the best of both worlds, the magic of Miami and the beauty of the Caribbean.

Contact me today, and I’ll help you find the best hotel near the Port of Miami and plan the ideal Miami pre-cruise experience to kick off your next unforgettable vacation.

The All Inclusive Vacation was wonderful.
Reviewed By Fun in the sun - Brentwood, Tennessee | Traveled to Los Cabos | Baja California Sur | Mexico
Jo Ann helped my husband and I book a stay at Paradisus in Los Cabos at an adults only all inclusive resort. Our main goal was to golf and relax by the pool afterwards. The dining was excellent. She listened to my wishlist and gave us the best vacation and we will reach out to her the next time we travel. Liv D

The views of St. Lucia are the best!
Reviewed By Sunny Skies - Franklin, Tennessee | Traveled to Saint Lucia | St. Kitts and Nevis | Caribbean
We worked with Jo Ann to find a beach spot in the Caribbean that we had never visited before. Jo Ann picked just the right spot for us at Jade Mountain Resort in St. Lucia. The resort was breathtaking and accommodated all our needs. We consider ourselves foodies and the dining here was amazing, especially during sunset when there was such a amazing view. We can’t wait to go back to this resort and will contact her for the next stunning vacation. Michelle T

Best family vacation ever!
Reviewed By Peters Family - Nashville, Tennessee | Traveled to Punta Cana | Dominican Republic | Caribbean
We had a family vacation before school started back and were undecided where to go. We reached out to Jo Ann and she suggested Nickelodeon Hotels in Punta Cana in the Caribbean. She made sure our travel itinerary went smoothly, as we had several young children. The kids loved everything about it, we had had access to the waterpark, a lot of fun activities for the kids and especially meeting the characters. Lydia P

Nashville rocks!
Reviewed By Mom of Many Runners - Fort Wayne, Indiana | Traveled to Nashville | Tennessee | USA
We visited Nashville recently to cheer on my daughter in the Rock and Roll Marathon and let Jo Ann book our trip. She suggested a few tourist spots while we were there, we saw a concert and visited a few attractions, and took a boat ride on the river. We had a great time and the suggestions she made allowed us to take the worry out of planning and have a fun trip.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Celebrating our anniversary in the Dominican Republic
Reviewed By Tammy S - Winter Park, Florida | Traveled to Dominican Republic | Caribbean
My husband and I were interested in visiting the Caribbean for our anniversary. Jo Ann suggested Secrets Cap Cana Resort & Spa, an adults only resort that was All-Inclusive. We were extremely happy with the resort along the way, and they took care of all our needs. We relaxed and ate plenty of good food and soaked up the sunshine. We had a wonderful time while we were there. We would recommend this resort and her to anyone!
