"A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a simple step." ~ Lao Tzu This is my favorite quote. I live my life by it, and so should you. Your "first step" is just a phone call away. I will be honored to assist with making your travel dream a reality because travel is my passion. I love experiencing unique places and, most of all, different foods! Half of me wants to wander and explore, but the other half wants to be wined and dined like a Queen. There's something magical about knowing there's so much to experience in our big beautiful world.

Waikiki Beach

Imagine Italy

Italy is another place I adore. Being a "foodie," having authentic pasta and vintage wine are two of my favorite things in Italy. Not only is the food legendary, but the views are also incredible. If you can get the chance to take the train from Milan to Portofino, you will not be disappointed! Even...

Experience Hawaii

My favorite place to visit has to be Hawaii, mainly because my family is there. There is much to see and do, from the mountains to the beaches. My favorites are surfing Waikiki, hiking Diamond Head, deep-sea fishing, or leaping off Jump Rock with my 'ohana on the North Shore. I love anything that...

Friends Trip at the Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya

Our annual Friends trip was my first time at an adult-only all-inclusive in Mexico.  We stayed at the Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya.

Aloha Hawaii!
Shelly was amazing to work with and made everything easy for us! She gave my husband and I a few quotes to work with that had different price points. We were able to mix and match different hotel choices that fit better with our trip. With a trip to Hawaii that involved island hopping, Shelly's help with booking reduced our stress level. She was very responsive and quick to email back if we had questions. I would definitely use her services again on a future trip!

Dream Teip to Italy
Shelley helped plan a 25 year in the making dream come true trip to Italy. We thoroughly lived our time there thanks to her organization! We completely appreciated not having to worry about how to get to and from the airport on our first and last day. Those little details were a big deal to help us settle in. We would definitely recommend her!

Unexpected events
Shelly responded to all of our questions ensuring we were prepared for our trip. My husband experienced a medical emergency the second day of our trip. Shelly happened to be out for personal reasons but Fran was quick to assist us in locating immediate medical attention and rearrange our flights and transportation to get us back home as quickly as possible.

New Cruisers
Shelly was very nice, could tell she was relatively new setting up plans. Had to ask lots of questions and keep her up on sending payment receipts. She directed us though to best place for room on ship which we were new cruisers. Overall happy with services
