You are busy mom – I get it!  Between running the kids to baseball & dance lessons, making sure all of the homework is done, the house is clean, everyone is fed, and actually getting your own work finished… you don’t have the time or energy to figure out your next family vacation all on your own.

That’s where I come in!  I do the planning; you get the credit.

Hello!  My name is Dawne Barnes.  I was born & raised in the Pittsburgh area and, much like many other yinzers, I left town for several years but came back to raise my family surrounded by loved ones in my hometown.  After 19 years as a journalist, I have transformed my amazing researching skills into travel planning.

I love being a mom, but I know the unique challenges that come with it.  You are always working to please everyone.  And when it comes to your family vacation that usually means struggling to find something that everyone will enjoy, am I right?

I have traveled to the places you want to visit with your family.  From the magic of Walt Disney World to the beautiful all-inclusive Beaches Resorts in the Caribbean – I can put together the vacation you are looking for.  My job is to listen to what you want & then make it a reality.  I like to think of myself as your own, personal Fairy-Godmother.  From finding the right resort for your family to airport transfers & dining – I will handle it all. 

BONUS: I am always looking out for the best deals – because who doesn’t love a good deal?!
