My Favorite Luggage from Halsea

One of the perks of owning a Caribbean Travel company is being gifted with so many travel and beach themed goodies. I relish the thoughtfulness put into the gifts sent my way from family, friends, clients, and vendors. Each one helps keep the island vibe alive in my daily life.

One of my favorites was a Tote from Halsea. Check out their entire collection here.

15 Prettiest Island Rooms

My days are hectic at this time of year. It seems everyone is waiting longer and longer before taking the plunge and booking their warm weather getaway and I have to scramble to keep up and secure last minute space at often near capacity hotels. Some days it gets to be too much. I spin my chair around, away from the bright computer screen and glance out the window at the lake behind my house and I wonder why I ever changed course from med school to travel consultant? Que??? I never let these thoughts take up too much space in my brain before I close my eyes and envision a room just as this... A breezy, clutter free, escape bathed in white linen with little splashes of tropical color. Yes, one day all this selling of travel will pay off and I will have my own little private escape. In the meatime, thank goodness for sources such as Coastal Living and their lovely little collections of rooms just like this:

Reason #4356 Why I Love Jamaica

The luxurious Round Hill is home to many designer villas. After all, Ralph Lauren owns a home here and played a part in the decor of the common areas so the property is synonymous with classic island style. Surely to impress, is this lovely villa decorated by Meg Braff, featured in Coastal Living, and first spotted by Moi, right here. {her smart little remarks fill you with a "be here now" moment or two}

If ever you should lose me and wonder where I am... if only.
