Family Vacation & Group Travel Specialist

Alicia is a great travel agent who provides accurate updated information, timely responses to questions, and is attentive to her clients wishes! She is spirited and fun to work with! We highly recommend her!

Alicia was absolutely GREAT! She was very knowledgeable when it came to the Sandals resorts, which in turn allowed us to make the best decision for our want/needs. We will definitely be using Alicia future travel planning! Thank you for handling ALL the details so that we could be stress free and just show up to enjoy our vacation!

Alicia is quick to send options for travel we have taken either as a couple or as a family. She responds to all questions and has never steered us wrong in anything. She has always been a great help and will be using her for our next trip in March!

From the time we asked Alicia to find us a trip to Aruba to the day we got back she was involved every step of the way. The Riu was amazing and a perfect fit for us. Flights and transfers were easy to navigate. The Island is a must see as a traveler. Don’t be a tourist be a traveler! Eat their food, learn their culture, explore the island from coast to coast. You won’t Be disappoint

We had a fantastic time at the RIU in Cabo. The experience was amazing and we enjoyed every minute of our trip. Thank you Alicia for all you did to make this a memorable experience.

Alicia was thorough right from the beginning in getting the flights, car rental, hotels, and river cruise booked in a timely manner. Communication was good throughout the process. Because of low water levels on the Rhine River, we had some last minute decisions to make regarding whether or not to cancel the trip. She was very patient, helpful, and kind during our decision making process. She explained our options so that we could make an informed decision.

Had a very good experience! We had to b bussed one night to a Hyatt Regency on the Rhine River! Couldn’t have asked for better accommodations. Food was excellent, rooms very clean, and service excellent.

Thanks, Alicia for the help you gave us to plan this trip. You gave us appropriate alternatives to choose from. You followed through with vendors to confirm our choices. Your presentation of travel documents was just what we needed. Great Job.

Alicia helped us plan the trip of a lifetime to Scotland and Ireland. she knew exactly what seats we would want in our flight. Having not traveled internationally in decades, there were a lot of little items I was not aware of. She walked us through the process and helped us remember important dates on what needed done. When our luggage didn’t arrive in the same city that we did, she was able to locate it for us -something the airliner couldn’t do for days. Today she helped fill out the claim forms for the lost luggage. I recommend her greatly!

This trip was taken by myself and my parents. Alicia made sure that we were able to get from place to place via our personal drivers who were very knowledgeable and very different. While the airline let us down, Alicia did not. On her own initiative she did what the entirety of Air Lingus could not and found my lost luggage. It was through her careful trip planning that we three had the most magical time, and I'm already planning my return trip.

This was our first time traveling out of the country as well as to an all-inclusive resort. Alicia had everything we needed laid out and explained for us ahead of time making the experience easy and stress free.

We had a great trip to all inclusive with some friends! We enjoyed our time and had no hiccups on any of our travel!

Alicia planned a trip for our group of 21 people (9 adults, 12 children 12-18). We went to London, Oxford, the Cotswolds, and Paris with an additional day trip to the Champagne region of France. Wishing that trip we hit Buckingham, Windsor, Versailles, and many more historic landmarks. She planned private travel within the countries and guides. Each were outstanding. The ease of having the tickets and transfers taken care of allowed us more time to rest and enjoy the trip. Our hotels were clean and comfortable and in wonderful locations to explore on our own. It was such a memorable trip and Alicia was helpful each step of the way.

Working with Alicia was one of the best decisions we made for our trip. From the very beginning, she took the time to help us plan an unforgettable European vacation for our large group, and she thought through every detail so we didn’t have to. Coordinating multiple families, hotels, transportation, tours, and guides across England and France is no small task, but Alicia made everything feel completely seamless. She arranged all of our transportation, booked wonderful local guides, and even found us last-minute transportation to Disneyland Paris without missing a beat. Knowing she was just a message away gave us so much peace of mind throughout the trip. The hotels she chose were fantastic. We loved all of them, but our stays in London and especially the Cotswolds were absolute favorites. Every recommendation she made helped make our trip even more special. What sets Alicia apart is how much she genuinely cares about her clients. She was incredibly organized, responsive, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect. Because of her hard work, we were able to focus on spending time with our family and friends and making memories that we’ll treasure forever. Thank you, Alicia, for helping make this trip everything we hoped it would be and more. We are so grateful for all the time, effort, and care you put into every detail, and we can’t wait to work with you again on our next adventure!

