Why I created this Blog

I created this blog as a place to add my thoughts and comments, as well as my clients' feedback, on vacation destinations and cruises. Although I would love to visit every vacation destination and sail on every cruise ship, I can't so I rely on my client's feedback when I make recommendations. This will be an area that my future clients can come to see what others might have thought about certain destinations, resorts and cruise ships. Although I would love to update this blog daily or very regularly, I spend a lot of time helping my clients plan their vacations so check back every so often and see what has been posted. You can always check out my website for more info as well at www.myvacationlady.com.
I've been in the travel business since 1994. I started after planning a family vacation to Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon way back. I sent my husband into a travel agency to see if they could make any better recommendations in hotels or itinerary. The only thing they did was to take over all of the reservations that I had already made so that they could get a commission. I realized that I could get into this business and really help my friends and family plan their vacations. Guess what?? It blossomed into much more than helping just friends and family. My friends and family recommended me to their friends and family and so on and so on.
Right now, 85% of my clients are either repeat, satisfied clients or those who have been recommended to me. I don't advertise. I don't need to. I take time with each client to see what they want out of a vacation. I don't try to push my interests on them. I try to match each one with a destination, resort or cruise line that they will like and that fits their requirements and needs. I spend lots of time talking to my clients - lots of emails and phone calls, some in person- because I want these clients to recommend others to me. So far, it's been working.
Email me if you would like my help in planning your vacation, honeymoon, destination wedding, family reunion or group. I'll get back to you quickly. I don't deal with thousands of clients daily. I deal with a couple and I'll make sure that you get the vacation that you want. My motto is:
Don't leave your vacation to chance............Book with a Vacation and Cruise Specialist.
I look forward to sending you away very soon!
