Welcome to Travel Wives

We’re so glad you found us! We’re Kahla and Shannon, sisters-in-law who share one big thing in common… we’re both married to travel agents. And just to clear up the confusion right away, no, we aren’t married to each other!

Our husbands, Cameron and Derek, are part of Olson Travel Group, Dream Vacations, and while they’re busy booking dream getaways for other people, we’re here to share what it’s really like living the “travel life.”

What you’ll find here

  • The trips we get to take (like our upcoming cruise on Royal Caribbean’s Jewel of the Seas).

  • The trips we wish we were on (because let’s be real, travel agents often book other people’s vacations while we stay home).

  • The hilarious behind-the-scenes stories that don’t make it into the glossy brochures.

  • Honest reviews, packing tips, and plenty of cocktails-and-carry-on moments.

This blog is an extension of our new podcast, Travel Wives, where we chat about all things travel, family, and the ups and downs of being married to travel pros.

If you’d like to see what our husbands are up to, you can check out their travel sites here:

🌴 Derek’s page: ddovolos.dreamvacations.com

🌴 Cameron’s page: colson.dreamvacations.com 

We can’t wait to bring you along on our adventures, both the glamorous ones and the not-so-glamorous realities. So grab a drink, pack a bag (or at least a sense of humor), and welcome to the journey!

We just got back from an absolute whirlwind of a weekend, and if you couldn't tell by the sudden urge to wear giant hats and sip bourbon, we’re recapping all things Kentucky!

Let’s dive into the trivia breakdown.

Our Deep Dive Recap: Royal Caribbean's Jewel of the Seas

The TravelWives are officially back on shore! We're Shannon and Kahla, and we're here to give you all the specific, must-know, sometimes-hilarious details about our sailing on Royal Caribbean’s Jewel of the Seas. This trip was the perfect mix of relaxation, amazing food, and learning a few cruise hacks along the way. Pre-Cruise Perfection: Hollywood Beach is a Must Let’s start with the non-negotiable step: the pre-cruise stay. Cruising out of Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) is easy, but you absolutely have to fly in the night before. Kathleen and Kahla arrived early and stayed right in Hollywood Beach, FL. Seriously, book it! The area is fantastic, the Broadwalk is a whole vibe, and you can practically taste the ocean air already. It’s the best way to kick off a vacation and avoid travel day stress. Hollywood Beach Fl for the win, every single time! The Good, The Gluten-Free, and The Great Service The ship's service was outstanding, especially when it came to dining: Gl...
