About Me

SNAPSHOT: Providing an expertise in cruises, both ocean & river cruises. Additionally, providing an expertise in All-Inclusive vacations, all things Disney and a commitment to provide all of us with special needs the necessary accommodations as we travel. Please read more for specific details.  

In July of 2009, after 35 years in the insurance & investment business, with the encouragement of family & friends, I started Your Travel More Store (YTMS), an independent, Louisville, KY, based travel agency. In the spring of 2013, YTMS became an affiliated travel agency with Nexion. LLC, an international travel agency headquartered in suburban Dallas, TX. I have chosen to specialize in cruise related travel, BUT with my affiliation with Nexion, I can provide the products and services that any other “full service” travel agency provides. I can book air, lodging, car rental, tours, resorts, corporate travel, travel insurance and much more.

I am pleased to let you know that I have developed a pretty good expertise in the whole world of cruising. I have had great experience with Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, Princess, Norwegian, Disney, Carnival & Viking, to name a few cruise lines. I have also had great experiences with All-Inclusive vacations. Sandals tops my list of All-Inclusive resorts, but I also have had really good experience with Beaches Resorts, RIU Resorts, Palladium and Royalton Resorts.  I can do all things Disney. So, all you grandparents, let me know when you want to take your crew to Disney.

One last, large travel niche that I am very good at is the arena of what is considered special needs travel. It is estimated that 63 million travelers in the U.S. need some sort of special accommodation when they travel. Maybe they need to walk with a walker, maybe they need dialysis while on vacation, maybe they need distilled water for their C-PAP. I am one of these special needs travelers. I know that I need some special accommodations when I travel. Thus, know that I am able to assist you with your special needs as you travel. I look forward to assisting you with your travel and vacation needs.

Thanks

A wonderful getaway!
Reviewed By Sara - Louisville, KY | Traveled to Highlands, North Carolina; St. Thomas, USVI
Incredible! Mr. Brooks was always available and equipped with so much knowledge on our trip. We weren’t sure where we wanted to go, so he listened well to us and suggested places that would best suit us. His extensive travel knowledge helped us narrow down where we wanted to be and he made sure it would be as smooth as possible. His knowledge of all the small details as well really helped our trip go smoothly.

My Favorite Place in The World

As a child,  growing up 15 miles from the Townsend entrance to the Great Smokey Mountains National Park, we frequently took day trips to the park. During the summer, we would swim at what we called the “Y” and at a swimming hole about 100 yards downriver from the Y. My absolutely Afavorite destination in the Park was Cades Cove. We would picnic ...

MY WILD KINGDOM/NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MOMENT IN ALAS

During my first ever visit to Alaska, we traveled to Denali National Park and took a day long bus ride into the interior of the park. Mount Denali was free of clouds, the sky was completely clear and bright blue, and the view and massiveness of Mount Denali was amazing. As we rode along, a fellow passenger yelled out “Bear”. On a rock outcroppin...
