Cathy was so great to work with!! She was fast to respond, book, and help me extend a stay. She also knows how to treat ya right—had the hotel surprise me with some little gifties for my birthday. 10/10 will use again and def recommend her :)

Cathy - You are amazing! You were patient with us and listened to what we were saying, having never traveled before, and we listened to you and the information you had. You made everything so incredibly easy for us and would love to use you in the future as well. Thank you for everything.

Usually we always plan our own trips but decided that this time life had too much going on that we would take a shot at using a travel advisor. We were so glad that we did!!
Cathy was incredibly communicative from the moment we reached out to her even while navigating her own daughter’s graduation. Cathy not only offered suggestions factoring in cost, comfort and primary goal of the trip (really relaxing) but she sent a daily template of where to go and what to see while we were there.
I could go on and on about how amazing the experience has been but I will not. I say just do it!! We have already recommended people to use her services and we have been home for 1 week! Cathy, thank you for making what felt overwhelming to accomplish at the time into a streamlined and painless process.
