Therese Gries
Sheboygan, Wisconsin Travel Agent
A Full-Service Travel Leaders Associate Agency
Email MeCaribbean, Hawaii & Sport Specialist
I’m passionate about travel and I enjoy creating those “once in a lifetime” memories for my clients. My own enthusiasm for travel has inspired me to pursue this as my career, and I love to incorporate those extra special touches into each itinerary I create. What sets a great travel agency apart is when the agents take the time to get to know their clients and build a relationship with them to provide not only exceptional service but also deliver the perfect vacation.
Being a warm weather destination specialist, I always look forward to helping clients narrow down the choice of the many tropical locations available. From the relaxing beat of reggae music that welcome you to the island of Jamaica, to the beautiful beaches, wonderful resorts, and amazing sunsets, I’m here to make it a memorable experience. No matter where you choose, we will ensure that you have a stress-free vacation!
Many of my own travel experiences are created around a sporting event - particularly marathons. I find that this is an exciting way to see new destinations and enjoy new experiences along the way. I love to help my clients schedule trips around special events, such as sports, concerts and more. In addition to the event itself, they get to enjoy the sights and sounds of a new city!
Every trip that you take will hold a special place in your heart and you will be filled with memories that you cherish for a lifetime. Allow me to help you discover the next best destination for you. Call me today!

All About Hawaii
ALOHA!!
Everything about this beautiful state of Hawaii is incredibly amazing! What makes it such a special travel destination is the fact that each of its islands are totally unique. A stop in Maui would not be complete without a Lahaina luau! From tropical waterfalls and sunset cruises to whale watching and helicopter rides or perhaps sink your toes into the black sand beaches of the Big Island of Hawaii. A visit to the USS Arizona and USS Missouri at Pearl Harbor is a must on many visitor’s bucket lists! Each visit to Hawaii is a unique experience. I’d love to assist you in experiencing everything the Hawaiian Islands have to offer.

This was the 1st time I booked online with Apple Vacations and Therese was assigned to my booking. She was responsive and efficient. She helped us book a park and fly. It was at no fault of hers that we were disappointed with our trip. She is a very good travel agent. I would recommend this agent to my family and friends

I’ve never done much traveling so the thought of planning a trip to New York was scary, to say the least! With Therese’s expertise guiding us along the way, the NY experience went perfectly! I could not have had a better agent! And now, since that went so well, I’m really looking forward to a much bigger adventure next year...an Alaskan cruise with my whole family. Yes! You guessed it! I’m happy to say that Therese is taking care of all of us. I highly recommend her services!!! She promptly responds to my questions and concerns in a very professional and personable manner. She is exactly the assistance I need to be able to ENJOY and the planning and the trip. It becomes a true VACATION!! You can be sure I’ll be contacting Therese for my future vacations!

Memorable Family Vacation!
Reviewed By Jim - Sheboygan, WI | Traveled to Hawaii ~ USA
Therese was absolutely fantastic to work with from start to finish (including after we returned). She is extremely friendly and professional. Her communication was great throughout, and she provided several options for us as we were trying to finalize our itinerary. She always followed through on the things she said she would, and was always willing to help in anyway she could to make our trip easier, better, and a great memory. I would highly recommend working with Therese if you are planning a vacation. It was a pleasure working with her, and would do so again.

First time to Mexico, Great Experience.
Reviewed By The Campbell's - Sheboygan,WI | Traveled to Mexico
This was such a great experience! Therese Gries was super to work with. We went to her for help planning a vacation in a very short amount of time, not knowing where we even wanted to go.We have 2 girls ages 19 and almost 18 at the time. We had to quick plan a trip that could very well be our last family vacation as our girl are now working full time for the summer and college in the fall.
She gave us lots of options but didn't overwhelm us with to much to think about. We decided to go to Barceló Maya Colonial Riviera Maya, Mexico. This was an all Inclusive resort . Great choice!
It was perfect for our family. Therese made the whole process very easy for us. She was very helpful with information about pass port's, transfer's to our resort, restaurant's and excursion's we might have been interested in. We couldn't have had such a great experience without all of her help. We will be forever grateful to her for making this such a wonderful family vacation with our girls.

I have gone through several different travel agents and was never pleased with my service. Therese went above and beyond my expectations. She took the stress off my shoulder and allowed me to enjoy my vacation. Even last minute questions i had, she replied back to me within the hour! Even when we returned home, she let us settle back in and contacted me asking how our vacation went. I've never had someone contact me after there work was finished. I will definitely go through Therese again to book my next vacation!!

I never personally met Therese but working with her was a pleasant and seemless experience, it felt like a friend helping us plan a vacation. Therese worked with our requests, budget and answered our questions without hesitation. Plus, her prompt response through email was very much appreciated. Therese was upfront with pricing, detailing every dollar. And the best part of the vacation was the beautiful, scenic, busy beachfront of Fort Lauderdale. We were pleased and we will be return customers!
