My Travel Stories
My First Cruise
I experienced my first cruise for my honeymoon in 1990. We had an ocean view cabin. Didn't know it was a port hole! The hubs didn't know what that meant either. We were ok with it though, we were just happy to be on a ship. When we made port in ... Read more from my My First Cruise story.
Pronunciation matters!
While watching a travel show on Ireland I heard the guide say "Mac Donald", as in the Mac Donald clan had once lived in the Dunluce Castle along the Antrim coast in Northern Ireland. That was all it took for me to decide I needed to go to Ireland. So naturally I planned ... Read more from my Pronunciation matters! story.
Most stress free vacation
Reviewed By Jon B - Centerton,AR | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
From our first video call to the end of our vacation Michelle was so helpful. She provided with the exact vacation we were wanting and had each step planned out for us. Travel during Covid precautions is different and she had us totally prepared for Covid test and the immigration process. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a stress free vacation!!

Fantastic first cruise
Reviewed By Danielle - Houston, Texas | Traveled to Turks and Caicos Islands ~ Caribbean
Michele was wonderful to work with on our 7 day cruise. She was so considerate of what we liked and didn’t like to make sure she made recommendations and booked to our liking. She was so thorough and responsive to any questions we had (which was a lot because this was our first cruise experience. She was so professional and organized and presented a packet to us with all the information we would need. She also sent email reminders for check-in and other milestones we needed to meet. I would ABSOLUTELY use Michele again and highly recommend her to anyone planning a trip.

13th anniversary cruise vacation
Reviewed By Mrs. Kirby - Pearland, TX | Traveled to Catalina Island ~ California ~ USA
Michelle was exceptionally easy to work with for our cruise vacation. We used her because I won a travel voucher in a raffle. She was great in the planning process and getting ready for the cruise. We booked airfare on our own but got cancelled because it was Southwest Airlines. She helped us in trying to get information for alternative options. I would definitely book with Michelle again for future vacations.

Michele did an awesome job getting us booked and all ready to go on our bucket trip to Alaska. We had a wonderful trip because we were so well prepared with every detail taken care of. We were so impressed we did not hesitate to ask her to do her magic for our next big trip scheduled for 2024.