This is my 3rd time booking with Alicia, but this time was with a group of people. She was very gracious in working with us and coordinating different schedules. She gave us all the information we needed to have a blast and not worry about a thing. Everything went off without a hitch, and I wish I could go back! Highly recommend working with her; she knows her stuff!

She was so knowledgeable about locations and resorts. She was able to find us the perfect place and plan everything that we needed.

The cruise and our time in Vancouver were awesome! It was our first ever cruise and I would use Alicia as a travel agent again without hesitation. We were a bit nervous but Alicia was knowledgeable, helpful, and patient. I was confident with the information she provided. She was responsive to questions and even printed all our paperwork out and went over every step to expect getting on and off the ship. The only unpleasant snag we ran into had nothing to do with the cruise or her services and was something she couldn't have known about. I would recommend her and would use her services again.

Alicia was fantastic! Disney can be very overwhelming. I know this from my family’s first trip. For this trip, we decided to ask Alicia for help. She walked us through our days, even the order of rides. She gave us tips on what to visit and what we may want to skip due your kids’ ages. She booked everything for us, and she gave great food recommendations. We went on literally every ride at every Disney park, some more than once! It was a week of making memories I hope my children keep forever. I know I will.

Alicia was great to work with. She's pleasant, professional, and provided timely information for planning our American Cruise Line Lake Michigan cruise and scheduling excursions.

The planning process was smooth and efficient. Perfect balance of down time and fun activities. We had family members from 6 to 75 years old

Alicia is a wonderful travel agent. She had all of our documents in order for our trip, and answered all of our questions. If we had concerns and we called her, she was available to answer them.

Costa Rica was unforgettable, and staying at both The Springs Resort in La Fortuna and Andaz Costa Rica Resort at Peninsula Papagayo gave us the best of two completely different worlds. The Springs Resort exceeded our expectations. The property is absolutely breathtaking, with incredible views of Arenal volcano and beautifully maintained grounds. The natural hot springs were a highlight, offering multiple pools with varying temperatures that made it easy to relax after a day of exploring. The staff was warm, welcoming, and eager to help. We also loved the on-site activities and nearby wildlife—it truly felt like we were immersed in Costa Rica's rainforest. If you're looking for adventure combined with luxury, this is the place to stay. And, a day trip into La Fortuna was easy to plan, along with other off-site adventures, through the resort's concierge team! After the rainforest, we headed to Andaz Costa Rica Resort at Peninsula Papagayo, which was the perfect way to end our vacation. The resort blends seamlessly into the natural surroundings while offering modern luxury and exceptional service. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, the restaurants served excellent food, and the pools and beach areas were beautiful and relaxing. We especially appreciated the peaceful atmosphere and the attentive staff, who made every part of our stay feel effortless. We also loved the family-friendly activities like empanada class, Papagayo Park and shuttle access to other resorts and the marina! What made the trip even more memorable was experiencing two distinct sides of Costa Rica. The Springs showcased the country's lush rainforests, volcanoes, and adventure, while the Andaz offered stunning Pacific Ocean views, beautiful beaches, and a tranquil coastal escape. Costa Rica itself was amazing—friendly people, incredible biodiversity, delicious food, and a strong commitment to preserving its natural beauty. We left already talking about when we can return.

Alicia was truly the best. She provided us with multiple options for our honeymoon vacation, kept us informed throughout the process, and even watched flight prices so we could get the best deal. She gave recommendations for excursions, provided a detailed packet before we left, and was curious how our trip was when we returned! I would definitely recommended Alicia for planning your vacations!

Highly recommended! Alicia has booked several trips for us and every single one goes off without a problem

Alicia always makes travel so easy. I really can just say find me an all inclusive resort somewhere new and here’s my budget and she delivers every time. The package she sends ahead of travel has everything I need and all of that is taken care of by her.

This was our 4th trip to the Valentine and we love this place. Staff, food and drinks all great! Cannot wait to go back!

Had such a great trip! Alicia is always great about getting everything set up from transportation there & back to making sure we know all about the resort. We will be going back for sure!

My husband and I traveled to St Lucia and had an amazing week staying at the Sandals Resort (Grand Saint Lucian). While my husband has jumped out of air crafts for most of his life, I experienced my first helicopter ride from the airport to the island. The views were absolutely stunning. We enjoyed a day of zip lining through the rain forest. What a RUSH! Most of all we enjoyed all the food and just soaking up the sun on the beautiful beach. A huge thank you to Alicia Cooper, the absolute best travel agent around!

