Best Advice
Reviewed By Travelheydoc - Oradell, NJ | Traveled to Portugal | Europe
Have used Kathleen to book my travel before and she has never steered me wrong. One bit of advice she always gives is to get travel insurance. I went on a wonderful cruise she booked for me in December 2024 and developed a health problem while on board the ship. This required 4 visits to the onboard medical center while being treated, which cost $7381! I received excellent care on the ship, but that cost would have really hurt me financially. Fortunately, I had taken Kathleen’s advice about the travel insurance and was able to file a claim after I returned home. It took a few weeks, but I was just reimbursed the entire amount! What a relief. If I had not been able to get reimbursed, it would have meant not being able book my next trip with her, my African Safari later this year. Thankfully, Africa here I come!
Kathleen Blehl responded
"Thank you for booking your trip with me again! I am happy that everything got resolved and that you are gearing up for your African Safari. Only a few more months now! Looking forward to seeing lots of pictures!!!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

First Cruise - Smooth Sailing
Reviewed By Patti M - St Louis, MO | Traveled to Bimini Islands | Bahamas | Caribbean
Kathleen was great with my first cruise - she asked the right questions and steered us to the right cruise ship for us - Celebrity. We couldn’t have been happier with our trip! Kathleen quickly responded to my questions every step of the way - which is great because I was extremely anxious. Can’t wait to book my next cruise!
