"My clients are ready for adventure," she says. "The Caribbean has become a hot spot because many locations have been open to US travelers for a while." With close to 25 years of experience planning vacations in the Caribbean, she can hook her clients up with stays at some of the region's most luxurious hotels, including Little Dix Bay in Virgin Gorda. "Hammock Cove in Antigua is also a property of interest, as it is an adult only resort with waterview or waterfront villas with plunge pools," she shares. "This is a great option for honeymoon couples or romantic getaways."

Some were Caribbean beach trips, ski trips both in the United States and Canada and others were National Park trips. She has always been very responsive, knowledgeable and had great suggestions to make our trips easier. Anytime we start to plan a trip, she is our first contact. She makes our trip planning much easier than it would be otherwise and is always available when we have questions or needs before, during or after a vacation." - Rita M. Was this page helpful?
