In 1962, I took my first international flight from France to Wisconsin at 6 weeks old, and was hooked. I have now stepped foot on all 7 continents and share my travels with thousands of fans on my YouTube channel. Travel is more than a hobby or an interest to the Melnick family. It is woven into family memories, experiences and creates ageless bonds. From the earliest memories of road trips across America, explorations of the Hawaiian Islands, zip-lining with the monkeys in Costa Rica, and swimming in the crystal clear Caribbean ocean, to the most heart warming destination celebrations of weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, reunions, and even business meetings and conventions, one thing stands out among it all - Travel, surrounded by family, friends, colleagues and some of the friendliest strangers you could meet. I am honored to help you build your most cherished memories. Thank you for choosing Dream Vacations - Lainey Melnick & Associates. We know that you have many choices, and we deeply appreciate your business.
