GET TO KNOW ME

What inspires you to travel? I love to travel and see new landscapes, discover new cultures, step outside my comfort zone and try new foods and see the sunrise and sunset on a different horizon. I love to travel with my family and create new memories. 

What do you think is the most stressful thing about traveling? The most stressful thing is packing. I am always worried I have either under- or over-packed. When I went to Italy with my husband for a week, I proudly packed everything in a carry-on. When I went to Belize, I only needed a few swimsuits and cover ups but brought two suitcases. 

What's the strangest souvenir you've bought? I'd have to say the butter dish in Amsterdam (2016). I still use it to this day.

Enjoyable Trip

Working with Jennifer has been a very pleasant experience from the start. Responds promptly to emails, provides information on anything and everything regarding your trip to eliminate confusion. The best peace of mind to know there is someone you can reach out to before, during and after your trip. The support is always there. A very huge stress relief because you should be relaxing rather than stressing about planning. Looking forward to planning the next trip with you. Thank you Jennifer!

Our Annual Birthday Cruise
Reviewed By blc107 - Fort Walton Beach, Florida | Traveled to Caribbean
Jennifer Wood made sure our Cruise was flawless from start to finish. We booked this Cruise a year in advance for my wife's birthday and Jennifer was there the whole time, checking price updates, as well as price checking excursions, on board upgrades, and add-ons to get the best price and most value for our dollar. Anytime we asked a question Jennifer was quick to respond. We have used Jennifer for multiple vacations and we could not be happier with her service. Always kind and professional, she is there to handle any issue that arises in an effort to minimize any disruption to your vacation. If you are looking for a Travel Professional to handle your vacation, my wife and I believe Jennifer should be your first choice, you won't be disappointed.
Jennifer Wood, VTA responded
"Thank you so much for this heartfelt review. Helping plan your wife's birthday cruise was truly special to me, and I loved being alongside you every step of the way. From watching prices to fine-tuning the details. Your trust and loyalty over multiple trips mean more than I can express! It’s a joy working with you both, and I can’t wait to help create many more unforgettable vacations together. Thank you again for choosing me for your travels and for allowing me to be part of your memories!"

Fairytale Croatia Honeymoon
Dune Lakes Travel made our honeymoon trip so easy to plan to Croatia. We did 10 days in 3 different cities with some of the best recommendations to do around the area. We were especially taken care of from Jennifer and she was always attentive and ready to assist when possible. We have never used a travel agency before but will use again for future trips!

Engagement of a lifetime in Italy!
From the moment I first talked on the phone with Jennifer to the end of our trip, she has been nothing but helpful with the planning and so attentive to our needs. The hardest part of the whole experience was deciding where we wanted to go. Once we decided on Italy, Jennifer made the planning process a breeze. Putting together all our accommodations, flights, rental car, and even going as far as shipping masks straight to my door. Unbeknownst to me, my fiance had secretly reached out to Jennifer asking for help in proposing. Jennifer put him in touch with a planner in Italy who put together a dream proposal at Villa Balbianello. Words can't describe how incredible it was and it could not have happened without Jennifer. We are so grateful for Jennifer for planning the trip of a lifetime for us. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and care for us did not go unnoticed. Will never plan a trip again without Jennifer, and highly recommend her for your next trip.
Hillary M, Lafayette, LA

AMAZING! She set the bar high
This was my first time working with a travel agency and Jennifer set the bar high. She is AMAZING and the term falls short to describe her. Our resort was incredible. We woke up in paradise for 4 days. We could have spent every day all day there without the need to leave. Our excursions were incredible the luau was amazing, Hawaii was incredible and I didn’t have to worry about anything but enjoy family time and the scenery.

Dream Paul Gauguin Cruise!
We booked a trip with Jennifer to Tahiti on the Paul Gauguin cruise ship. She explored and then fulfilled every wish and need we had. We needed day rooms in Los Angeles and Papette. She found great ones that were fair priced. She found a lower price with a cabin upgrade. The topper was helping us navigate the COVID protocol for US and Tahiti! She made traveling during the pandemic not only possible but safe and enjoyable. Who could ask for more?

Amazing Walt Disney World Trip
Jennifer Wood helped me plan an amazing trip to Disney with my son. I had put off going to the Disney parks for a few years(bought tickets during Covid and they don’t expire for a few years from purchase date) because I was intimidated by the Covid ever changing rules, the genie app/lighting lane/ scheduling ride times…the Disney App itself was intimidating to navigate. Jennifer set everything up for us and went above and beyond in helping schedule our rides every morning at 6am her time!!! By day 2 I was a Disney pro because of her!! I’m looking forward to planning all our trips through her! Thank you Jennifer!
Mindy M, Destin, FL
Romantic Las Vegas Anniversary Getaway
Jennifer went above and beyond for our anniversary trip last month. I didn’t think we were going to be able to pull off the trip because of our crazy schedules and Jennifer continued to work non stop to make it happen. She was so kind, professional and detail orientated! Every little small question I had while traveling, Jennifer was extremely responsive and even sent us a special gift for our Anniversary! Thank you Jennifer for making this trip possible and showing us the best! I will never take another trip without consulting Jennifer.

Skeptic Turned Believer! Hawaii Success
Jennifer was incredibly helpful on our family vacation to Hawaii. I was admittedly skeptical about the need for a travel agent, but she was well worth it and absolutely necessary. She took away so much of the work and stress of planning a vacation. She planned our entire trip from airport to airport, hotels, events, and everything so that all we had to do was show up. She helped us with changes and questions along the way. She had insider knowledge on a lot of tours. She even added days and additional travel during our trip. I would absolutely recommend her for your vacation.
Michael G, Shalimar, FL
Disney VIP Concierge Planning
I want to thank Jennifer for her outstanding services while planning our trip to Disney. My husband and I (grandparents) wanted to plan a trip for our family of 9 but had no idea where to start. Disney has really changed since we visited last. Now they require reservations for everything and lots of planning. I called Jennifer and she guided me every set of the way. She gave excellent advice and handled all of the details. She even scheduled our fast passes. If you need assistance and or expert advice, give Jennifer a call. You will not be disappointed.

Thank you. Sincerely, Delia