Alicia is extremely accommodating and always works with me despite me constantly changing plans! Highly recommend working with her and her team!

From early on Alicia gave us options to look at and was very accomodating to our needs. First time to Mexico for some of us and we followed her suggestions and tips for the trip. We are already to go back again!

Alicia did a wonderful job setting up the trip and helping research and book excursions. We had a blast.

This trip was Fantastic with friends & family even though it was 7 weeks after the hurricane you wouldn’t even know as they worked hard to get back up & running. Entertainment, Food and all the vibes were spot on! They thanked us so much for coming to support them post hurricane! Also Alicia you were fantastic with you communication-keeping us informed and answering all our questions! Will definitely use you again!!

Each time we use Live a Little Travel, Alicia Cooper, and her vast knowledge of resources, she shines! This is our 4th time using her for a Disneyworld resort/parks trip, and she did not disappoint. She was able to help us prepare with dates, payments, options of dining, and best use of our budget for lightening lanes, and pacing. Her own personal travel to locations such as Disney, their resorts, and dining options helps give her more than just a "paper-knowledge" of travel, but a hands-on, "here's what I would do" wisdom.

We were not sure what to expect going into this trip with being so close to Hurricane Melissa, but we were so happy we didn't cancel our vacation. Alicia was there with us every step of the way guiding us to make the right decision for our trip. She gave us options to guarantee we enjoyed our vacation even if it needed to be moved to a different date or location. We followed our resorts Facebook fan page and made the choice to continue with our trip. Absolutely zero regrets!! Getting through the Jamaican airport was a breeze. The people of Jamaica were so grateful for choosing their country to vacation. The resort was beautiful, pools were all open, beach was clear and clean, drinks strong, food was above average, the staff was very upbeat, lots of night entertainment along with daytime fun. This hotel is more of a "party" resort but there are also plenty of areas that are not "party". We upgraded to the oceanfront room and that was a must! The views were amazing. I have already been looking into an all inclusive vacation to take our 2 kids on with us!!

Alicia and I have never physically met but I have used her for 5+ trips over the years, because she's wonderful. Always quick to respond, has insights to properties and can make suggestions based on what we're looking for. Her information is always very detailed and helpful when traveling. Thanks for all the wonderful trips you've planned for us!

Alicia was wonderful with communication and made our trip the best experience.

Our experience with Alicia and Live A Little Travel has been the best. Knowing who Alicia was coming from The same small town and supporting her years ago as she stepped away from the corporate world was an easy decision! She has planned 4 trips so far for us! We have a rebook in 2028 and need to start thinking about Disney! I won’t use any other company! She makes it easy, stress free!

In July we embarked on an unforgettable trip to Italy and Switzerland, and I can’t thank Alicia and Live A Little Travel enough for making it all so seamless, personalized, and stress-free! From the very first consultation, they took the time to understand our travel style, interests, and pace. Every detail—from the hotels to the private tours and scenic train rides—was perfectly curated. What always stands out (we are a repeat client!) is the level of care and communication from planning and then throughout the trip. Alicia is always available and willing to help. If you’re thinking about a European adventure, I couldn’t recommend Live A Little Travel more highly. They turned our dream itinerary into reality and exceeded every expectation. Grazie mille & Vielen Dank for an amazing journey!

The Grand Princess was a very nice ship. Lots to do on board and the crew were lovely. The food at sit down dinners and buffet was just “meh”. Frequently overcooked and unappetizing. Breakfast, desserts and coffee were great. The poolside pizza was the star of the show and poolside grill was close 2nd

Alicia is so sweet. She is organized and on top of everything. We have booked 4 trips with her so far. She is proactive and always anticipating our every need. She is amazing!

Fun, food and drinks in the sun. Great trip to Jamaica!

My husband & I went to Sandals Negril on our honeymoon & had a great time and enjoyed it very much! We want to go back again to a different resort in the future!

We had an excellent trip and Alicia was a delight to work with! She had every day planned from park open to close and identified which rides needed lightening lanes, best food options-her insight was invaluable and she was also highly responsive to my questions in a timely fashion! I will definitely be using her again!

We had a great time on our Alaskan cruise. Alaska is a must see. Norwegian Cruise Line was exceptional. Alicia our Travel Agent was fantastic. Everything was in order, communication was exceptional. We received everything in order and knew exactly what we needed to do.

