Midwest Homies: We Need to Talk About Your Vitamin D Levels.
This should be you.
Okay, look. I love St. Louis. I love the Midwest. But let’s be real for a second: The sky has been gray for weeks, the wind chill is disrespectful, and if I see one more person scraping ice off a windshield with a credit card, I’m going to lose it.
The holidays are over. The tinsel is gone. The kids are back in school (bless them, but bye).
Welcome to the mid-January slump. It’s basically the Sunday Scaries of the entire year.
But I have a secret for you. While everyone else is miserable, the pros are plotting.
The "Adults’ Season" is Here We are entering my favorite time of year: The Spring Shoulder Season (mid-Feb through May). The massive family holiday crowds have dispersed. The prices have dropped. The vibe has shifted from "chaotic family reunion" to "quiet luxury."
This is the golden hour for the childfree traveler (or the parents who just need to be off the clock). It’s high inventory, low crowds, and absolutely zero screaming toddlers at the swim-up bar unless you brought them yourself. (Which, let's be clear: you didn't.)
My "Gatekeeper" Moment: The Secret Flights I usually keep my best secrets for my paying clients, but we’re friends, so I’ll spill the tea.
You know how flying out of the Midwest can be a pain? Layovers in Atlanta, sprinting through O’Hare, wasting half your vacation day in a terminal?
I have the fix.
Swap the Muddy Mississippi for the Crystal Clear Caribbean
I have access to Exclusive Nonstop Vacation Flights from major Midwest hubs that you literally cannot find on Expedia, Google Flights, or Kayak.
It’s not just St. Louis. Whether you are flying out of STL, Chicago (ORD/RFD), Kansas City (MCI), Milwaukee (MKE), Minneapolis (MSP), or even Cincinnati (CVG), I can get you on these exclusive routes.
They skip the layovers and drop you straight into:
Cancun & Riviera Maya
Cabo & Puerto Vallarta (Yes, the Pacific side!)
Punta Cana
Why these flights win:
They are Nonstop: You get on in the Midwest, you get off at the beach. No sprinting through Atlanta.
The Schedule is Magic: These flights are designed for vacations, not business commuters. That usually means morning departures (tacos by lunch!) and evening returns (a full extra day on the beach!).
The Price: Because they are bundled with the resort, the value is often untouchable.
Cheers to saying “adios” to your post-holiday blues.
Unapologetic Self-Care Stop "saving" your PTO for a rainy day. It is raining now (or snowing). You work hard. You deserve to feel the sun on your face without rude windchill.
Let’s get you on a plane. The only thing you should be scraping is salt off the rim of a margarita glass.
