New Zealand Expert

Paula has assisted us with travel to Tahiti, Cruises to Israel and Egypt, fantastic excursion contacts, much much more. She tunes into your wants and desires!

Paula always has all the details worked out. She also will have alternate options so plans can be changed if needed. And she gets you the best costs available.

Paula is very friendly, she listened to the type of trip we wanted to book and she did an amazing job! We had an amazing trip thanks to her.

It was a pleasure working with Paula. She's very easy to talk to, has great tips/ suggestions and really knows her stuff. Just be careful what you ask for because she'll definitely try and deliver! She managed to give me everything I had asked for and more. She was always very responsive and checked in to make sure things were going smoothly. I especially appreciate how open she was to feedback about what I loved about my trip or what it could have been better. I normally plan everything myself, but trusted Paula to guide me in the expanse that is Australia and she didn't let me down!

Paula made our family Christmas getaway a breeze as we had family coming from different cities all to meet up in Mexico. She found the perfect resort that was kid friendly & made notes so when we checked in we were all on the same floor which made it perfect for Christmas. We couldn't have done it without her. No excited as she is planning our anniversary trip for us & can't wait.

Easy to work with, efficient, good communication, very accommodating and created a great trip.

Paula found several cruises that fit with our schedule so we could pick the best one for us. She found a good airfare deal and took care of hotels and transport. We really didn't have to do anything.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Paula for my last two (incredible) vacations. Paula’s experience has proven beyond valuable and I will not be booking future travel without her.

She makes planning a vacation so easy by taking care of all the small details that are so easy to overlook yourself

Paula helped my girlfriend and I plan our 5+ week workcation trip to Aruba. This was my first time using a travel agent and I am so happy we did.

We knew we wanted to get out of the US and enjoy warm weather. We were thinking about Aruba, Barbados, and a few other locations. Paula took the time to really understand our needs and wants (warm weather, good internet, nice beaches, low chance of COVID exposure, good health care system, in case one of us did contract COVID). Paula helped to secure lodging that was within our budget that met our needs. She also helped with planning activities while we were there. We gave her some ideas of what we wanted to do and she helped make suggestions from reputable companies and handled all of the bookings. It was nice to not have to worry about scouring Tripadvisor and other internet sites trying to find good reviews on tours, restaurants, etc. We had a great trip - did not want to come back. I will certainly use Paula again for future trips

I gave Paula some pretty specific guidelines of what my husband and I wanted for our vacation. She came back with many options to choose from. Ultimately our vacation was perfect!!

Paula has been my “go to” person for travel for more than a decade. Her knowledge and expertise has reduced my stress level immeasurably. She has always made even the most complicated travel clear and manageable. Whenever I start to contemplate a new adventure, my husband always says, “time to call Paula!” Our recent three-week trip to Greece was beautifully planned, with personal tours to all of the major highlights: Athens, Mykonos, Santorini, Naxos plus a trip to Delphi and the soaring monasteries of Meteora. Not just a history tour but a foodie tour and cooking class, too. Her in-country specialist, Curbys, knew exactly how to make this trip perfect, even during this time of Covid.

Paula makes the trip so easy. We just tell her what we are looking for and it all gets put together. Even when things come up that are not planned; she does what ever she can to put things back on track.

Paula was a joy to work with for my trip to Aruba. My boyfriend and I were nervous about traveling during these times, but I always felt at ease with Paula who made sure to keep us up to date with all the protocols. We were staying for a little over a month so we had more specific needs than the average traveler, but Paula was able to accomodate all of them. She provided wonderful ideas for excursions on our days off before we got to Aruba as well as during our trip. She also made great suggestions for places to eat and was even able to help find an amazing restaurant right on the beach for my boyfriend's birthday. I truly couldn't have done this trip with Paula and extremely grateful that she is my travel agent.

She is simply the best travel agent I've ever worked with.

Paula did an amazing job of getting everything arranged. Didn't have worry about anything, set up all the resorts, transportation and excursions, was awesome.

My girlfriend and I have used Paula for several years now to help plan our vacations. We no longer to the DIY approach (bunch of Google searches, checking Trip Advisor, and hoping for the best). I have learned that an amazing travel agent can really enhance your travel experience.

Paula is extremely attentive and very communicative. She always asks the right questions and makes sure that our trips fall within our budget and interests.

Paula planned our St. Lucia getaway a few months ago. Paula handled everything - booking the flights, booking the resort, and even making dinner reservations for us. She helped us to find the perfect resort for our budget. The resort was an all inclusive with butler service and very reasonably priced. She also provided some great restaurant recommendations. We gave her a list of things we wanted to do and she helped to ensure we booked the fun excursions and properly spaced them out so that we had fun while not being overly stressed.

