I believe travel is about more than visiting beautiful places—it's about creating unforgettable memories with the people you love.
As your Caribbean travel expert, I take the time to get to know you, understand your travel style, and personally match you with the Caribbean destination, resort accommodations, and experiences that are the perfect fit for you. Whether you're celebrating a milestone, reconnecting with loved ones, or simply ready for a well-deserved escape, my goal is to make every vacation as seamless as it is unforgettable.
When I'm not planning dream vacations, I'm spending time with the people who matter most to me. I'm a proud wife, mother of two amazing daughters, and soon-to-be grandmother to twin grandsons.
Now, let me tell you how I became the "Caribbean Travel Queen."

Hey there! My name is Celeste, but my friends call me the "Caribbean Travel Queen". How did I get that title, you ask? Just a few years ago, a weekend trip to the Caribbean literally saved my marriage and my husband and I haven't stopped sneaking away together since!
But life for me hasn't always been first class flights and sea breezes. You see, by the age of 14 both my parents passed away and I had my first daughter when I was 16, way before MTV popularized being a teen mom!
Two years later, I met the man of my dreams and by the age of 23 we were married, had a second daughter, bought a house and a dog. Life came at us fast, and hard, but we loved every minute of it! We were passionate about building a life and family together.
And that's exactly what we did!
Our week days were a dizzying and exciting whirlwind of ballet recitals, track practice, cheerleading, volleyball and ice skating lessons. We enrolled our girls in orator programs, church youth groups, and college prep courses.
Our summers were filled with family trips to Disney, the Bahamas and oh so many adventures. We designed a life that revolved around raising two intelligent, well rounded and amazing girls. Then one day, I blinked and my eldest was off to college, I blinked again and the baby was headed to her college orientation!
Just like that, my husband and I were empty nesters and, sadly, we had grown apart but the worse thing was I didn't even know who I was anymore.
Instead of driving my daughters to after school activities I found myself driving to my attorney's office with a divorce decree in hand. I felt like my life was over.

Six months into our separation, while attending a counseling session, we decided to plan a romantic weekend trip to the Caribbean to get away from everything and reconnect. We lounged on the beach, sipped cocktails poolside, watched the sunset and talked about our goals and dreams and how much we meant to each other for the first time in years.
We loved it so much that every few months we planned mini vacations to explore different Islands and haven't stopped traveling since. We even created a blog for empty nest couples looking to reignite the spark back into their marriage through travel.
We've rekindled our relationship and found our love for travel together.

Now, when people ask us how did we make our marriage work, we smile and say travel saved our marriage! We've since renewed our vows in Jamaica and have been married for 33 years and counting.
Here's what I know to be true:
• There is life after your kids are gone.
• Traveling with your mate is one of the best, most rewarding ways to not only reconnect but to also learn about who they truly are.
• Travel doesn't have to break the bank! My hubby and I travel at least 4 times per year, and most of our trips are budge friendly. Although we do love to splurge on our anniversary trips.
Now that I've gotten Caribbean travel down to a science, my mission is to help other couples rediscover love through luxurious, romantic and FUN Caribbean getaways.

So, if you've always wanted to take that dream vacation but feel like you have too many bills, or if you've logged onto Facebook or Instagram and gazed at other's vacation photos and wish that it was you, or if you're in a marriage that has no romance or passion and you feel like you and your spouse are just roommates.

My real name is Celeste but my friends gave me the nickname Caribbean Travel Queen because my husband and I started traveling to the Caribbean every few months after my youngest daughter left for college.
I was born and raised in Newark, New Jersey, USA and as far as I know, I am not Caribbean. A few people from the islands, especially Jamaica have told me that I should check my heritage because as they say " I must have Caribbean ancestors".
I do. But my heart is in the Caribbean! When I'm not actually there, I'm either planning my next trip, talking about the Caribbean, or somewhere daydreaming about the Caribbean. I've been to several islands and there are so many more that I would love to explore.
After my youngest daughter left for college, my husband and I became empty nesters. Sadly, in the course of raising our children, we'd grown apart and found ourselves headed for divorce. As a last ditch effort to save our marriage, we decided to book a romantic trip to the Caribbean. We rekindled our relationship, fell in love all over again, and found our love for travel together, and haven't stopped since. I started the Caribbean Travel Queen because I believe the Caribbean is the most romantic and fun place in the world to relax, reconnect, and rekindle relationships. I want to show other empty nest couples that there is hope, and you can have a fun filled marriage after the kids are gone by going on more adventures together.
My favorite food is blue crabs. There have been times when I've eaten so many crabs in one sitting that I've had allergic reactions.
In high school I sang in a choir with Wyclef Jean from the group The Fugees. Our choir even traveled to California and won 1st place in a singing competition.
Even though I explore new places often, I have a fear of getting lost. I will have a panic attack even with a GPS if I don't know exactly where I'm going!
I took swimming lessons and learned to swim at the age of 40
My dream is to move to Cayman Islands full time and open up a chic beach boutique. If that doesn't pan out, plan B is to be the towel girl at the beach hut! 🙂
