Today, I am happily turning over my keys to Wendy Bouchard, my partner for the past year.
It has been a great 21 year journey owning Squaw Peak Travel providing travel assistance, I have made many friends, and have loved being a part of many of my client’s memories. At times, it was not easy,but I am proud that the business has preserved and grown following the loss of everything in the Allendale flood, and working through the pandemic to ensure my clients did not lose their money.

Many thanks and much appreciation to my employees over the years: Barb. Rosemary, Irene, Theresa, Stella, Marybeth, Audrey, Jane, Mary, Heather and Danielle.
They all were instrumental in the success of Squaw Peak Travel.

Because travel is still my passion, I will be working side by side with Wendy as an independent agent sharing my experiences and expertise with her. With my heart in the Caribbean, I will continue helping clients with their dream vacation. ( You know I am a Sandals addict). Additionally focusing on River Cruises and Escorted tours.

Stop by the office to meet Wendy; you will love her. She is dedicated to the business and I have no doubt, that Wendy will continue with our exceptional service and create amazing travel experiences with everyone she works with. I would choose only her to uphold the legacy I strive to develop over the past 21 years.
When you have travel plans , please continue reaching out to myself at [email protected], or call the office.
