Travel Advisor Specializing in Mexico & Caribbean

More than 30 years ago, I decided to pursue a career in the travel industry. I wanted to become a travel agent because I personally love exploring new cities and exciting destinations, but also because I knew every day on the job would be different than the last. Each day is an opportunity to work with a new client who has unique travel dreams, and I am the one who can transform those dreams into reality.

I am proud to say that I have booked trips for my clients to destinations all around the world. I specialize in booking trips to the Caribbean and Mexico, and I love booking cruises and honeymoons for my travelers. Some of the most interesting trips I have planned include:

An African Safari — This luxury safari experience allowed my travelers to take in the sights and sounds of the African countryside, and even get a glimpse of the majestic Big Five.

A Fiji Vacation — This exotic locale can be difficult to reach, but I was able to coordinate the logistics to create a seamless and memorable experience on this stunning tropical island.

In addition to crafting unique itineraries based on my clients' interests and budgets, I also am a valuable resource for my travelers. Throughout their entire trip, I am available to help them in the event of unexpected challenges or emergency circumstances. Once, I was able to help my client who was traveling on an Alaskan cruise get to the nearest airport in order to return home, as his sister had unexpectedly passed away. Another time, my clients arrived only to find out their luggage had been lost. They had to board their 14-day cruise without their suitcase, but I worked with the airport to get their luggage on the ship within a few days.

Cruise Expert

<p>The best thing about being a travel agent is that I get to help clients plan trips to destinations all around the globe aboard a cruise ship. Whether you want to travel to the Bahamas or the Caribbean Islands, Hawaii or Europe, I am well-qualified to make the arrangements, so you'll have the best possible travel experience. </p>
<p>I completed travel school in 1987, and worked for a time in California, but later moved to northern Virginia, where I have served as an enthusiastic travel agent ever since.</p>
<p>My goal is to send clients on their journeys filled with confidence and high expectations, knowing that all the details have been arranged, from booking the "right" cabin to knowing which are the best seasons to visit various locations. I work diligently to arrange the most direct and convenient transportation to and from a cruise port, and I can also coordinate sightseeing and pre- and post-cruise travel. Informed travelers are confident travelers, and I always share as much information as possible so that my clients are knowledgeable about all their options and contingencies.</p>
<p>Because there are a lot of details involved in planning and booking a cruise, I understand that my clients may not be aware of some of the "hiccups" that can occur. But, because I have firsthand experience with the myriad details of trip planning, I have the knowledge and expertise that makes working with both first-time travelers and experienced cruisers as pleasant as possible.</p>
<p>I want everyone to be sold on cruises, just as I am, not only because of the places they can go, but because of all the shipboard activities that exist to keep everyone entertained while at sea. </p>
<p>Whether you plan a short getaway to a sunny island, or a continent-spanning multi-week voyage, call on me to assist with all the arrangements. I will ensure that your trip is a memorable experience.</p>

Sarah is a wonderful, happy, knowledgeable travel agent! I love working with her. She makes planning a trip so easy for us., whether it's a european vacation with my husband or a summer vacation to Disney with the family. She thinks of everything we might need when traveling. I won't use anyone else to make my travel plans.
