an exceptional class trip to Yosemite
Reviewed By Mr. Carmichael - Ellettsville, Indiana | Traveled to California ~ USA
Linda was exceptional; a professional at many levels. She helped me along as I took a group of 9 special needs students on a cross-country trip to spend a few days in Yosemite National Park. I am a traveler....but flying presented many challenges and Linda was there to 'hold my hand' along the way; she reserved boarding passes and answered my 'nervous' questions without hesitation. Without question I would and will use her services again in the future.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

But the discovery of Peru’s Nazca Lines gave a whole new meaning to drawing a line in the sand. Flight seeing is the best way to see these massive geoglyphs etched into the desert— where the ancient Naz...