Paula is the ultimate professional and very knowledgeable about French Polynesia. She organized a wonderful (30th Anniversary) trip for us with stops in different islands and everything went without a glitch. She took care of schedule changes, selected hotels carefully and shared her knowledge of activities. Working with Paula made us feel like she was a friend doing her best to make sure we would enjoy every minute of our trip. And it was indeed a trip will never forget! We highly recommend Paula.

Paula took our request for a trip to a warm climate and gave us three great options! We chose a resort in the Bahamas and had a fantastic time. My favorite part was that we didn’t have to be concerned about anything. Paula gave us all the information needed in advance.

Paula has helped arrange at least a couple trips to Mexico for us, and did a superb job with transportation, lodging and activities, beginning in 2017. We mentioned to her then, and during the scheduling of subsequent Mexico vacations, that Pat would be retiring in early 2025 and we would be interested in seeing if we could swing the “bucket list” trip to French Polynesia at that time. I don’t remember who reached out to whom, but there was no question Paula would be our agent. There was some give and take to determine what activities we wanted to schedule and the like, but Paula did a masterful job of scheduling. We ended up visiting 5 islands over the course of 18 days, complete with island “hops” on Air Tahiti, a ferry ride from Tahiti to Moorea, and interesting excursions along the way. It was reassuring our first night in Tahiti when we were struggling to figure out the voucher, and the front desk person said “It’s no problem—we know Paula.” In addition to being the vacation of our dreams (inclusive of beginning to “power down” in the Air Tahiti lounge before our return flight), it turned out that Paula knows a thing or two about saving costs. That is, two of our favorite (Pearl) resorts (at Bora Bora and motu Tautau off Taha’a) were being offered as a Costco special shortly after our return. The cost for the 5 day stay via Costco was, proportionally, far more than the cost of our trip, and didn’t include multiple islands, air transport or activities. So, Paula also did us a solid on the cat side f things.

Paula has been my dependable go-to person for travel since 2009. She’s gotten me around the world and I can’t imagine doing this on my own. She’s kind, knowledgeable and patient. And fun!

My wife and I were going on our honeymoon and we decided to head to French Polynesia as both of us enjoy diving. After a few failed attempts to book the trip, as I normally would, I decided to find an expert as the inter-island flight logistics were getting extremely complicated. My first time working with a travel agent, I happened to cross Paul's profile and reached out. Boy am I glad I did! Paula took the time to ask us questions, really dig into the types of things that we wanted to see, and wasn't afraid to push back and direct us to places she knew we would love. I cannot stress how valuable her Intel was when it came to finding beautiful hotels, good food, and unforgettable experiences 10/10 I would recommend Paula to anyone looking to book an amazing trip to French Polynesia.

Recently, our friends invited us to join them on their planned 4-week New Zealand trip. On short notice Paula was able to make our hotel reservations — at 17 different hotels in both the North and South Islands — to match our friends’ itinerary. She also arranged our flights, with a wonderful 3-night stopover in Fiji. With her extensive and personal knowledge of both Fiji and New Zealand, she was able to offer recommendations and suggestions to further improve our trip. We had a fantastic trip that went smoothly!

Paula has planned our last 6 trips, 5 to the South Pacific and 1 to the Caribbean. She has gone out of her way to understand what we want from our vacations. Besides providing flawless logistics in complex itineraries, she helped us discover our current favorite place in the world. Working with Paula made us feel heard and the results speak for themselves.

We had an amazing trip for our 30th, Paula made sure every detail was just right!

Paula was a great communicator from the start of our discussions about travel to Fiji and she never let us down. Her knowledge was vital to one of the best trips of our lives and the locations she helped us pick were top notch! Paula was responsive from start to finish and always made us feel as though we were her only clients! We’d highly recommend her services and will definitely return for more travel assistance. Bula Vinaka Paula!!!

Paula planned an amazing trip for us and when things went wrong she was incredible. She helped us get on a plane the next day and it was a blessing. We have worked with Paula for 20 years and her expertise has made our travels all that much more enjoyable. It’s amazing to have someone who knows all your preferences and can help you with the fun stuff so you don’t have to guess if the bed will be long enough for your 6’4” husband!

Paula spent time with us to find out what we liked to do on vacation. She built a custom experience we will never forget.

Paula made booking our trip so easy! And she was on hand to help us when issues arose. She also provided many additional helpful travel tips!

Working with Paula to plan our trip to New Zealand made us feel confident everything was going to go perfectly. We have been using Paula for years and would not think of going anywhere else for our travel needs.

I felt like I was in good hands working with Paula. Her knowledge and expertise were very helpful in choosing a hotel and excursions. She asks the right questions and understands the vacation you are looking for.

