I believe planning your vacation should be almost as exciting as taking it.
From Disney getaways and cruises to Alaska, Europe and those bucket-list trips you've been talking about for years, I help turn “we should really do that someday” into an actual plan.
You bring me the ideas — even if they're still a little scattered — and I'll help you sort through the options, work through the details and create a vacation that makes sense for you.
Welcome to Mabel's Passport Club — where your next adventure starts with a conversation.
“A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.” — Proverbs 16:9
I'm naturally a planner, researcher and list-maker — the person who actually enjoys digging into the details everyone else gets tired of looking at.
Give me 15 hotel options, three cruise itineraries, a handful of excursions and a dozen opinions from the internet, and I'm perfectly happy sorting through all of it to figure out what actually makes sense.
That's a big part of why I started Mabel's Passport Club.
I don't believe there's one "perfect" vacation that works for everyone. The right trip depends on who's traveling, what matters to you, how you like to spend your time and what you want to come home remembering.
So I ask questions. I research. I compare. And yes, I probably make a list.
Then we turn all those possibilities into a trip that feels like yours.
There are a few kinds of trips I especially love planning.
🚢 Cruises
Caribbean escapes, Alaska, Europe and beyond — including helping you sort through ships, itineraries, cabins and all those choices that can make cruise planning surprisingly complicated.
🏰 Disney & Florida
I’m a Florida girl, so vacations in my own backyard have a special place here — from Disney vacations to cruises leaving from Florida and everything in between.
🏔️ Alaska & Cruisetours
For travelers who want more than just the ports, Alaska cruisetours combine cruising with time on land to experience even more of the destination.
🌍 Europe
Italy is still high on my own list, and my dream is to spend two months exploring Europe. Until then, I’m perfectly happy helping other people plan their European adventures.
And if the destination on your bucket list isn't on this list? Ask me. That's half the fun.
Dream trip: 2 months exploring Europe
Favorite vacation: Eastern Caribbean Cruise
Window or aisle: Window
Beach or mountains: Little of both
Cruise or resort: Cruise
Always in my suitcase: Phone Charger
Destination I can't wait to visit: Italy
Vacation-planning personality: Research first. Spreadsheet probably involved
You have a running list of places you swear you’re going to visit one day.
You love traveling but don't necessarily want to spend your evenings opening 37 browser tabs comparing hotels.
You'd rather have someone you can actually talk to when you have a question.
You want recommendations based on your family, budget and travel style rather than whatever happens to be trending online.
And most importantly, you're ready to turn at least one of those “someday” trips into “we're going.”
So, Where Are We Going?
You don't need to have every detail figured out before contacting me.
Tell me what you're dreaming about — even if all you know is “I want to take my family somewhere amazing next summer.”
We’ll figure out the rest together.
Tell me your idea → I’ll research the possibilities → We’ll build your trip → You pack your bags.
Your next stamp in your passport has to start somewhere.
