Group Trips, All-Inclusive Stays, & Corporate

As a travel agent for the past 30+ years, my travel specialties include booking group vacations, all-inclusive stays, and corporate travel. I've booked many large group trips for graduating classes, bachelor/bachelorette trips, destination weddings, and many more. Whatever you and your group are looking for, I have you covered! Booking all-inclusive trips to Turks and Caicos, St. Lucia, the Dominican Republic, and many other exotic locations, is another one of my specialties and I'd love to find the perfect deal for your next warm weather, beach vacation! I also enjoy helping business travelers plan their corporate trips. I guarantee to find the best deal and make the booking process effortless while being as hands-on (or off) during the planning process as requested. Each client and trip is different and my promise is to tailor to your wants, needs, and budget to plan the perfect getaway!

Most conscientious, great follow through !

Laura is the best!! It is wonderful to deal with one agent that knows exactly what airlines seats, hotels, cars and vacation destination we like so there are no surprises. She is quick and responsive, incredibly reliable, and is a superstar when travel plans change (weather, trip changes, cancellations).

First Trip in Retirement

My husband and I found working with Laura to be very easy. She listened well and patiently answered all of our ”first-time-traveler” questions. She consistently responded in a timely manner- even when we had to contact her from England due to a last minute change of plans. We are already working with Laura to plan our NEXT trip.

BahaMar was our best trip ever!

Laura has been so easy to work with and very knowledgeable on all destinations we have looked at or she has chosen for us. We have even been in an emergency situation while in Bahamas and she had us on a flight in 4 hours. She’s awesome and would refer to all!

Unique Riverboat Cruise

Booking cruises with Laura is always a delight!

In 2018, she planned a Riverboat cruise up the Colombian Snake River through American Queen Voyages. It was such a fun and unique experience and we are looking forward to booking our next adventure!
