How did I wind up here? Well my wife, Elaina, and I discovered cruising in 2005 and once bitten we became cruisers. We Cruise every time we get a chance. All but one of our cruises have been in the Caribbean, the only trip that was not was a 2 week cruise to Hawaii.

How did it come about that I became travel adviser? It goes back to the saying "choose a job you love and you will never work a day in your life". Travel and cruising is what we love. We have loved planning travel for family and friends. We came to the realization that if we became travel agents we could do what we love, help others find this joy and we could make a living doing it.

I have spent many hours working ot increase my knowledge to be the best travel adviser I can be. I have several location, and supplier certifications. I know not everyone likes the same type of vacation so I continue to broaden my expertise to be of value to my clients. I have speciality 

I have received several speciality destination certifications including The USVI including St Thomas and St Kitts, Hawaii, and Alaska.

Cruise line certifications including Princess, Carnival, Disney Avalon cruise lines.

Supplier certifications including Globus and Cosmos tours, AMResorts for all-inclusive vacations with properties that include Secrets, Breathless for all-adult, Dreams, Now, Sunscape for families and Zoetry for a Spa experience. 

We have experience in booking honeymoon vacations as well as family getaways.

Booking business travel

Reviewed By EPTAC - Paris, Tx | Traveled to California ~ USA
I use Shining Star Travel to book all of my business travel. Nothing fancy, just flights, cars and hotels but when there is a disruption they are quick to assist in rebooking/ changing any reservations. They take stress out of planning the trip. I travel all over the country and it is nice to let them take this off my plate.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
David Thomas responded:
Business travel can be tricky, especially these last couple of years. Even with the few challenges I am glad that we continue to meet your expectations and hope you keep rasing the bar for us. Dave

Easiest honeymoon booking

Reviewed By Aaron - Louisville, KY | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Dave was great to work with! He and Elaina booked our honeymoon and got us a great deal. The resort was everything we hoped for and the flights they booked were spaced nicely so we weren’t running through airports. Dave and Elaina were fast to respond, knowledgeable about the industry and made planning a trip easy.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
David Thomas responded:
We are so glad it all went so smooth. To be able to attend your wedding and be able to send you on your honeymoon made us so happy. We are glad we were able to meet your expectations. Dave

Best trip of our lives

Reviewed By World Traveler - Paris, Texas | Traveled to Scotland ~ Europe
Hands down the best travel agent I have ever worked with. Shining Star has booked trips to Vegas, Carnival Cruise on two different occasions. and the best so far was a trip to Ireland and Scotland. The trip was delayed for two years and David stayed on top of everything so that when the time finally came everything was if perfect order and we had the time of our lives with no problems at all.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
David Thomas responded:
We are so happy this finally happened for the two of you. It sounds like it was a great trip even after the delay. We look forward to booking all your future trips. Dave
