Hi, I am a Group Travel, All Inclusive Resort and European Travel Specialist. I especially enjoy helping plan and book my client's bucket list trips to Hawaii, Europe, Italy, Greece and Ireland just to name a few! 

If you are looking for help in planning, organizing and handling the booking of your Individual or Group Travel, you have come to the right place!  My extensive experience in All-Inclusive resorts and Group Travel (for couples, families, friends and reunions to name a few) is a great asset for your next group trip.  I have many repeat group client's and enjoy the challenge of meeting and exceeding their prior travel experiences.  It is extremely important to me that your Group Trip and/or All-Inclusive vacation is as stress free and memorable as possible. 

I am extremely qualified to assist you with any All Inclusive vacation you can imagine.  Whether you are looking for a romantic getaway for two, a family vacation, a friends or family group trip, I can help you find the right destination and resort to fit your needs,  I have personally been to all the Sandals and Beaches resorts with the exception of Grenada.  It is on my bucket list!  I am extremely experienced in the Sandals and Beaches brand, but also highly experienced in all of the other All Inclusive brands as well.

What can I say about Europe?  If you can, you need to go at least once!  I thoroughly enjoy planning my client's trips to Europe.  There is so much to see and do in all of these amazing countries.  You could go back several times and not visit the same country twice!  My wish is that all of my clients have the opportunity to experience the thrill and awe of the amazing, ancient architecture, sample different foods and drinks and marvel at the most awesome views.  When I plan your trip to any European country or countries, everything will be planned for you.  Including flights, accommodations, transfers/transportation, skip the line passes to attractions and more. 

To ensure that your Group Trip, All Inclusive or European vacation is as enjoyable and seamless as possible, I have developed relationships with trusted supplier partners to assist as needed before and during your travel.  I am continually working on my destination and supplier training.

It would be my pleasure to take away all the stress of planning your perfect friends trip, family reunion or couples getaway.  Tell me what you envision for your ideal trip and based on my extensive knowledge, I will supply you with options to choose from that meet your wants and needs.  Once you have made your choice of destination and resort for your special trip, I will coordinate and arrange all of the travel details for you and your friends, family, etc.  Should you have any problems during your travel, I will always be here to help take care of them.  When you book with me you will receive prompt, attentive service from our first contact, through the planning phase, your actual travel and until you arrive back home.  You will never receive a charge from me as my services are paid for by the supplier once you book your trip through me.  I look forward to hearing from you and helping you plan your next Group Trip, Romance Travel, All-Inclusive or European vacation!

Best Regards,

Laura Blackburn

Ocean and River Cruising

Group Travel, All Inclusive Resorts & Europe

Cruises have become second nature to me.  Being located in N.E. Florida and within 2 - 5 hours' drive of 6 cruise ports, it is a natural progression that I have learned the ins and outs of the cruise industry.  My family are also big cruisers, especially over the holidays!  In addition to my personal cruise experience, I also have cruise certifications from: Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Princess and Norwegian Cruise Lines.

I have an ultimate love for River Cruising.  What better way to see off-the-beaten-path destinations then while sailing down scenic rivers on your intimate river cruise ship.  I can help you determine which River Cruise Line and sailing is most suited for your wants and needs.
