Fiji is much nicer than Hell, Michigan KAREN
Reviewed By Doc - East Moline, Illinois | Traveled to Fiji ~ South Pacific
When my neighbor Karen told me to go to Hell. I obliged. Not being privy to the travel game I contacted Sarah Parmenter at Gullivers Travel Duck Creek. She informed me of the many travel packages, deals and best spots to stay. Hell, Michigan although probably wonderful, just doesn't have a large amount of touristic attractions that the Wisconsin Dells or Fiji has. Sarah was amazing to work with and so helpful in helping us plan our trip. I recommend her to anyone and everyone who is looking for a vacation or planning a trip. Except my neighbor Karen, she can take her own advice and head to Michigan after she mkws her lawn for the 5th time this week...We get it Karen you have nothing in your life but your lawn mower and garden gnomes! I'll send you a post card from Fiji where they don't mow the sand! Thank you Sarah P for being the best!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    New Years Eve In NOLA

    Experience in New Orleans

    New Orleans was an absolute whirlwind of sights, sounds, and flavors. I dove headfirst into the city’s vampire lore, taking a late-night tour through the French Quarter where we wandered past eerie mansions and learned about the secret societies and supernatural legends that make this place feel alive in a whole different way. The music—wow. Eve...
