✨ London Awaits: Custom Travel for Families of the
Blue Springs South Music Department ✨
Traveling to support your student in the New Year’s Day Parade and Concert Series?
Let’s turn this once-in-a-lifetime event into a meaningful, memorable family vacation!
As a local Blue Springs mom and a professional travel advisor, I understand exactly what goes into making a trip like this feel special. With three teenagers of my own, I know the balance you’re looking for—supporting your student, making lasting memories, and traveling in a way that feels seamless and stress-free.
Whether you're traveling with the group or planning something a little different for your family, I'm here to help you create a custom London experience designed around your priorities.
How I Can Help:
Plan your own itinerary alongside the group—perfect for parents, siblings, or extended family who want more flexibility.
Handle all the details: flights, hotels, transfers, tours, and more.
Secure family-friendly accommodations near the parade route, concert hall, and London's top sights.
Arrange personalized experiences like private tours, Harry Potter adventures, and afternoon tea.
Offer support through my trusted London partner, giving you peace of mind while you travel.
Whether you're heading to London for the parade and heading home or looking to extend your trip with a visit to Scotland, Ireland, or elsewhere in the United Kingdom, I’ll create a completely customized plan that takes the stress out of travel and gives you the freedom to enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime event!

"My husband and I had only a brief outline of what we wanted to do when visiting Ireland and Scotland. Laura worked with us to put together an absolutely stellar itinerary. She arranged for drivers and guides and wonderful accommodations every step of the way. She was always available if I had a question. I could not read her more highly than a perfect 10 out of 10."
