I recently developed a custom vacation plan for VIP clients of mine, whom I've worked with countless times, the Moriarty family. With two teenage daughters and one younger son, the family enjoys an engaging vacation good for all ages. This family has children at just the right ages to enjoy lively historical tours through some of Europe's most ancient cities, with a focus on Paris and Rome. After making the most of every moment, the family gave me a recap of their wonderful adventures. Below is a synopsis from the family's unforgettable Parisian and Roman holiday!

Last October, I had the incredible joy of experiencing an African safari through Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana with our preferred partners at Abercrombie & Kent. As a leader within our Privileged Journeys luxury travel advisor team, I craft custom experiences for my discerning customers every day. Working alongside A&K on my own adventure was an exceptional process, even with my high expectations for the partners to whom I entrust my clients' (and my own) precious vacation time.

From the bustling city of Johannesburg to our quaint safari camps, A&K ensured even the tiniest of details were well thought through. Read on as Charlie (hubby) and I embark on our 10-day journey through Africa!

India is a destination hovering near the top of my bucket list for years. I was finally able to experience a taste of it with my Travel + Leisure Advisory Board colleagues for a week of unforgettable explorations from Delhi into the heart of Rajasthan. The T+L team brought together three competitive luxury hotel companies to host our group, hoping to raise awareness with our American clients of all their amazing properties and the unique immersion they offer our customers in India. These hotels specialize in service and will do everything in their power to ensure your vacation in India is truly incredible: The Leela Palaces; Oberoi Hotels & Resorts; Taj Palaces, Hotels, & Resorts.

Basking in the sun by the beautiful glittering waters of the Mediterranean and cavorting through cobblestone streets lined with blue and white houses is only the beginning of a dream vacation in Greece. The best way to experience all the isles have to offer, without the high season crowds of summer, is to grab some friends and visit in springtime. My girlfriends and I chose the month of April, and it was the perfect setting for our escape. Traveling through Greece during the shoulder season has limited choices for hotels and restaurants, but it's worth steering clear of the tourists who come ashore in droves each summer.
