FRAN BALIN

I’ve been an avid cruiser for years. It’s a wonderful, economical way to travel, and a great way to meet new friends. I've sailed on Celebrity, Princess, Norwegian Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, Viking and others.

I’ve also loved all things Disney, having visited Florida and California multiple times, gone on an Adventures by Disney trip, and sailed on Disney Cruise Line. I've enjoyed seeing Disney through the eyes of a child, and now that my daughter is grown, we've discovered the adult side of Disney, too.

And after finding myself writing pages-long emails to friends and family helping them plan their own trips, I knew I had found my calling. As a budget-conscious wife and busy dance mom, then college mom, and now empty nester, I know the challenges of time and money that arise when faced with the daunting task of choosing where to go and what to do on your hard-earned break. I've tackled them myself on my cruises, Caribbean getaways, European adventures, and Disney excursions! So sit back, relax, and let me take care of the details!
