Luxury Leisure Travel Specialist
SNAPSHOT: Providing an expertise in cruises, both ocean & river cruises. Additionally, providing an expertise in All-Inclusive vacations, all things Disney and a commitment to provide all of us with special needs the necessary accommodations as we travel. Please read more for specific details.
In July of 2009, after 35 years in the insurance & investment business, with the encouragement of family & friends, I started Your Travel More Store (YTMS), an independent, Louisville, KY, based travel agency. In the spring of 2013, YTMS became an affiliated travel agency with Nexion. LLC, an international travel agency headquartered in suburban Dallas, TX. I have chosen to specialize in cruise related travel, BUT with my affiliation with Nexion, I can provide the products and services that any other “full service” travel agency provides. I can book air, lodging, car rental, tours, resorts, corporate travel, travel insurance and much more.
I am pleased to let you know that I have developed a pretty good expertise in the whole world of cruising. I have had great experience with Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, Princess, Norwegian, Disney, Carnival & Viking, to name a few cruise lines. I have also had great experiences with All-Inclusive vacations. Sandals tops my list of All-Inclusive resorts, but I also have had really good experience with Beaches Resorts, RIU Resorts, Palladium and Royalton Resorts. I can do all things Disney. So, all you grandparents, let me know when you want to take your crew to Disney.
One last, large travel niche that I am very good at is the arena of what is considered special needs travel. It is estimated that 63 million travelers in the U.S. need some sort of special accommodation when they travel. Maybe they need to walk with a walker, maybe they need dialysis while on vacation, maybe they need distilled water for their C-PAP. I am one of these special needs travelers. I know that I need some special accommodations when I travel. Thus, know that I am able to assist you with your special needs as you travel. I look forward to assisting you with your travel and vacation needs.
Thanks

Highest Recommendation
So I was happy to have the assistance of a professional. Bill was there to help us every step of the way. And some of those steps were probably out of the ordinary. We took this cruise to celebrate the recoveries from cancer of both my wife and I. We had a few special needs that Bill helped us through.
Bill also knows Alaska and was able to advise us on things to do and sights not to miss. We took Bill’s advice and were never disappointed.
I can recommend Bill highly and without qualification.
Thank you Howard for your kind words. It was my pleasure to help you in this Alaska cruise and so pleased that you had a wonderful time. You now need to plan to go back to Alaska. Thanks Bill
