Clients recently returned from a fun 2-week cruise 🛳️across the Mediterranean: Spain, France, Italy and Greece. Loved seeing all their photos📸 and hearing about the memories they made on this amazing trip! What a way to celebrate your wedding anniversary🥂 I so appreciate the kind review they left regarding my planning services⬇️😊

"Lisa was great to work with. She made everything so easy for us. Initially she did a lot of research for us as we were not exactly sure what we wanted this trip to look like. We gave her a budget and a time frame and she offered us several great choices. She followed up constantly on deadlines with reservations and excursions, and scheduled several calls along the process to help with decisions. We had one last call before we left, as I was nervous about transfers but things could not have gone any smoother on our trip. She even reached out as our flight was delayed getting home and made sure we were taken care of and had connecting flights. Lisa was on top of things and gave us a trip that we will always remember!"

A week in Ireland

"My wife and I worked with Lisa to book a wonderful vacation in Ireland. Lisa helped us pick out the type of places we wanted to see and things we wanted to do. It all worked out wonderfully!

💋We kissed the Blarney Stone
🌊Saw the Cliffs of Moher
🥃Sampled a lot of Irish whiskey and Guinness
🍀Learned about Irish history
🚢Visited the Titanic Museum in Belfast & Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland
😀And just had a great time!

Lisa found us a hotel centrally located in Dublin that was close to everything yet not priced out of this world (or at least not out of our budget). We'll work with Lisa on our future trips because we found everything so well organized"
