Mexico, Caribbean, New Orleans, Vegas Specialist

I believe that the recipe for a great vacation requires one worthwhile destination, a few of the people you love the most and a dose of comfort and relaxation that can't be found anywhere else. That last ingredient can be more challenging to find, especially if you aren't working with the right travel advisor.

As an advisor who specializes in working with travelers of size, I am able to create itineraries that address the needs of these travelers and that provide them with the comfort that they crave. My services include:

  • Recommendations for resorts that will provide my travelers with the experience they desire. I am certified with many of the top luxury resort brands, including AM Resorts, Palace Resorts, RIU and Fiesta Americana.
  • Tips for creating an itinerary that is cohesive and customized. My wife is a traveler of size, so I am aware of the logistical issues that need to be addressed in order to make sure that any plus-sized traveler has an enjoyable journey and experience abroad.
  • A sensitive approach to the vacation-planning process. I am aware of the challenges that travelers of size may face, and I am able to address many of the questions and concerns that my travelers before they depart on their vacation.

I will research and book trips to any destination around the globe, but I particularly enjoy booking tropical vacations to beachfront locales. Mexico and Jamaica are two of my favorite places to send my clients. I also recommend New Orleans and Las Vegas to those who are looking for a cultural experience that is filled with endless options for entertainment.

I am here to plan the vacation that you want and need. Contact me today to learn more about the best deals available for your next trip.

New Orleans Destination Specialist

A Picturesque New Orleans Alleyway

New Orleans Destination Specialist

<p>New Orleans is a unique North American city. Some call it "the northernmost city in the Caribbean". While swimming along the mighty Mississippi River isn't advised, the laid-back vibe is certainly reminiscent of that tropical region.<br /><br />Most everyone knows about the (in)famous Bourbon Street and all of the more sophisticated charms in the surrounding French Quarter. There's also nothing like a streetcar ride through the Garden District...or strolling down Magazine Street in Uptown. <br /><br />Music is the heartbeat of the Crescent City. New Orleans is the birthplace of jazz and one can hear classic and contemporary takes on this American creation day and night. <br /><br />New Orleans is a world-class restaurant. For seafood lovers in particular, it is a dream come true. For most everyone else, it is easy to find an eatery to fit one's taste and wallet. <br /><br />As many sailings depart from New Orleans, it makes an excellent pre- or post-cruise destination.<br /><br />Finally, it's the people that make New Orleans special: hospitable and resilient, they are the reason why visitors return year after year. <br /><br />My wife, a New Orleans native, helped me fall in love with this city. It almost feels like a second home to me. I was inspired to pursue a specialist program as certified by the New Orleans Convention and Visitors Bureau. I look forward to showing you why New Orleans makes for a memorable holiday.</p>

Tony helped us arrange a trip up the Pacific Coast Highway. We flew into San Diego, got a rent-a-car and took 18 days to meander our way to San Francisco. Tony arranged all the hotels and made many fine suggestions on what to see. We had one Mix-up with two hotels being reversed and Tony fixed it as soon as I noticed it. We had one hotel lose our prepaid reservations and Tony called them and got us exactly the rooms we'd wanted. The little boutique hotel he picked for us in Santa Barbara was particularly nice. All the hotels were comfortable and reasonably priced. We had a smashing good time. Such a good time that we are going to ask Tony to help us see New Orleans this fall.

Tony's been a friend for many years but we had no idea he was a travel specialist. We emailed him about a Christmas vacation &amp; asked him what might be available. ITALY!! He &amp; I started planning, telling me step by step what he was doing &amp; finding. We chose a Cosmos tour that was reasonably priced, the destinations were wonderful &amp; I started packing for my partner n me in my head. Mr. Harrell is highly professional &amp; didn't look for short cuts b/c of our friendship. He is extremely knowledgable, highly motivated and excels in people skills. He made sure that all of our extra activities were booked &amp; when the itinerary package came, all the tickets &amp; confirmations were there. Not one detail was left to chance. We have since booked with him twice, once for a Christmas cruise &amp; once for a European trip of a lifetime. Without Tony's assistance we would never have had the superior holiday abroad. He even helped with suggestions about cell phone access, plans &amp; extra hidden charges. As well as electricity issues. I have and will continue to recommend Tony Harrell to friends &amp; family.
