Chelsea helped tremendously. Always answered all my questions and woke up early to be sure I got all my bookings that I wanted. She helped ensure my family had the most magical Christmas vacation! Definitely recommend!! -Nick
Jamaica Family Christmas
I booked our first vacation for me and 9 family members with Chelsea to Jamaica for Christmas. I can truthfully say it was the best vacation ever!! Prior to selecting the resort, she sent several options for us to consider. Once we made a decision, she took it from there. She did everything for us from making sure we had all information we needed in the trip app, setting up club Mobay which made getting through customs seamless as well as keeping in contact with me on forms needed for traveling to Jamaica. Once our trip began, she checked in with me on each leg of the trip to see if there was anything that she could assist us with. I am already working with Chelsea on our first cruise in March. I not only consider Chelsea a great travel agent, but a friend! -Linda
Spain Family Vacation
âThis trip was so pleasant and stress free! Chelsea was very helpful and easy to get in touch with. She responded quickly to questions we had. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking to traveling out of the country to use her to assist you. Weâll be definitely use her again for future trips!!â -Keila
âWow, wow, WOW. I have no words for how wonderful our family-of-six trip to Italy was over the Holidays. The thing is, I could have planned a few apartments/airline tickets/etc on my own without realizing all that we were missing. Instead, I decided that I wanted to go all in on this Christmas present to my kids and hired Chelsea to take care of the foot work-- AND SHE DID. This trip was so much more than I could have ever thought it could be. My kids learned about history, participated in cooking classes, and dined at phenomenal restaurants. I didn't have to worry about tickets, reservations, transfers, baggage storage... we literally just showed up where we needed to show up. And when I did need help (I'm so sorry, Chelsea!) and messaged her at 2am her time, she responded quickly and took something that was meaningful to me (like laundry), and made it her personal mission to get a solution for us. Thank goodness I hired Chelsea for this trip. We would have never known how spectacular our trip could have been if we didn't.â -Marisa
Using a Disney Travel Agent
I recently just spent 4 days at Walt Disney World. This is my first time using a travel agent for Disney and I cannot speak more highly of Chelsea. She responded to me within minutes of wanting to book the trip and had 6 different offers for me to choose from and made sure we had the best deal! She linked the reservation for me and offered to help book my food reservations for me. This was a last minute trip and she even made sure I would still be able to get the magic bands. She did all of this for us within one day. She checked in with me leading up to the trip and almost everyday we were there! I already have three other trips she is planning for us and will never plan a trip without her ever again!! đđ -Nichole Cambrige
Isla Mujeres
We canât thank Chelsea enough for her help in planning our vacation to Isla Mujeres. We never had to think about a thing everything was taken care of for us in our itinerary. She helped arrange requests with our butlers, and helped with recommendations on places to visit while there. We had a wonderful time and weâll definitely use Chelsea for our future trip planning! ~The Hillâs -Deanna Hill
Cancun Getaway
Chelsea McDonnell has been absolutely fabulous to work with! She is extremely knowledgeable about everything from flight coordination to hotels to things to do. She worked to find a resort that fit our exact needs and was always happy to do more research when we changed our minds! She also provided us with information on excursions and how to book. It truly made the process very stress free! Also, having all of my travel info in one central location (app) is so helpful! I donât have to be searching for several different emails!
Thanks again, Chelsea. We will definitely be reaching out for future travel as well! -Alexa Carrasco

First time Iâve ever used a travel agent to go to Disney and let me tell you what, Chelsea McDonell did not disappoint!!! She was on top of everything!

