About Me

Aruba - Eagle Beach
Aruba - Eagle Beach

Aruba really is"One Happy Island", and it's one of my top recommendations for anyone looking for a mix of sunshine, relaxation, and adventure.  With year-round warm weather (no humidity) and some of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean, it's s destination you can count on no matter when you travel.

If you're looking for calm and quiet, Eagle Beach is ideal with its soft white sand and peaceful vibes. For more energy and convenience, Palm Beach has restaurants, shops (amazing jewelers) and plenty of water sports.

Surprisingly Aruba has desert landscape. You can explore this side of the island and enjoy off road jeep or ATV riding, and hiking.  I've personally dined at an outstanding local restaurant on this side of the island.  

Dining is another highlight.  If you are an adventurous foodie, you will enjoy the local cuisine. However, there are food choices for every taste.

Aruba feels safe and welcoming so exploring the cultural spots is easy and enjoyable. This small island is perfect for couples, families and groups. The scenic views are romantic for destination weddings.

Great Weekend Trip
Reviewed By jtynan7 - New York | Traveled to Washington D.C. | District of Columbia | USA
I connected with Corliss to help me plan my family's recent trip to Washington DC. I wanted recommendations from someone who was familiar to the area and Corliss delivered. She stayed within our budget for the hotel and selected great options. As far as food recommendations, every one she suggested was fantastic. Corliss kept us informed on things going on (we went during the government shutdown) and made sure to check in while we were there. She also sent great tour recommendations for us and highlighted great things to see. I am looking forward to planning our next trip!
Corliss Banks responded
"Thank you so much for trusting me with your family vacation. The government shutdown was not expected. I was so happy to know that you were lucky enough to get into the museums before they shut down! I hope you enjoyed Washington DC enough to come return and explore more and spend some time in Virginia and Maryland. The DMV has so much to offer. "

Family Trip to Ghana
Reviewed By FamTravel - Upper Marlboro MD | Traveled to Accra | Ghana | Africa
Corliss Banks was incredibly responsive and thoughtful throughout the entire planning processing. She made sure we had all of the travel tips we needed from passport, visas and country requirements for immunizations. She presented beautiful lodgings for our stay that incorporated local culture and luxury. This was more than a vacation - it was an experience of a lifetime for me and my grandson. We are so grateful for Corliss's travel planning expertise, attention to detail and genuine care. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking an international vacation experience.

The trip was very enjoyable. Corliss did an excellent job in scheduling and shepherding the group through booking, boarding, and onboard meal planning. This was one of the most organized and fun cruises I have experienced. We are looking forward to booking our next family cruise vacation in 2026.
