About Me

Chichen Iza
Chichen Iza

I've been helping fulfill travel dreams since January 2013, starting out as a Scandinavian escorted tour specialist. In December 2013 I relocated to Aberdeen, SD to work for Travel Leaders. I keep up to date on the latest travel trends, destination and supplier news and take continual education classes and seminars such as MLT U (Delta Vacations) so I can better inform my clients of the best options to meet their needs. Whether it is a a honeymoon, all inclusive vacation to the Caribbean or Mexico, or anything you desire, you can count on me to provide you with the best customer service and care from our first meeting until you return. Wherever you want to go, I will take you there!

Just returned from Cancun!

Recently I visited our southern neighbor Mexico. I stayed at the Royalton Riviera Cancun in the northern end of the Riviera Maya just south of Cancun. For seven nights I was spoiled by the Royalton's All-In-Luxury program. Don't think I spent all my time at the resort. I indulged in some off resort sightseeing as well. I visited Mexico's famous landmarks Chichen Iza, Tulum, and Jungle Maya. I also did some deep sea fishing, zip lining, and snorkeling as well. After getting home to South Dakota I needed a vacation from my vacation!

All we hoped for!
Reviewed By Cyost66 - Aberdeen, SD | Traveled to Ireland ~ Europe
Sue was great- our only constructive criticism would be to recommend that tour-goers arrive the day before the tour begins. We were jet lagged and tired and pretty much slept-walked through our first day. Otherwise-great!

Wonderful relaxing getaway!
Reviewed By Becky - Frankfort, SD | Traveled to Jamaica ~ Caribbean
We went to Sandals SouthCoast in Jamaica. This was our first time in Jamaica and we were very excited. We had heard great things about it and were not let down. We had a wonderful experience here. The people are so friendly and helpful! There's always something to do if you're looking for activities, too. We had such a great, relaxing vacation and couldn't be happier with how things went. I'd go back in a heartbeat!!

Santorini is the best!

Old World Greece is charming

In September of 2022 I was able to finally get on a cruise ship after so many cancellations due to COVID.  I flew across the Atlantic to Athens Greece.  For three days I toured Athens and felt like I had stepped back in time.  I visited the Acropolis, Pathanaic Stadium, Temple of Zeus and indulged in the local cuisine such as Souvlaki.  I boarde...

Pool time

Still love Jamaica!

November 2021 I went to my third Beaches resort this time in Negril.  Negril definitely has the best beach area in Jamaica.  I ate wonderful food and drink, went parasailing for the first time and hope to do it again someday.  Went on a glassbottom boat tour and saw lots of starfish.  I even saw a stingray up close.  ...
