My Travel Stories

Greek Island Hopping
My husband and I traveled to Greece to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. It did not disappoint!  We spent several days in Athens, walking the old cobbled streets that had stories to tell, popping into quaint restaurants to try new foods and exploring all of the ancient remains. We wandered and wandered and the more we explored, the ...

    Show Up and Enjoy
    Reviewed By Red - Huntington, WV | Traveled to Washington ~ USA
    Kristen planned a trip to Washington State. She booked all of the hotels, ferries, and created an incredible itenerary that included three National Parks (Mount Rainier, Olympic, and North Cascades) and downtown Seattle. She pays attention to detail (i.e. what time you have to get to the Hoh Rainforest to not have to wait in a two hour line.) She is quick and courteous to respond. It was so nice to just have to show up and enjoy a fabulously planned out amazing week! Thank you, Kristen! Looking forward to whatever you’re going to book for me next!
    I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    Trip of a Lifetime
    Reviewed By Grandparents - Lexington, KY | Traveled to Caribbean Sea ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
    First of all, it was an amazing experience for us all. Well worth every penny!
    My overall impression after being on 15 other cruises was that Disney does it better in almost every way.

    Best entertainment I have ever experienced on any cruise. Service was outstanding, especially with the children. The ship was well designed and spacious. The decor was pure Disney and just beautiful.

    One of my favorite things was the service you provided by getting the early dinner seating. The late seating would have been a disaster with our group.

    Our absolute favorite thing was experiencing the magic of Disney through the eyes of our grandchildren. It doesn’t get better than that!

    Thank You for providing your service and helping to make our spring break, the trip of a lifetime.
    I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    First Cruise was Amazing
    Reviewed By S Dechant - Kettering, OH | Traveled to Caribbean Sea ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
    When I had the opportunity to go on a spring break trip with my three teen boys, all my friends suggested a cruise! I had never cruised before , nor had I used a travel agent. Kristen helped me choose a ship, booked our airfare, and answered all my questions! She even made sure my exchange student had the right travel documents! I will definately be using Kristen for my spring break travels next year! Maybe not a cruise, but for sure the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas!
    I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    Disney Cruise
    Reviewed By M. Murphy - Centerville, OH | Traveled to Bahamas ~ Caribbean
    We just got back from a Disney cruise. The whole family had a great time, and my grandkids want to do it again. Kristen made things easy by arranging our trip and transportation. She also set up pre and post cruise hotels.
    I loved her cruise tips as this was our first.
    Thanks Kristen
