We had a great trip to Lancaster PA and Washington DC thanks to the work of Lisa who was great to work with. Hotel recommendations were excellent.

Reviewed By Mdugas - St. Clair Shores, MI | Traveled to Bahamas ~ Caribbean
Our experience working with Lisa was nothing short of amazing! She was with us every step of the way, from the minute we contacted her inquiring about this trip, to the minute we landed back home. She gave us a ton of suggestions and also answered every question we had. She was very efficient . We had a schedule change on our cruise due to weather which meant we weren't going to one of the ports. She was able to help us cancel a reservation which took a lot of stress off of us and we were just able to continue to enjoy our trip. I would not hesitate to use her again and definitely will be recommending her to our family and friends..

Excellent time with Lisa! We're veteran travelers, but even so, Lisa made things so much easier!

First...if you're not using a travel agent to book vacations, you should be, second...if you're not using LISA then you're missing out.

Our trip was great...communication was always quick, and relevant, and concise. She helped answer all my questions, even the dumb ones I asked. Our cruise was amazing, large part thanks to Lisa. She kept an eye on process, and at one point found a cheaper price after we booked and adjusted our trip! She really is amazing Already working up prices for upcoming vacations. She even sent us some goodies to our cabin! Ill refer her to all my friends and followers....cant thank her enough

Book Your Trip with this Agent!
Reviewed By GoddessJ - Zeeland, Michigan | Traveled to Cabo San Lucas | Baja California Sur | Mexico
I don’t have enough positive things to say about our experience with Lisa. What a difference having an experienced travel agent makes! I have planned most of our family vacations in the past. It is a lot of work, and very stressful at times. Lisa took away all of the stress, and all we had to do was worry about getting to our destination. Lisa sent reminders on what needed to be done before our departure, and offered so many helpful tips along the way. We felt confident traveling, and it was such a relief to know that Lisa was just a message or phone call away. Lisa was always so quick to respond if we had any questions or ran into any problems.
Our vacation was wonderful (outside of some sickness with our kids- one of them became sick on the flight to our destination, so this was not at all the fault of the resort.). We would love to return to Cabo again to actually leave the resort and do some exploring. There are so many fun looking things to do: the Arch, camel rides, snorkeling, pirate ships. We would love to be able to experience this all in the future. The resort we stayed at, Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach, was gorgeous! The views were amazing and the food was by far the best all inclusive food and drink that we have experienced. It is built into the side of a cliff, so be prepared for a lot of uphill and winding walks, unless you would prefer to use their golf cart shuttle service. There were many restaurants to choose from, and they had a large room service menu as well. This resort also had 5 pools. One of them, the “Sky Pool”, was situated at the highest point of the resort. The views were breathtaking! We thoroughly enjoyed our suite, and fell asleep to the sound of the waves crashing below us every night. The coast of this resort reminded me of Big Sur, California. Swimming was not all allowed due to the dangerous rip currents, but the views were dramatic and gorgeous.

So many perks!
Reviewed By MattieB - Dunn Loring, VA | Traveled to Paradise Island | Bahamas | Caribbean
We went to Atlantis Bahamas, and Lisa helped us get SOOOOO many perks. Before we even travelled, Lisa really dived in and worked very hard to find us the right vacation. She did a tremendous amount of quotes. From there, once we decided on Atlantis, she found us a fantastic package that gave us literally over a thousand dollars of resort credit. As a result, we were able to get some fantastic extra fun in (dolphin and sea lion swims). In addition, she got us free breakfasts (including room service). When we got to the resort, as a surprise, we got an additional $100 of credit AND we had access to a VIP concierge. I typically do value vacations, but Lisa found a way to turn a very expensive vacation into a value vacation. I 100% recommend.

Reviewed By T and S - Holland, MI | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Lisa was the most helpful travel agent we have worked with over the years. She had suggestions about resorts but wasn't pushy. She had tips for navigating airports, flight check-ins, and embarkations. So helpful even for us seasoned travelers. She booked 6 rooms for our group and worked closely with the resort, getting us perks along the way. Thanks Lisa for all you did for us. We'll be using you again soon!
✓ I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Site Tours in Cancun!
A friend and fellow travel advisor recently joined me for a quick getaway to Cancun, where we explored several all-inclusive resorts throughout the beautiful Riviera Maya region. We toured everything from expansive properties that require shuttles to get around, to more intimate, compact resorts. Some were designed just for adults, while others ...
