Hi, I’m Angie — but most people know me as Gigi. After decades of raising my family and planning every detail of our getaways — from beach trips to many US road trips — I realized just how much joy comes from helping others create those same kinds of memories.
Once I became an empty nester, I decided to turn my lifelong love of travel into something bigger. That’s when Gigi’s Grande Getaways was born.
Travel has always been my happy place — especially anywhere with sand, sunshine, and a mimosa in hand! I believe in slowing down, soaking in the moment, and making space for real connection — whether it’s a romantic escape, a bucket-list adventure, or a multigenerational family trip.
As a certified travel advisor and lover of all things Caribbean (St. Lucia has my heart — I’ve been 8 times!), I now design unforgettable island escapes, U.S. getaways, honeymoons, group trips, and destination weddings that are just as unique as you are.
My goal? To make your journey seamless and personal — so all you have to do is show up, relax, and start making memories.
Let’s take the guesswork out of planning — and design a getaway that’s uniquely yours, every step of the way. I can’t wait to help you plan a trip that feeds your soul and brings joy to your journey.
At Gigi’s Grande Getaways, my mission is simple:
To take the stress out of planning so you can fully enjoy the magic of travel — the slow mornings, the belly laughs, the sunsets you’ll never forget. I design seamless, personalized vacations that invite you to relax, reconnect, and make memories that stick with you long after the trip ends.
These values guide every trip I plan and every relationship I build:
Personalization – Because no two travelers (or trips!) are the same.
Simplicity – Travel planning doesn’t have to be overwhelming — I make it easy.
Integrity – You can count on honesty, transparency, and heart in all I do.
Curiosity – I’m always exploring so I can bring fresh ideas to your journey.
Connection – Travel is about more than places — it’s about people, too.
My vision is to be your trusted travel guide — someone who gets your style, your dreams, and your need for a little escape now and then. I believe the best kind of travel brings peace to your soul, connection to your relationships, and joy to your everyday life.

Whether it’s a toes-in-the-sand escape, a road trip through the U.S., or a celebration you’ll never forget, I’m here to make it all seamless, easy, and uniquely you.
From national parks and scenic road trips to iconic cities and beachside hotels, I’ll help you plan U.S. vacations for every season and every traveler. Whether it’s a family adventure, a romantic escape, or a solo journey to explore something new—I'll make sure the details are covered, so you can just enjoy the ride.

Whether you're island-hopping, exploring vibrant local culture, or simply soaking up the sun with a drink in hand—I've got every island covered. Let’s create a getaway that’s as unforgettable as the destination itself.
From luxury all-inclusives on the Riviera Maya to boutique stays in vibrant colonial cities, I’ll help you plan a getaway that’s as relaxing or adventurous as you like. Swim in cenotes, explore ancient ruins, savor authentic cuisine, or simply unwind by the sea. With custom planning across all of Mexico, your perfect escape is just a conversation away.
I’ve been planning getaways since before online booking was even a thing—and I still believe nothing beats a personal touch.
When you plan with me, you’re not just booking a trip—you’re teaming up with your travel bestie (a REAL human) who’s been there, done that, and probably still has sand in her suitcase along with clothes that need to be unpacked. I’ve walked the beaches, tested the resorts, and built real connections that make your vacation effortless from start to finish.
From your first “I need a vacation” to “that was amazing” to “where to next?”—I’ve got you covered. I’ll handle the chaos behind the scenes while you chase sunsets, sip mimosas, and soak up every moment of your well-deserved getaway.
Multigenerational families, friend groups, family get-togethers and corporate teams - I specialize in coordinating smooth, stress-free group getaways. I’ll handle the logistics so your group can focus on the fun. Whether you're planning a celebration, a retreat, or a simple getaway with your favorite people, I’ll make sure everyone’s on the same page and ready to make memories.
Here’s what I take care of:
Resort & hotel bookings for the whole group
Flight coordination and transfers
Group itinerary planning & organization
Tours & excursions everyone will love
Easy-to-follow info (no messy group chats!)
Personalized support before & during the trip

I work closely with the resort team to help support your celebration while keeping you out of the group chat chaos.
And once the last toast is made and the cake is gone, I’ll have your honeymoon ready and waiting. From overwater bungalows to luxury beachfront suites or tucked-away mountain escapes, I’ll help you plan a honeymoon that’s completely your style.
