    Hawaii Bucket-list Trip Success!!
    Reviewed By Matthew - Inver Grove Heights, MN | Traveled to Hawaii ~ USA
    Working with Dana to pull off a Hawaii trip was great! It was our first time using a travel agent, and we're so glad we did. Dana was super easy to work with and was very responsive to all of our questions and requests. She created a starting itinerary that fit our style and price range, and she was flexible regarding tweaks we wanted from there. Her recommendations regarding activities were spot on. The night time manta ray snorkel was a highlight of the trip, and we wouldn't have done it without her recommendation. We're also incredibly thankful that she recommended travelers insurance. The volcano on the Big Island erupted the week before we were scheduled to leave, and because we had travelers insurance, we were able to postpone the trip a few months until it was safe to go, at no additional cost to us. Dana took care of all the work of rescheduling everything and was incredibly patient through it all. Overall, the trip was a huge success, in part thanks to Dana!
    I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    Reviewed By Aaron - Minneapolis, MN | Traveled to New York ~ USA
    We've been working with Dana for years, but this particular trip she made several modifications based on changing plans. We were visiting colleges on the East Coast and cities we were unfamiliar with. We are so thankful that she had the knowledge and connections to make those changes possible. Our trip was fantastic and we enjoyed working with Dana at every step
