Hi There:

My name is Randy Pauer, and after 30 years as District Sales Manager for Scandinavian Airlines, SAS, in Dallas, covering eight states, I retired in 2006. At that time, I decided to open my own cruise specific, travel agency to serve everyone, but with a focus on the LGBT community.

During my airline career, I had unlimited airline passes, and covered the globe learning details of most all of the major cities of the world. Even when on vacation, I made a point to check out hotels, outside of the one I was staying in, and restaurants and local attractions, knowing full well that when I retired I would open my own agency. Seeing destinations in person is far more helpful to clients, than just reading about them in a book. This knowledge is all stored in my head, and I am really quite proud of my worldwide knowledge.

During my time at SAS I also fell in love with cruising, and completed 46 worldwide cruises before my retirement. I am now up to 74, and have many more in mind for the future.

Even though some people may feel they can make their travel arrangements on line, having a dedicated travel agent working for you, for no charge, in my case, can add just so much more to your trip. Not only can I give you lots of information that might be pretty hard to find on your own, but you also have so much more clout with the cruise line by working with a Travel Agent. The reason being is that an individual may bring a few bookings to a cruise line, whereas we might bring 100’s of bookings to a particular cruise line, which is their incentive to listen more to what we have to say.

Cruises in particular require an incredible amount of information to help you in deciding not only the correct cruise line of the four major categories, but also help you with your preferred cabin type, location on board the ship, shore excursions, and all the other amenities cruise lines have to offer, to make sure your cruise is everything you wanted. I’ve even published two articles for local magazines that explain cruising in general, and how to prepare for that all important “cruise of a lifetime”. In addition, I am retired, have other income, and only sell travel because I’m just so passionate about doing so. I love what I do and cannot wait to get to work everyday. Sounds corny, I know, but travel is really something I thoroughly enjoy.

In addition, since I really don’t depend on my agency for income, I am free to sell the best product for YOU, and not just the product that pays me the most commission. I never forget that I work for you, my client, and not me, so my job is to find the best possible vacation for YOU!

When I first started my business I advertised for about six months, in order to get established, but since then, which was 13 years ago, my little hobby to keep me busy in my golden years, has grown to over 1,000 clients and over $1 million in sales.

My long suit is my knowledge of cruising in general, and service. The most common analysis I hear of my company is how much time I actually spend doing my work. But why not, if you love something, why not make it your full time job for the rest of your life,

Guess that’s all the space I have for the moment, but please give me a try. I never charge for what I do, have information in my head that few others do, and know cruise lines and ships inside and out. Thank you for taking the time to read my biography. I look forward to hopefully working together with you in the very near future. Give me a try. I promise to never let you down.
