I have worked with Traci for over 20 years. She has booked friends trips, family trips, and even my honeymoon. She takes care of every detail and is always putting in extra effort to make sure that I get the best deal. She has traveled to most of the places I have traveled and recommends extra activities that only locals or regulars would know about. Traci has become more than just a travel agent. She's a true friend. I have referred her many times and would highly recommend using her services.
Kalkire - Costa Rica ~ Central America
Our family has had the pleasure of using Traci as a travel agent over the last seven yrs. When we booked our last trip in Jan 20 for Sept 20, Traci mentioned we should consider ‘trip insurance’. We thought about all the things that could go wrong that might stop us from going to Maui — the death of an elderly relative, a work conflict or a broken leg. “Pandemic” did not make our shortlist at the time. We ultimately purchased a trip insurance. We thought we’d be just fine. Fast forward to today, with the shadow of coronavirus and, boy, we were happy we’d sprung for the policy! With this policy, she took it upon herself to track/rebook new hotel/flight discounts that were being offered to entice guests to keep reservations once the ‘Go Hawaii’ travel guidelines were established. We were especially impressed with her diligence in ensuring we were getting the best pricing and comps available during the months prior to our trip.
GMN - Maui Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
Working with Traci was awesome, our vacation went flawless. It was mour first trip out of the county, needless to say we were a bit nervous, and Traci made sure every aspect of the trip was covered.
