Caribbean, Europe and Family Vacation Specialist
My family had a tradition of traveling with four other families when we went on vacation. This trip was always a big undertaking, given the fact that four different groups with unique needs were heading to a destination together. Every year, I was the designated planner. Noting that I had a valua...Read More ▶

Traveling with Food Allergies and Mobility Issues
Traveling with food allergies can be daunting. My husband and I are gluten-free and our daughter-in-law is dairy-free. I understand food allergies and will help contact resorts and cruise lines to make sure they know what you need. Most companies now have things marked for food allergies and this...Read More ▶

River Cruising - Are you too young?
Everyone thinks you need to be old to do a river cruise.  I have been on three river cruise lines with my husband and friends.  On average we walk about 10,000 steps a day!  Most lines do offer a tour for those with limited mobility. River cruising is a great way to see Europe and only have to un...Read More ▶

I have sailed on Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, and Norwegian Cruise Lines. Cruising is a great way to see multiple Caribbean islands on one trip. A couple of my favorite things to do on cruise is to enjoy the view from the aft of the ship and have my morning coffee on my balcony. If you a...Read More ▶

Exceptional help in planning our trip
Reviewed By Sue8 - Gainesville, GA | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Twila was a huge help in finding the perfect vacation for us. I am recently widowed, was traveling with my sons who are 21 and 23, and the younger one has autism. Not your traditional travel group! She helped us find an all-inclusive that had everything from a water park to a casino, staying in the adult area of a family resort. She made all of the arrangements including flight, hotel, and ground transportation, so all we had to do was relax.
Twila Hughes responded
"Sue, Thank you! Glad this resort worked so well for you and your boys and that all of you had the vacation you were looking for. Your family was great to work with and I look forward to help you again soon."
✓ I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    Sunset at Sandals Negril

    Our trip to Jamaica!

    On short notice, we needed to getaway for a few days.  I was able to find availability at Sandals Negril.  We had a swim-up room and had a great view of the pool and beach.  Our butlers were very attentive and made sure each restaurant knew about our food allergies.  We loved having breakfast on our patio.  The beach and sunsets are amazing in N...

    First Princess Cruise!
    Our trip was amazing! Twila is wonderful. We definitely will take a Princess cruise again one day.”
    Connie Schmidt
    Knocking 5 states off our list!
    “Twila, we had a great trip! The extra day that we added at the beginning allowed us to have more time to visit Yellowstone and Grand Teton National parks. Travel through Delta was seamless. The itinerary was very easy to access through the app and gave us all the details needed at our fingertips. We enjoyed our time together on the road visiting 5 states. Each stop was in a great location. We particularly enjoyed the Geiser Grand hotel and the historic towns of Baker City and Jackson Hole. We enjoyed the falls in Twin Falls and in Spokane. We were even able to enjoy a minor league game on our last night in Spokane. Our longest drive back to Bozeman was a beautiful, scenic trip all the way back. We never got tired of the drive! Thank you again for such a great itinerary!
