No, I do not charge planning, research or booking fees. I don’t believe in adding to the cost of your vacation.
I do ask for a plan-to-go deposit, which is applied to the final payment of your vacation.
No. Most of the time you’ll pay the same price (or less) by working with a travel agent. Plus, I’ve built relationships with suppliers, so you’ll get exclusive additional amenities by booking through me that you wouldn’t get by booking on your own.
Commission. Any time you make a booking, the price you pay already includes agent commission (yes, even on Expedia). Why not work with me to get my service and expertise, for free?
Plan-to-go deposit: a non-refundable deposit made after your complimentary vacation consultation, which gets you into our travel planning schedule. This deposit is applied to the final payment of your vacation.
Booking deposit: a deposit made directly to the vendor to secure your vacation. Booking deposits must be made within 60 days of your vacation consultation, or the plan-to-go deposit will be forfeit.
All payments can be made using major credit or debit cards.
Yes. We can schedule monthly payments until the final payment is due.
All sorts of travelers! I specialize in family travel, including traveling with infants, toddlers, young children, tweens and teens, and families with adult children; multi-generational trips with Grandma and Grandpa; family reunions.
I also plan vacations for groups including friend groups (with or without children), church groups, book clubs, etc.
You can book your couple’s getaways and solo travel with me, too!
Again, all sorts! You can view my scheduled departures for the following: all-inclusive resorts, river and ocean cruises, cultural bus tours, and cultural rail journeys.
I can also plan a customized vacation just for you, with no additional fees.
Mexico and the Caribbean, Asia and Europe are my specialties. Looking to go somewhere else? No problem! I can utilize my supplier relationships to book your vacation anywhere in the world.
Yes! Whether you’re going on a guided tour, or want to go on day tours from your resort, I’ve got a selection of recommendations for you. I’ll also provide you with dining recommendations for different parts of your vacation.
Yes, and I highly recommend it for every trip. You will receive a quote for your vacation once the deposit has been made.
My regular business hours are 9am-5pm, Mon-Fri.
However, I offer 24/7 support while you’re on your trip, should anything come up.
The best way is to book a one-on-one complimentary vacation consultation with me. We can schedule this during the day, or after business hours. Contact me to find a time that works for you!
No, I am based from home or wherever my travels take me. We can chat over the phone, video call, or we can meet at a local Sioux Falls area coffee shop.
