When one decides to make luxury travel advising one's labor of love career choice, vacation vibing becomes a state of being.


At my daughter, Mikka's just concluded softball travel team weeklong tournament at the USSSA World Series in Viera, Florida, we decided to make a fun vacation out of it too!


From the start, taking Amtrak's AutoTrain from Lorton, Virginia non-stop to Sanford, Florida was the perfect note to start this glorious mommy-daughter adventure! We hopped off the autotrain after horizontal sleeping and white-table clothed dining and hopped in our SUV with all her softball gear and beach paraphenelia and headed straight to the USSSA Space Coast Complex in Viera, Florida for the opening day ceremony!



We took in the palm trees, the beach, had lots of sun and fun and at game time, she and her Arlington Sage 14U team played with so much heart and passion, not to mention perseverance and dedication, and yes, fun too to prevail as undefeated champs from a pool of 31 teams all across the nation!



A particularly fascinating thing happened on our USSSA World Series vacation … Mikka and I did what the locals do and parked off side of road and watched a rocket launch!




Two videos back to back show the launch itself and a “pair of sonic booms shook Florida’s Space Coast as SpaceX recovered the two side boosters on the three-core Falcon Heavy rocket, tail numbers B1072 and B1086. They touched down at Landing Zone 1 (LZ-1) and Landing Zone 2 (LZ-2) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station a little more than eight minutes after liftoff. The core booster, B1087, was expended following separation with the rocket’s upper stage.”


Vacation vibe-ing is all about taking in these unexpected, unscheduled moments to make a memorable trip even more so!
