A Personal Touch
Nurturing relationships is the heart of my business and I focus on this during the entire process of customizing your trip. I have worked with many of my clients for years, who entrust their vacation planning to my careful attention. My clients call me "the queen concierge", "thankful that they found me", and "consider me a friend".
First of all, I am thankful that I found you as my travel agent so many years ago. Second, you really put all of the finishing touches on my trips. Third, I consider you a friend that I have not met in person!!!!! Thanks again for your personal touch!

A Tailored Experience
"This was the first time we have ever used a travel agent and we are so glad we picked Kris! She made sure the entire trip was perfect. She handled all the details from the big stuff like flight and hotel to the little details of transportation, tickets and tips and tricks. For us it was those little things that mattered when you are navigating a new city. She checked on us a couple times while we were there just to make sure everything was meeting our expectations which meant a lot to us! We will definitely be working with Kris again! She makes planning a trip stress free and incredibly easy."

"All told, there is no one better at covering AND anticipating your needs—there are no complicated toll-free numbers/websites/hold times or agents with ulterior motives like commission or quotas—you get Kris every time, at any time. She has your back at home and on the road—we literally could not adore her more and know that you will too!"

"I just wanted to thank you for all of your wonderful assistance with our many cruises. One reason we cruise frequently now, is YOU! Your attention to detail is greatly appreciated. While we cruise with folks who have booked directly through the cruise lines, if there is ever a question, or change, they get a different "customer service" rep every time. We just "call Kris" and it's all taken care of.You are the queen concierge of all of our travel plans!"
