Total relief!
Reviewed By FamilyTraveler3 - Troy, IL | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
After posting my desperation for help on planning a trip to my local community page, I got a few recommendations for Sherri. She contacted me right away and jumped right into planning our trip. She has made the process super easy and eliminated any anxiety I had about Disney planning. After she ran some ideas past me, we sat down and she handed me and amazing plan that allowed us to head to Florida feeling prepared. And she encouraged me to call if we should run into any questions or issues on the trip! I am so incredibly grateful to all the work, planning and thoughtfulness she has put into helping me out. Thank you, Sherri!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Planning a magical vacation to Disney World
Reviewed By RPinkel - Collinsville, Illinois | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
It started with an idea of taking my family on a fun vacation. Once we decided to visit Walt Disney World I made an appointment with Sherri Franklin at the Wish Upon a Star With Us travel agency in my hometown. Sherri has done an outstanding job organizing our travel arrangements and helping us plan a very magical vacation. Her extensive knowledge and attention to detail is amazing. The countdown to our Walt Disney World vacation has started and we can't wait! What is even more exciting this that we've already booked our next vacation with Sherri as well. That is how awesome she is! :)
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Incredible Dominican vacation
Reviewed By Rick a d Tina - Highland, IL | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Sherri booked an amazing 5 night stay for my wife and me at Barcelo Bavaro Beach resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. We told her the days and length of stay we wanted and she provided 3 awesome choices. We picked Barcelo Bavaro based on the information provided and loved the choice we made. The value was great. The resort was on the adults only side of the bigger Barcelo Bavaro Grand Resort. Our room had a view of the amazing beach. The food and drink choices were great. The adult side was fairly quiet, and perfect for our getaway. You have access to the family side of the resort, Barcelo Bavaro Palace. There are more activities and food options there. And easy to get to via the "tren", the covered walkway or a great stroll down the beach. We would love to go back at some point with our kids and their families.

Sherri, thank you for recommending and booking this fantastic trip for us! It was everything we hoped for.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    Frances and Finton's Cottage

    A True Irish Farm in Ireland

    On our guided tour of Ireland, we stopped at a lovely farm and met an authentic Irish farmer and his wife.  The cottage was surrounded by colorful flowers and meandering paths through the garden.  Frances hustled us into the cottage to teach us how to make fresh, homemade scones.  This feisty Irishwoman has been making scones for decades ...

    The European Feel of the MSC Cruises

    My husband and I experienced life aboard the Meraviglia while cruising the Caribbean.  This beautiful ship towers 19 decks tall and it a sight to behold!  The MSC line is based in Italy, so it is no surprise that the ship has a European feel and worldwide client base. The diversity of cultures is everywhere - the announcements are made in 5 diff...
