Well, if I can start out giving you one piece of advice - spend the extra money and just fly to Canada and don't try and cut corners by flying to New York and then driving across the border - it may not end well for you - just like it didn't end well for my family.

NYC with kids!
Reviewed By Mom&me9 - San Antonio | Traveled to New York City | New York | USA
4 nights 5 days of history, entertainment, shopping.
Great balance for my 9 yr old and for mom. Lora listened to what my daughter wanted to see and she loved our seats at Lion King.
Had a hiccup on our flight home and Lora was right there to help us navigate our detour home. Even checked on us to make sure our luggage arrived as well.
Personal attention from a lover of travel and adventure let Lora be your travel agent you wont be disappointed!
Lora Neill responded
"Awe, thank you for the review. I love when my clients have fun on their trip and looking at the pictures I can tell that both of you did. I'm sorry that Mother Nature did not listen to me (she can be so fickle at times) and gave you cold rainy weather in NYC and prolonged your trip getting home. If you have friends and family that want to travel - please send them my way."

Just show up and enjoy!
Reviewed By Beach girl - San Antonio, Texas | Traveled to Virgin Islands | Caribbean
It was such a pleasure working with Lora! She handled every single detail and all we had to do was literally show up!
Our flight and seating were all arranged, everything concerning ship was all arranged, and if she could have packed my suitcase I would have let her!
This was an enjoyable experience to not be in charge of anything but eat, drink and be merry!
Would definitely use Lora to plan our next destination!

Best Anniversary Cruise!!
Reviewed By CruiseFan_jgv - San Antonio, TX | Traveled to Caribbean Sea | At Sea | At Sea
We booked this cruise to celebrate our 36th wedding anniversary. My husband and I had the best time on the NCL Viva out of San Juan and visited 5 ports (Dominican Republic, St. Lucia, St. Kitts, Aruba, and Curacao). It was the best itinerary we have done so far. We thoroughly enjoyed the ship and our travel agent, Lora Neill, did a great job of ensuring we had everything needed for our cruise. Highly recommend using her services!!
Lora Neill responded
"Thank you Julie for the review. I'm so glad you had a wonderful cruise for your anniversary and I have never been to those ports so I just may have to check those out. I look forward to booking you and John on many more trips."