I cannot say enough good things about my experience. 5 out of 5 recommended!!
Europeâs cities are known for their cobblestone streets and efficient public transportation systems, so packing light is key. A carry-on-sized bag makes it easier to move between destinations. Comfortable shoes are just as important, as many of Europeâs best attractions are best explored on foot. Whether you're sightseeing or hopping on a train, youâll want shoes that are stylish yet supportive for long days of walking.
Tip: Invest in a versatile carry-on bag and comfortable walking shoes. Stick to neutral colors for easy outfit combinations, and make sure your shoes are durable enough for long walks.
2. Use Public Transportation
Europeâs public transport system is among the best in the world. Trains, buses, metros, and even trams are an affordable and efficient way to get around. Itâs also an eco-friendly alternative to taxis and rental cars. Many cities offer multi-day passes that provide unlimited travel within a certain area, saving you both time and money.
Tip: Download local transportation apps like CityMapper to navigate public transport with ease.
3. Learn Basic Phrases in the Local Language
While many Europeans speak English, especially in tourist-heavy areas, learning a few basic phrases in the local language can go a long way. A simple 'Hello,' 'Thank you,' or 'Please' in the native language shows respect for the culture and can help you make a positive impression.
Tip: Focus on greetings, ordering food, and asking for directions in each country you visit.
4. Embrace the Local Cuisine (But Watch Your Portions)
One of the highlights of any European vacation is the food! From pasta in Italy to tapas in Spain, European cuisine is world-famous. However, portions can be generous, especially in countries like Italy and France, so donât overdo it. Enjoy smaller portions at local cafes or street vendors to try a variety of dishes.
Tip: Try local street food for an authentic experienceâitâs often cheaper and just as delicious!
5. Be Mindful of Tourist Scams
Unfortunately, every popular tourist destination has its share of scams. Whether itâs overpriced souvenirs, fake tickets, or pickpockets, itâs essential to stay alert. Keep your belongings secure and be cautious when approached by overly friendly strangers.
Tip: Use a money belt or neck pouch for your passport, cards, and cash. Avoid carrying large amounts of money in your pockets.
6. Plan Your Itinerary in Advance (But Leave Room for Spontaneity)
Europe has so much to offer that it can be overwhelming to decide what to see. Create a rough itinerary with a list of must-see attractions and activities. But donât overbook yourselfâleave space for unplanned adventures, like wandering through hidden alleys or exploring a local market.
Tip: Book tickets for popular attractions (like the Eiffel Tower or the Colosseum) in advance to skip the long lines.
I specialize in planning stress-free, unforgettable European vacations tailored to your interests. Whether you're headed to the romantic streets of Paris, the history-packed cities of Rome, or the scenic countryside of Spain, I am here to help you make the most of your trip.

As a travel agent, Iâve had the pleasure of experiencing various types of travel, but nothing quite compares to the unique charm of river cruising. I recently embarked on an unforgettable 8-day journey on the Amadeus River Cruises' Classic Danube, which took me from the vibrant city of Budapest to the picturesque town of Passau. This trip not only showcased stunning landscapes and rich cultural heritage but also provided an exceptional onboard experience that I can't wait to share.
A Journey Through History and Beauty
From the moment I stepped on board, I was captivated by the ship's elegance and cleanliness. Amadeus is a family-owned company, and this dedication to providing a personal touch is evident in every detail. The spacious cabins featured comfortable beds and generously sized showersâperfect for unwinding after a day of exploration.
One of the highlights of this cruise was the dining experience. Each evening, I savored a delectable three-course meal, prepared with fresh, local ingredients. The fact that I had the same waiter throughout the cruise was a delightful touch; they quickly learned my preferences, making each meal feel personal. Plus, complimentary wine and beer at lunch and dinner elevated the culinary experience, allowing me to indulge in the region's finest offerings.
Longer Stays in Port: A Deeper Connection
Unlike ocean cruising, where the ship often docks for a few hours, river cruising allows for longer stays in port. This meant I could explore the charming towns along the Danube at a more leisurely pace, immersing myself in their culture, history, and local traditions. From the stunning architecture of Budapest to the fairy-tale ambiance of Regensburg, each destination offered something unique.
The excursions were thoughtfully curated, allowing us to delve into the history and culture of each city. Whether it was a guided tour through the stunning Buda Castle or a leisurely stroll along the Danube in Passau, every experience was enriching.
River Cruising vs. Ocean Cruising
While both river and ocean cruising offer unique experiences, the differences are striking. Ocean cruises often involve large ships with a myriad of onboard activities, catering to a wide range of interests. In contrast, river cruising provides an intimate atmosphere, with smaller ships that can access ports that larger vessels cannot. This leads to a more personalized experience and a greater sense of community among passengers.
Additionally, river cruises often focus more on the destinations themselves. With fewer distractions onboard, the emphasis is placed on exploring the history and culture of each port, which I found incredibly rewarding.
Book Your Own Amadeus River Cruise
If you're considering a unique travel experience that combines stunning scenery, rich culture, and exceptional service, I highly recommend exploring Amadeus River Cruising. Whether youâre a seasoned traveler or planning your first river cruise, this experience is sure to leave a lasting impression.
As a travel agent, Iâd love to help you plan your own adventure on the Classic Danube or another incredible itinerary. With the beauty of Europeâs rivers waiting to be explored, itâs the perfect time to embark on your journey. Letâs connect and create the perfect travel experience tailored just for you!
Happy travels, and I hope to see you on the river!
