Specializing in Family and Friends Travel

I raised my family about 1 mile north of Disneyland in Anaheim and my sons grew up feeling that Disneyland was their playground. Over the years we traveled our area on getaways, and on longer trips, we explored Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, Napa and San Francisco. I love California and its byways. My major in college was French. So I studied the culture, geography, and history as well as the language of France. It will always be my favorite European country and I love to send clients there. Italy is on everyone's shortlist of countries to visit, and it is on mine too. I've been many times and still am so looking forward to my next visit. I've sent many clients to Italy and everyone loves it. A cruise is one good way to see Italy as well as many other parts of the world. A client favorite is Alaska! Alaska is the favorite request of my clients, and a Celebrity Cruise to Alaska checks all the boxes that they are looking for!

Just Cruisin!

My first cruise was wonderful, everything was new and thrilling. I remember flying from Los Angeles to Mexico City and taking a bus to Acapulco, arriving there at about 9Pm. There was music every where, and the ship was scheduled to depart Acapulco at 2:00am. I found something to eat ... Read more from my Just Cruisin! story.

Paris, Normandy Beaches, Bordeaux

Once you see Paris at night, you will understand why it is called the City of Light.

And, most impressive are the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe. The Arc sits at

the top of the Champs Elysee, so as you stroll, shop or sip your way along that

beautiful boulevard, the Arc's ... Read more from my Paris, Normandy Beaches, Bordeaux story.

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 !!!!

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends

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!

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

So much better than expected!!!

Reviewed By Dorie - Green Valley, Arizona | Traveled to Mexico ~ Mexico

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.

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends

Jerrie McLaughlin responded:
I'm so glad that you had such a wonderful vacation! And, I really appreciate your choosing to book your family vacation for next year with me too. Thanks so much, Jerrie Village TravelArts

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 would recommend this agent to my family and friends

Jerrie McLaughlin responded:
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!
