Hi, I’m Mary, the person behind Tides and Tan Lines Vacations.  I’ve always loved having a vacation planned it gives me something to look forward to.  And honestly I enjoyed planning the trip almost as much as taking it.  I love thinking about where I’m going to go, what I am going to see, where I am going to eat, and all the little things I want to do once I get there.

​

 I have traveled across the country, and I love discovering new places, experiencing different cultures, trying local food, and making memories along the way.  But if there’s warm weather, sunshine, and water nearby, I’m probably going to be happy. 

That love of travel is a big part of why I became a travel advisor.  I specialize in cruises and coastal vacations, and I want to make planning your next adventure easier and a lot less overwhelming.  I’ll research the options, compare the details, ask the right questions you may not even ask, and narrow everything down based on what you want, what you need and what fits into your budget. 

​

I am a detailed person.  I like knowing how everything fits together, and I want to know what matters most to you.  What are you most excited about? What do you want to absolutely want to do and what you want to avoid.  And when you picture your vacation, what does it look like and how do you want to feel. 

​

Because your vacation shouldn’t feel like someone else’s idea of a perfect trip.  It should feel like yours.

And that’s my favorite part of what I do – taking all those ideas you have in your head and turning them into a vacation you can start looking forward to.
