Imagine zip-lining through the jungles of Puerto Vallarta and swimming with dolphins on the same trip. How about sitting in the Blue Lagoon mineral springs in the morning and then walking on a black sand beach in Iceland on the same day! Experience seeing breaching whales in Nova Scotia (so close you could smell them). Can you picture yourself floating in the ocean on the beaches of Maui? Those are just a few of the great memories of some of the amazing places I have been able to experience first-hand. I would love to hear your dream destinations and the sights you have always wanted to visit and make your dreams come true. What a great reward to hear from clients that have had the trip of a lifetime and are eager to share. The memories are priceless! I have over 18 years of travel experience, most of which have been leisure/vacation planning. I am a Sandal specialist and recently completed my Princess Cruise line specialist training program. I continually train and travel so I am aware of new and exciting places to visit. Let's visit so we can make memories for you to cherish for years to come.

Kim Rendl - Super Travel Agent
Reviewed By RivMayaGuy - Plymouth, MN | Traveled to Riviera Maya ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Kim has been excellent to work with while planning a vacation. I have asked of lot of her, and she has consistently delivered what I have asked for. Anything from comparing prices of different vacations, to finding alternate dates that could save money. She is extremely responsive, and has always followed up to ensure that all of my questions have been answered. One thing that has set Kim apart from other travel agents I have worked with (and has kept me as a repeat customer) is that a few weeks prior to the trip, she contacts me to make sure that I have all of my travel documents ready to go.

Vacation Made Easy!
Reviewed By Liz - Blaine, MN | Traveled to Bahamas ~ Caribbean
Kim has been a great travel agent to work with! I met Kim because my husband and I wanted to try cruising, she just finished helping us book our third cruise! So obviously she has been doing a great job guiding us into vacations that are a great fit for my family. Kim also really pays attention to details. She reminds me of the little things that are easily forgotten (like dress code for formal night!) so that when we are on vacation things just run smoothly. I have also really appreciated her patience, no matter how many times I change my mind about what type of room we want or what sailing we want to try, Kim just gets me the information I need to make a decision and it never seems like I am bugging her.
We definitely look forward to continuing to have Kim help us with planning and booking our vacations!!

One of the best trip of our lives
Reviewed By VV - Woodbury, MN | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Kim was very patient in showing the various options we had to travel as a family to an all inclusive resort at Punta Cana in Dominican Republic. It was our first trip to an all inclusive resort and it was an amazing experience. The hotel we went to was Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and it was highly recommended by Kim and we saw first hand why it was so highly recommended. The beaches were amazing, the hotel had a lot of nice dining, lot of swimming pools. It was very kid friendly. The staff were very friendly.Kim was very meticulous in the planning, booking the flights and hotel. There were some changes in the flight timings and she promptly sent new itineraries. We needed a tourist card and she followed up with us via email and also called us and arranged it for us. So it saved a lot of time at the airport.
We will definitely plan on reaching out to Kim for any trips in the future.

Reviewed By Platespinner - AAfton, MN | Traveled to Jamaica ~ Caribbean
Kim took good care of us from the beginning. We haven't travelled by air for several years and haven't been on a cruise for over 20 years; so we were pretty green to the whole experience. She knew right away which cruise line would fit us best, Royal Caribbean. She booked wonderful accommodations for us on the ship providing us with a little larger balcony and a little forward on the ship for a smoother ride. Her recommendation to be in Florida the day before the cruise leaves in case of bad weather was a good thing too. She reserved a room for us at a fabulous hotel. It was a good place to catch our breath after a day of travel. She made sure we had all the details in place like transfers and sea pass information . She guided us on the importance of passports (we didn't have them). She recommended that we shouldn't travel without them; good advice.We are so thankful for her expertise and will definitely work with her when we are ready to travel again.

Kim has worked with us on a few vacations from Florida to trips to Mexico and we plan to use her for our future trips. Most recently, she helped plan our dream wedding in Mexico. From the beginning, she was eager to help with every detail and assisted us in getting answers from the resort. She kept in constant contact with the resort wedding planners and passed on all of the information to me, making the whole process very easy and seamless. She worked with all of the guests, ensuring that they also had an easy time with their preparations...and they were located all over the United States! Kim was reassuring when I had moments of stress and made sure everything was in place. Our wedding was beautiful. I could not have asked for anyone more thoughtful, organized, supportive and knowledgeable to assist us with planning our wedding and vacation.
