Nancy's reviews
Nancy and I worked together to plan a three week trip to Spain. She was so incredibly helpful! After planning the places to visit (Barcelona, Granada, Acebuchal, Cordoba, Malaga, Bilbao) and deciding upon the budget for the trip, she very efficiently did research about potential places to stay, booked all of the lodging and always kept the budget in mind. Nancy was often able to get upgrades whether it be early check in, late check out or even complimentary bottles of cava! Every place we stayed was beautiful and so many wonderful memories were made in every city! — with Nancy Volk McLaughlin.

Nancy was great at meeting our travel needs! She wrote 2 great articles on our destination that helped us. Thanks to Nancy for getting us free breakfast every morning and $100 food credit for coffee and snacks! She left us a nice note upon check in and helped get us some tips and ultimately had a great trip! Will work with Nancy again.

We wanted to see the 2024 eclipse from the water. Nancy moved very quickly to research the available options and snagged us one of the last outside cabins on the ship. She was proactive and clear in her communication and very enthusiastic about this cool experience! We will happily use her advisory service again and have already booked our next HAL cruise.
