Planning 

What do our clients say?

"From the moment we met her, we knew she was the one. Friendly, knowledgeable, and refreshingly non-pushy, Melanie listened to what we wanted and never tried to steer us in a direction that didn’t feel right. Once we picked our destination, she rolled up her sleeves and got to work—offering thoughtful options, refining our itinerary again and again until it felt tailor-made for us."
"The most MAGICAL PLACE is also the MOST draining place but man are we having a good time! Doulbe trouble is in full effect! You know what makes it easier? Having a fantastic Travel Agent - one who makes your life easier and texts you places to go based on where you are at! We couldn't have done it without Melanie! What ease and so many tips and tricks! To include enjoying the moment! "
"We want to thank you for all of your guidance and efforts to set our family up for an amazing trip! It went pretty much perfect outside enduring the weather, but we made the most of it! You were a huge help in making that possible. Thank you again for everything you have done. "
