Hawaii Destination Expert

From my home base in central Pennsylvania, I relish sending people on fulfilling journeys to exotic locations. I specialize in the tropical islands of Hawaii, creating custom itineraries to fit each traveler’s needs, goals and travel dreams.

With expertise from 25 years in the travel industry, I help couples and families navigate the intricacies and logistics of creating the perfect vacation. I'm a natural planner, taking delight in designing trips that fit “bucket list” criteria. I've personally explored Hawaii multiple times, embracing the extraordinary landscape, culture and cuisine. It's as though you're in a different country, but you haven't left the United States! The nature and beauty leave an imprint on your soul. 

Hawaii has 10 of the 14 climate zones, and I thrive on highlighting each island’s unique features. My own memorable experiences include flying in a doorless helicopter over breathtaking scenery and swimming with manta rays under the twinkling stars. I help couples find unique ways to celebrate life or plan their dream wedding, such as when previous clients recited their vows on a Kona coffee farm.

Travelers benefit from my wealth of knowledge, evidenced by certifications as an O’ahu Specialist, Maui Nui Specialist, Kaua’I Specialist and Island of Hawaii Specialist. I'm also certified as a Hawaii Destination Specialist by the Hawaii Tourism Authority.

When weather delays and flight cancellations occur, as is common with tropical vacations, I'm ready and willing to re-accommodate clients at the very last minute. With expert skills from decades of work as a travel agent, I jump through hoops to get travelers to their destinations.

When not on the clock or traveling to Hawaii myself, I embrace the great outdoors and spend time with my husband and puppy, Baloo.

Magical Trip
Shannon was always very helpful. She replied promptly when I had questions, which I had lots. She is very pleasant and professional, knew her stuff when it came to planning my trip for me. I even added last minute things to my trip and she was right on top of it all.

Great times in the Mexican Riveria
We have been using Shannon for 15 years. She has always done a great job arranging our travel. One time stands out when we had a huge winter storm. She gave us good advice about staying home a few extra days and rearranging our travel plans. As it turned out we didn't have to spend time snowed in at the hotel before being able to head out on our trip. I would recommend to anyone wanting to plan a trip to give Shannon a call.

Walt Disney World - Awesome Family Vacation
Shannon was life saver! She arrange our Walt Disney World family vacation while taking on all of the last minute requests from the 8 Adults and 6 children under the age of 12 with such effortlessness. Her Disney expertise are beyond words as she came up with additional recommendations for our time in the park that we were not aware of . Shannon was a blessing to work with as the only task that we had to do was to pack our bags (she even sent a suggested list for that as well)!
