Introduction

Hi Moms!

I’m Christine Earls — Mom of three grown kids, cat mom x3, ballroom dance lover 💃, and the owner of You and Me By The Sea Travel — a boutique travel agency that turns your dream vacations, honeymoons, and destination weddings into reality (minus the stress and late-night Googling!).

I wasn’t always a travel agent — I spent over 22 years as a bookkeeper before finally chasing my dream of helping people create unforgettable memories. What started as a big leap of faith has grown into a thriving business I built from the ground up. And in just a few whirlwind years, I was honored to be voted the 2025 Diamond Award Brides of Long Island Honeymoon Travel Agency Winner — an award that means so much because it came directly from the local couples I’ve had the privilege of working with. Today, I plan luxury getaways, romantic escapes, and once-in-a-lifetime celebrations for couples and families who want something more meaningful than just “basic.”

If your idea of heaven is toes in the sand, room service with a view, or celebrating love somewhere magical — I’m your girl. I specialize in destination weddings, honeymoons, family milestone trips, and all the little details that make travel feel easy and exciting again.

Let’s connect! I’d love to hear about your next adventure — or help you start dreaming one up. ✈️💍🌴

You bring the love, I’ll bring the magic. 

Specialization

I specialize in creating stress-free, personalized travel experiences for families, couples, and groups — including multi-generational vacations, destination weddings, luxury honeymoons, and milestone celebrations. Whether you're dreaming of a relaxing beach getaway, a romantic escape, or a big family trip with something for everyone (yes, even the grandparents and toddlers!), I handle all the planning so you can focus on making memories. From resort recommendations to insider perks and every detail in between, I’m here to make travel feel effortless and unforgettable.

Here are just a few of the experiences I book:

  • Certified Sandals & Beaches Specialist

  • All-Inclusive Resorts across the Caribbean and Mexico

  • Disney Cruises

  • Royal Caribbean & Celebrity Cruises

  • Custom Italy & Greece Itineraries

  • European Vacations & River Cruises

Whether it’s a romantic vow renewal, a girls’ getaway, or a multi-gen adventure, I make sure your trip is exactly what you envisioned — without the stress.

Company History

You and Me By The Sea Travel was born from that leap of faith — and a belief that love, connection, and adventure are always worth celebrating. The name comes from the moments I cherish most — whether it’s a romantic escape, a vow renewal, or a family standing hand in hand on the shoreline — it’s about you and the ones you love, together, by the sea.

I built this agency from the ground up, navigating some of life’s biggest personal challenges along the way — including open-heart surgery and thyroid cancer. Through it all, this business has been a source of purpose and joy. Today, I’m proud to say we’re an award-winning agency, honored as the 2025 Diamond Award Brides of Long Island Honeymoon Travel Agency Winner — and still growing!

As for what’s next? I see You and Me By The Sea Travel continuing to expand — helping even more couples, families, and friend groups take dream vacations without the stress. Whether it’s two people in love or a group of 20, we make the planning feel easy and exciting — and that’s just the beginning.

FAQs

What exactly do you do as a travel advisor?
I help busy couples, families, and groups plan stress-free, personalized vacations — from destination weddings and honeymoons to multi-generational family trips and romantic getaways. I handle the research, bookings, logistics, and little extras that make your trip unforgettable.

Do you charge a fee?
Yes — for most custom trips, I charge a planning fee that covers my time, expertise, and access to exclusive perks you can’t get booking on your own. It’s a small investment for a big return in peace of mind and personalization.

Can you help with family travel or just weddings/honeymoons?
Absolutely! While I specialize in romantic escapes and destination weddings, I also plan amazing multi-generational family vacations, milestone celebrations, and girls’ getaways — anything that deserves special attention and expert planning.

What if I don’t know where I want to go yet?
No problem at all — that’s what I’m here for! During our consultation, I’ll ask a few fun questions to learn about your style, preferences, and goals, and then I’ll present options that fit your vision and budget.

Why should I work with you instead of booking online?
I save you hours of research, give you insider access to resorts and promotions, and ensure every detail is tailored to you. Plus, I’m here before, during, and after your trip — no call centers, no confusion, just personalized support every step of the way.

Do you work with specific destinations?
Yes! I specialize in the Caribbean, Mexico, Europe, and beyond — especially all-inclusive resorts, Sandals & Beaches properties, Italy, Greece, and custom romantic or family-focused itineraries.

Personal Hobbies

When I’m not planning dream vacations, you’ll probably find me on the dance floor (I love ballroom dancing), spending time with my husband and three grown kids, or cuddling up with my three cats — who basically run the house at this point. 

I’m always up for a good cup of coffee, a scenic walk, or a spontaneous weekend getaway — travel is both my job and my passion. I also love a heartfelt love story (cue The Notebook or Mamma Mia! vibes) and believe the best memories are made when your favorite people surround you in a beautiful place.

Life’s too short for “someday,” and I’m all about helping families and couples live fully, love deeply, and explore joyfully — whether through travel or just good conversation over a glass of wine.

Christine was extremely helpful in planning my trip to the Caribbean! She was so patient while we made our decision based on all the proposals she sent for us. Christine took the time to inform me about all the nuances of our destination. She is well informed about the differences in resorts and locations. Thanks Christine, we will be sure to book with you for our next trip!

Christine assisted me with everything from the airline to the resorts. She was extremely professional and helpful in every way. I would highly recommend her to all my friends and family for all of their travel needs!

Emilie S.

This was our first cruise and Christine was the best! I reached out to her for her help in booking our cruise and she was so informative and got us a great deal. Christine was a pleasure to work with, great personality. She kept us updated along the way with reminders with our to do list. Christine went above and beyond. I would highly recommend her and have found a travel agent for our future travels, You and Me By the Sea Travel.
