As 2024 comes to a close and we start 2025 I want to thank those of you who have booked your vacations with me. 2024 was a great year for travel and I truly appreciate your support. Travel is my passion and after going on 24 years as an agent, 80 counties, 50 + cruises and visiting every state I promise to continue to give you the best service possible. My career as an evidence technician prepared me for this job as the details are very important to me.

There are many who believe that a travel agent cost money to use, that is not true. For example, if you book on a website that website gets the commission. Is that website going to give you an honest opinion about a cruise line or location? Who do you turn to if there is a problem, and we all know stuff happens when you travel?

I’ve had people contact me after getting scammed on websites, be careful with website like Expedia, Fly US, Makemytrip, Travelwebsitebooking, Priceline. Please consider using a travel professional. Thank you for support.