Paula has been our travel agent for several years now, and has helped us plan at least 4 major overseas vacations. We have always found her to be personable, knowledgeable, and very responsive to our needs. She has comprehensive knowledge of many destinations around the world based on her own travels and research. She also makes it possible to reach her during our trips, and has helped us solve problems in real on more than one occasion. We'll continue to work with Paula until we stop traveling or she retires!

Paula is a real pleasure to work with. She really listens and makes herself available for any and all questions. She's super knowledgeable and tries very hard to make sure that you get all the things on your wish list but is also good at letting you know when that list might just be a bit too long for one trip!

Paula helped us plan an amazing trip to New Zealand. She was available by email whenever we had questions during planning, and made the whole process less stressful. My husband and I had been trying to plan for over a year when we contacted Paula, and she helped us plan the whole trip in less than six months.

Paula is tremendous to work with. She has great experience, extensive contacts, and knows how to anticipate travelers' needs. Every step of the way, we were grateful for Paula having solved a potential challenge before we could have anticipated it ourself. Just outstanding. I think this is at least the fourth time we've worked with Paula, and she'll continue to be our go-to person for travel.

My girlfriend and I have worked with Paula for several years now. She is well traveled and super knowledgeable. She always finds us good travel and lodging deals within our budget. She knows good restaurants and will handle booking reservations to restaurants as well as local excursions.

I don't even want to think about a vacation without calling Paula first!

I found and selected Paula from a number of Agents who are familiar with the South Pacific, specifically Fiji. Her task - show us new parts of the country aligned with what we want to do in Fiji - free diving on a beautiful home-reef.

'Good' free diving is not something that is easy to identify or find via the internet, but Paula set out to understand what it meant to us and then built a 'sampler' trip so we could visit three new Fijian locations with an eye on finding us a great home-reef free diving experience.

All three locations had fantastic home-reefs, and the last was free diving heaven - along with being a truly amazing resort.

Paula nailed the logistics associated with moving from one resort to another. There was never a moment when we faced uncertainty on what we needed to do next. That along with locating something as hard to define as 'good home-reef free diving' made for a great trip.

We were very happy with our experience with Paula a

Paula was very thoughtful in her approach and thorough with every detail covered.

she was easy to talk with, she was able to put together a travel experience we will always remember. and when we had a difficult time with a Hotel she was able to address and resolve the issue!

Paula was referred to me by a colleague. From my first call with her, I knew it was going to be a great experience. She took the time to understand what was most important to me regarding an upcoming family vacation. With that, she helped me narrow down a list of locations. Ultimately, we decided on St. Lucia. Paula was very knowledgeable when it came to the island as well as the resort we had chosen. Our trip was fantastic and we will be using Paula again later this year for a second trip to celebrate a wedding anniversary.

In working with a travel professional like Paula, our trip was flawless.
I love her attention to every detail, especially when travel out of the country as she makes sure nothing is missed and makes my life easier! We have used Paula multiply times and she never disappoints, love this girl as she really cares.

I have never worked with a travel agent before. After weeks of gathering information, I realized the logistics of a trip of this magnitude would be an undertaking. After a few days of searching and deciding I wanted to deal with someone local to me, I came across Paula's information. From our initial conversation, Paula was such a pleasure to deal with. She provided suggestions, and listened to what kind of trip we were looking for. Throughout the months, Paula stayed engaged with me and provided timely updates and information as she received it. Our transportation that was organized was seamless, and my wife and I had the most incredible time. I had even reached out during our trip to attempt to book a helicopter ride through Paula. Which again, she was quick to respond and provide me options. Our trip was 10/10, and Paula as a travel agent was 10/10. Couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we will be using her for all of our future trips to come!

I already recommended Paula to our friends! The entire planning process was made so much easier having Paula helping us. From ideation to execution the entire experience was great. We just had to say what we wanted to do and she provided options. If you are on the fence about getting a travel agent take the plunge, you will save time and money!

We have been working with Paula for years and she is an expert at what she does. She delivers consistent, excellent service every time.

The 2 vacations that Paula helped plan for us were absolutely wonderful and we look forward to working with her again soon! She takes the time to first understand what kind of vacation you're hoping for, then uses her experience to create an itinerary from start to finish, thinking of details that I never would have. Then, she calls after you're home to hear about your trip and learn from your experience and share in your manors so she can help make your next trip even better!

Paula has always listened to our wants and needs and provided great advice to help us with our goals. She has always been thorough and prompt in providing and explaining our travel documents, and has gone out of her way to notify the travel venues about things like our wedding anniversary. She is also very good about remembering our travel preferences from trip to trip, even if several years in between.
