Princess Cruise, Universal & Military Specialist
I never tire of a beautiful sunset.
I have been a professional travel planner since 2018 and planned for family and friends many years before that. If they have a specific travel dream, they know I will do my best to find it.
I am an Air Force Retiree, ready to share my love of travel. My experience has also made me aware of the many discounted opportunities available for our service members. I'm a planner at heart that understands the importance of details.
I find a magic in travel, a wonderful respite of the daily grind to relax, recharge and make memories. My husband, Charles, convinced me to follow a 35+ year desire to be a travel agent/planner. I see your trip as a giant puzzle to make the destination, activities and budget fulfill the vision of my clients.
Family and friends look to me not only for their Disney & Universal vacations but also other destinations; whether it’s a cruise, island resort or just a weekend get-away. 2022 is the year I expanded to include the amazing Alaskan cruises. While Disney is a favorite vacation destinations, I just love to travel, whether with my husband, kids or girlfriends. I'm happiest when I have a trip countdown, for myself as well as my clients.
My goal is for you to have the trip of your dreams, wherever they may take you, and lastly, that you make memories.

Carol helped us with every aspect of planning our Disney Vacation in 2019! She was amazing and even helped us trouble shoot a mistake made by one of the Disney Parks. I would recommend her services to anyone in need of a Grade-A agent!

Very professional service. Most importantly Carol took a very personal approach by catering to our needs instead of offering a one size fits all service.

Thank you Nancy. I only wish that the airline disaster of Dec 2022 hadn't hindered your enjoyment of some of our finds for the Fort Lauderdale area. You were awesome to work with thinking outside of the box to get you home in time for your other obligations.

A trip to remember!
Reviewed By Shawn - Dayton, Ohio | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Carol was phenomenal from start to finish! My family really wanted to stay at Pop Century to be close to the Skyliner and although we could not find vacancy she called Disney frequently in hopes of securing a reservation. She went out of her way to make this possible so the extra work was much appreciated. She checked on us during our stay and gave us little updates that were helpful. As of this writing, we currently have a second trip booked with Carol and hope to book with her for years to come!

Carol takes care of every little detail and keeps up with all of them so that you don’t have to! This was especially important as our trip was rebooked by the cruise line 2X due to Covid. Carol was on top of it and was always looking out to get us the most bang for our buck.

Best family vacation so far
Reviewed By Ray - Beavercreek, Ohio | Traveled to Panama ~ Central America
Carol is the best. We had never used a travel agent before but but this year it was different and we didn’t want to do the planning. She was referred to us by a friend and she met and exceeded our expectations. We didn’t know exactly where we wanted to go and she helped us narrow it down and gave us a bunch of options. Once we selected a location she gave us additional options and we were able to book excursions as well. When we got in country she stayed in contact and at one point we decided to cancel one excursion and go on another. In country the company gave us a hard time so I let her know and she took care of everything and ensured we received a refund. Having her there made the trip stress free and we will be definitely using her again on our next family vacation. I would encourage anyone to give her a chance because you will not be disappointed.

Loved! Can't wait to book with Carol again!
Reviewed By M Robertson - Alexandria, VA | Traveled to Saint Lucia ~ St. Kitts and Nevis ~ Caribbean
Carol guided us through the entire booking process, from start to finish - making herself readily available to answer questions, make quick pivots when we needed, and in ensuring our entire experience was what we hoped for and dreamed! We unfortunately had to make a last minute and unexpected re-schedule, and THAT alone makes it worth booking with a trusted and experienced agent - and Carol is just that. Instead of panicking, we were able to rely on Carol to handle all of the details - she managed our entire experience with an expertise and with great ease that is hard to come by. Carol made a very well informed recommendation and we cannot thank her enough. So excited to book our next experience with her.

Carol did an excellent job planning our family vacation! She helped us navigate some snags we created with our departure and while we were there. I can’t wait to plan my next adventure with her!

I'm so glad I was able to help. I have no doubt those snags did not feel minor as you were experiencing them. As our kids grow and move in so many different directions, it can be difficult to get that togetherness in the books. I'm so glad I was able to help make it happen. Next trip - Switzerland!!

Great vacations including a dream trip come true!
Reviewed By Cathy and Don - Fairborn Ohio | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
My husband and I were very pleased working with Carol. We hadn’t had but one professional planned trip before, so we’re really “green” about everything involved. She planned 3 trips for us, and all were very well done. She has unlimited patience and answered all of our questions numerous times. She made me feel like no question I asked was a silly one, and always gave an explanation when we asked for one. The places she booked for us were just what we hoped for. Once on the trips, everything went very smoothly, and that took all of the stress out of it. On the cruise trip, we were booked with one that was better than many we have heard about.
