How It Works
What it costs, what happens after you reach out, and what I take care of along the way.
Pricing
For most trips, nothing extra. Here’s how I’m paid.
No planning fee
For cruises, resort stays, tours and prebuilt packages, the cruise line, resort or tour company pays me a commission. There’s no planning fee to you, and you typically pay the same price you’d see booking direct.
Planning fee applies
Trips that combine several destinations or suppliers, or that I build from scratch, take far more planning time, so a planning fee applies. I tell you the amount, what it covers and when it’s due, in writing, before I start any work.
The process
Use the contact form, send your Matchmaker Tool results, or text me. Tell me who’s going, roughly when, and what you’re picturing.
I’ll reply with any questions and let you know up front if your trip has a planning fee.
I send options based on real availability, each with its total price, taxes and fees included, so you can compare them side by side.
I book and confirm everything with the supplier, and I’m a text away while you travel if plans change.
Staying in touch
Most of my planning happens by email and text, so everything is in writing and easy to find later. Text me at (208) 614-3715 or email escape@livethedaydreams.com. While you’re traveling, texting is the fastest way to reach me.

Questions people ask
Not for standard bookings. Suppliers pay me a commission, so you typically pay the same price as booking direct. Only custom or multi-stop trips carry a planning fee, and you’ll know the amount before I start.
Yes. Tell me what you’ve found and I can check the details, suggest better options, and book it so you have someone to turn to if something goes wrong.

Text me. I’ll work with the cruise line, hotel or tour company to sort it out, or help you figure out next steps.
I recommend it for every trip, and I can quote a plan alongside your booking. Whether to buy it is always your choice.
For holidays, summer travel and the most popular cruises and resorts, start 6 to 12 months ahead for the best choice. Many trips can come together in a few months. Prices are subject to change until booked.
