Erica’s 40th Birthday

June, 2026 – Miami, Grand Cayman, and The Bahamas

You’re invited to celebrate my 40th Birthday in June, 2026 and lucky for you, I’m a travel agent so you get free travel agent services thrown in and you know that the whole experience will be seamless and well planned!

The celebration consists of two parts, and my hope is to provide options for everyone’s budget, availability, and taste. You are invited to do one part, both, or none as the spirit moves you, and I will be so thankful for everyone to make the choice that truly meets their wants and needs. There is no pressure or expectation for this trip!

Partners, friends, or other plus-ones are welcome, encouraged even! Adults only, please.
For every part of the trip, guests are invited to participate in as many or as few of the planned activities as they like, with lots of downtime and lots of choices.
Please fill out your general interest form by January 1, 2026. There is no rush to book Miami Weekend rooms, but if you’re interested in the cruise, it’s a good idea to put down a deposit ASAP. People plan cruises really far in advance, and pricing and availability will be worse by January.

Leg 1 – Long Weekend in South Beach, Miami – Friday, June 5-Sunday, June 7

I will provide options for budget, moderate, and deluxe accommodations in January, 2026. You’re also welcome to find your own accommodations in South Beach, though it will be fun to have everyone close together and you can enjoy my travel agent services for free!

You’re invited to come for the weekend and participate in as many or as few of the planned activities as you like. Seriously, you can do everything I have planned or just use it as an excuse to go to Miami for the weekend and do your own thing!

Highlights of the weekend include:

5 Star Hotel Lobby Bar Crawl
Morning Yoga on the Beach
Carnivale-style Brunch Show
Morning Run on the Boardwalk
A Celebration Dinner Somewhere Special
Little Havana Culinary Walking Tour
Relaxing Poolside Hangs

Leg 2 – Virgin Voyages 5 Night Cruise From Miami on The Resilient Lady– Monday, June 8-Saturday, June 13th

This is an adults-only cruise line focused on great food, chic design, and boutique experiences. It’s not the cruise you might have gone on as a kid. Think drag shows, Michelin star chef meals, and relaxing poolside cabanas instead of Broadway revues, buffets, and cannonball contests. All meals, gratuities, soft drinks, wifi, and fitness classes are included in the price of your cabin. Alcoholic drinks are priced individually and reasonably (no extravagant all-you-can drink packages!). There are tons of vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and alcohol free options for every meal and celebration!

Highlights of the cruise include:

Stop at the Beach Club at Bimini, Virgin’s private beach resort in the Bahamas “where the vibe of St. Tropez, the energy of Ibiza, and the stunning beauty of the Caribbean meet” for a truly magical day of relaxation and celebration
Stop at George Town, Grand Cayman with opportunities for shopping, snorkeling, walking tours, and more beach lounging
20+ eateries included in your fare
24 hour room service
A birthday celebration dinner at Test Kitchen, an avant-garde, chef-driven dining experience where guests savor a playful multi-course tasting menu in a sleek, laboratory-inspired setting (cost included)
Another celebratory meal, this one a vibrant brunch at Razzle Dazzle, where bold flavors, a lively atmosphere, and unforgettable memories set the tone (cost included)
Multiple bars and lounges including a pool bar and champagne lounge
A festival-like lineup of entertainment nightly
Workout classes, a gym, and a spa available with a hydrotherapy circuit
A dramatic catamaran-style net suspended high above the ocean at The Net, where guests can lounge, swing, or gaze straight down at the waves below
Multiple chic and themed parties including the iconic Scarlet Night, PJ Party, and We Fancy
2 pools
An adult playground with fitness equipment and games
