My Story
I'm a passionate traveler who believes in exploring the world firsthand. Alongside my family, I embark on adventures whenever possible, soaking in diverse cultures and experiences.
My Travel Style
I believe in experiencing all of the different ways there are to travel. I love them all, an all-inclusive beach resort, a cabin in the mountains, an ocean cruise liner, a train through the Rocky Mountains, a boutique room downtown, or a chain hotel room outside of the city. I like each unique adventure. I have the most personal experience with Norwegian Cruise Lines, Caribbean islands, National Parks, the continental US, Iceland, Italy, Croatia, Slovenia, and many of the domestic and global Hotel brands

Moving forward, I will only use Vanessa Hilton Tripp in planning our vacations. She was super helpful in explaining and planning excursions with us. She made it such a priority to obtain the best deal for the value for us in planning the cruise with NCL. We own a local plumbing company, mostly with repeat customers who knew we were going on this trip. We’ve passed Vanessa’s information on to numerous customers and we hope that they reach out to her for their travel needs at some point in the future. I often find travel agents somewhat comparable to salespeople. But not Vanessa. Vanessa seems to truly enjoy what she does and it shows in her professionalism and also in her excitement helping customers plan their trips. That was our experience working with Vanessa.

Vanessa always does a great job for us. The hotel was literally across the street from the port.

Tripp Planner will be our go to travel agency for any of our travel plans. The one text/email to their service on what you want you vacation to be….and presto it is done, down to the finite detail. I highly recommended using Tripp Planners for all your travel needs.

Family Summer in Europe: 16 Days on the Mediterranean
Our 16-day journey was packed with excitement, visiting 14 cities across five countries and experiencing nearly every mode of transportation. Sharing this adventure with my husband, kids, brother and sister-in-law was truly magical. My family enjoys cruising as a part of our travel adventures. Cruising with friends and family enhances the experience even more. We love cruising because it combines multiple vacations into one and provides the opportunity to see much of the world in a single trip. The convenience of unpacking just once is a significant advantage. We could explore all day while the ship traveled at night. Creating the sensation of being in a floating all-inclusive hotel, waking up in a new country each day. We learned that Mediterranean cruising is quite different from Caribbean cruising as it has a quieter and more relaxing pace. We were also fortunate to sail on one of the newest ships, the NCL Viva, part of the Prima class. This class of ships takes cruising to the next level with its thoughtful layout and design, which prevents the feeling of overcrowding. My favorite aspect was the abundance of somewhere to lounge and relax, eliminating the need to wake up early to reserve a lounge chair by the pool. This vacation allowed us to broaden our kids' horizons in a beautiful way. They experienced new cultures, appreciated diverse environments and learned life lessons that only travel can provide. This was the perfect trip to take with kids, and I encourage others not to wait to show their children the world.
