Your Go-T0 for California travel
Iconic Southern California Pier
California rocks! With its beaches, mountains, wine country, fabulous mega-cities, National Parks, Lake Tahoe, the makings of a stellar vacation are right there. There are fabulous, unique wedding venues, unbelievable romantic resorts, And, of course, Disneyland!I was a California resident for 35 years, and a California based travel advisor for 20 of those years, so I am well-prepared to help YOU discover your own dream California travel experience!
If you are looking for a romantic wedding or honeymoon destination, you will have a difficult time choosing! There are wonderful wineries in Southern California's Temecula area, Central Coast venues, and, of course, Napa and Sonoma. Many couples choose a beach wedding and of course they can have that in California as well.
Your family doesn't need to go to Florida to experience Disney. They will all enjoy Disneyland in Anaheim and all the surrounding beaches, hotels and restaurants as well as Universal Studios, Knotts Berry Farm and much more.
For beach vacations, Southern California has it all! From San Diego to Long Beach there is one fabulous beach community after another. Spend a few days in San Diego, then take in Laguna Beach and Newport Beach.
San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco and in between have so much to offer if you are looking for a great culinary experience, outdoor adventures, romance, or simply to relax on a beach.

Amazing trip
Reviewed By Kevin - Yorba Linda | Traveled to Greece ~ Europe
She’s amazing! She’s gone above and beyond several times, from helping us get an additional excursion on our cruise to quantifying how much we could recoup if we had to postpone it.

Total Relaxation
Reviewed By Dorie - Green Valley, Arizona | Traveled to Los Cabos ~ Baja California Sur ~ Mexico
Jerrie has gone above and beyond to accommodate us on our latest trip which involved 6 of us. Three of us came from Tucson and three came from Ohio so that was tricky to plan and get us to our resort within 30 minutes of each other arriving !!!!

Jerrie McLaughlin responded:
Thanks so much Dorie! It's such a pleasure working with you. I really appreciate your keeping me in the loop during your relaxing vacation in Los Cabos. Your whale pictures were exceptional!

She pays close attention to our parameters
Reviewed By First Class - Colorado | Traveled to Paris ~ France ~ Europe
I have used Jerrie for all my travel experiences for more than a decade. She has always put together great experiences for my husband and I. In one case, I was told by another agent that "you can't get there on a train from here", but she found that it WAS possible! They loaded the train into a ferry. So cool!

Thanks Sue, I appreciate the kind words and I'm always happy to work with you.

We have never used a Travel Agent before. Jerrie was our first experience and she proved it to be so worthwhile. She booked our first time at an all-inclusive resort in Mexico which was recommended. She did EVERYTHING to make our experience just wonderful with no worries at all. We were so impressed that we came home and booked another all-inclusive with her for our WHOLE FAMILY to go with us. I know it will be a trip we all will cherish.

Absolutely first class family trip to Italy
Reviewed By Junebug - Tucson, Arizona | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Jerrie worked diligently to develop a two week visit to Italy for my family of seven individuals. She found a beautiful set of garden apartments in Florence just steps from the Duomo and the Academia. The three star hotel rooms in Venice and Rome were outstanding. Her knowledge of transportation options provided the best in both air and train travel. And while working on these, she also located a good insurance package and dealt with several other details. I recommend Jerrie without reservation. Now, on to Paris.......

I am so happy that you and your family enjoyed your vacation together and I imagine you all got much closer as a family during your Italy experience. I am definiely going to recommend the Acacia apartment to all my clients seeking a good Florence experience. I really appreciate you taking the time to fill out the review for me, and I am looking forward to working with you on your Paris vacation, June!
