How does it work?
Planning with me is easy and fun! Whether you know exactly where you want to travel or need a bit of inspiration, I will help guide you while providing professional, personalized attention, and superior service to create the most memorable travel experience. You can be as involved in the planning as you'd like or let me lead the way.
Please note I do not have a storefront location. I am a home-based Travel Planner, therefore, all communication will be via email, phone and scheduled zoom calls only.
After we discuss your travel wishlist, I will begin researching the best options for packages based on your preferences. I will share a few sample itinerary's with you and we will begin to narrow down all options. Once you choose the best package, the rest is up to me to secure all aspects of your package and get you confirmed and ready to travel.

How do I get started?
Budget: Having a budget in mind is most important as my packages range from moderate to high-end luxury.
Dates: Dates are key (or a range at best). Please share a few dates that you'd ideally like to travel, dates that you are not willing to travel or that will not work for you.
Preferences: Think about what you would enjoy or not want as part of your vacation. If you prefer an adult only, all inclusive compared to a family-friendly resort, or private European tour compared to renting a car and self guided. Do you love the thought of Aruba but not Jamaica? Do you want to cruise but only from a local port because you won't fly? These are things I need to know.
These important factors are a few of the examples that will help me focus on specific destinations and pricing options for your vacation.
If you're splurging on a luxury getaway or traveling on a moderate budget, I’ll create the best package that fits for you and we work together to sort through options and make it a reality.
I work directly with Tour Operators & Cruise Lines to customize itineraries, specifically tailored to you and your travel companions.

Who do you plan vacations for?
I plan for families, couples, friends and groups of Northeast residency, (mostly NY) who are ready to plan unforgettable vacations. In a fast paced, ever changing world of travel, most of my clients come to me to plan for them as they don't have the time to research, know how or where to begin, or simply may not have interest or knowledge to plan on their own.
Nearly all of my clients are referral based.

How do we pay for our vacation?
I gladly accept most major credit cards. Credit card payments are processed via phone or a secure email payment link. Cash or check are not accepted. Please discuss optional payment plans.
Are there fees to plan or book a vacation?
At this time, I do not charge consultation or additional fees for my planning services. I am compensated directly by the resorts, tour operators and cruise lines that we partner with, after you have returned from your vacation.
What if I need to modify my reservation?
Not to worry! Give me a call or send an email. I will handle any modifications or cancellations on your booking for you.
Please be aware carriers may incur additional fees or penalties direct from the airline, tour operator, resort or cruise line. Please review cancellation/modification policies in advance.

WHAT IF I HAVE ISSUES or CONCERNS WHILE TRAVELLING?
Prior to departure, all guests will be provided phone and email contact information through our Tour Operators for in-destination issues or concerns. (for example: your ground transportation or excursion was missed, or car rental reservation needs to be revised, etc). The in-destination representatives are readily available and will assist in addressing the issue in a timely manner.
Flight issues: All delays and/or cancelled flights should be handled directly with the airline - prior to or while at the airport via ticketing agents to promptly assist you.
If you are in-destination and are not satisfied with a particular service or have a complaint, please address your concerns with the resort concierge or management, a cruise staff member or tour guide directly - while you are onsite. If it is necessary to file a formal complaint post-travel, please copy me on any correspondence, if you prefer.
If you have an emergency while travelling, (for example a health emergency or urgent need for change in travel plans), there are also emergency contact phones that will be provided to you prior to travel, however, please alert me via email or phone to notify our office of the emergency so we are aware and can follow up or take action as necessary.