We had the best time. Would recommend it to anybody. Excursions blossom. Most of all the people were great. The food was awesome and very orderly.

So beautiful…accommodations were lovely

Alicia was so helpful in helping to plan a trip to Disney for us. She is so knowledgeable on the resorts, the parks and all of the details that you may not know. As a first time visitor to Disney there is no way I would have been able to navigate this process with out her guidance.

We spent 2 weeks between Maui and Oahu for a family vacation. Alicia gave us options for different activities/hotels and all were great. This trip was one we will remember for years!

We had an amazing trip! Alicia took away all the stress of planning a trip and we just showed up to the airport and were off!

This was our first vacation outside of the US and we initially looked at trying to book and plan everything ourselves. That process was overwhelming. We didn't even have a specific destination other than the Caribbean. Alicia took our requirements and was able to give us an incredible experience to celebrate 2 college and 2 high school grads and make memories we won't forget. Easy to work with, pricing was great, and Secrets Royal Beach was just wonderful!

We dont take many vacations. We decided to do a trip to celebrate college and high school graduation. I communicated with Alicia what we liked and didnt like on our past trips and she sent us a few options. The Dreams Resort and Spa in Punta Canta was fabulous. What made it even better was upgrading to Preferred Club. We were treated like Royalty. Alicia took care of everything from completing the etickets for international travel to making our checked bags reservations. I have terrible travel anxiety and Alicia made all that go away with everything she did. Highly recommend using her for your next trip. I know we will!

Alicia helped us book hotels in two different areas in California. We explored the Napa Valley area first and then traveled to Yosemite National Park and Sequoia National Park. Both locations were close to the areas we wanted to explore. We especially enjoyed the reservation near Yosemite and would recommend it to others. We appreciated the recommendations and thoroughly enjoyed our trip.

We are so thankful for Alicia! She helped us squeeze in a family vacation with all of our different schedules and obligations. We will never plan a trip on our own again. Alicia makes things so easy - from start to finish!

We had a fantastic time on our Alaskan Cruise which Alicia helped us plan. Alicia was always patient with my numerous questions and so kind. She prepared us well and everything was as expected. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Alicia and her team. We are already working with them on our next cruise vacation.

Alicia planned a trip for my family in 2018. We haven't done a big family vacation like that one until this year (life got really busy!). So when my family decided we wanted to do a big vacation this year, I knew Alicia would help to plan another amazing vacation for us. I provided Alicia with a few islands/countries that were on our wish list and she replied with recommendations for resorts for each location. She included information on the resort, beach conditions, restaurant attire, food review, etc, everything that helped us to make a decision. When I met with her to go over the documents and paperwork about 3 weeks before the trip, she had everything we needed in a plastic travel folder that made everything so easy! She truly thought of everything...including a luggage packing list. My family had a great time at Secrets Royal Beach in Punta Cana, DR. Would definitely go back. The trip was booked via Apple Vacation, which means AmStar was our transportation between the ai

Alicia was great at planning our trip. She had great recommendations and scored us fun upgrades for a great price!

Alicia did an amazing job! We have now used her services for a family trip to Disney and a girls trip to Vegas- she was thorough and insightful for both. She is incredibly easy to work with and is very detail oriented. We will definitely call her for our next travel needs.

We had an amazing trip to Italy through Collette travel. It was very well organized offering amazing tours and lots of free time to explore on our own. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed a Collette tours trip to Tuscany region in Italy. This was an exceptional trip, one of the best experiences I've ever had. Amazing immersion of culture, experiences, local food and wines and the absolute best tour guide! Truly was an awesome vacation and would recommend it to anyone.

My girlfriends and I booked an incredible trip to a Tuscany with Alicia. She made the process simple and seamless! The trip was gorgeous, relaxing and we saw so many wonderful historic sites.

From the planning to the advice to handling all of the details/logistics...can't recommend Alicia highly enough! Do yourself a favor and let Alicia handle all of your travel needs. You won't regret it!

Alicia booked us a great trip for Spring Break. Everything went off without a hitch from Chicago to Cancun and back.

Alicia booked us a great trip for Spring Break. Everything went off without a hitch from Chicago to Cancun and back.

Alicia planned us truly the best vacation we've ever taken. It was our first all-inclusive experience and she did a great job making sure we knew exactly what to expect. We had a great time and will definitely be asking her about future trips!

Working with Alicia made everything so much easier. All we had to do was follower her instructions in the packet she provided. She even checked in with us before the trip and was very responsive with every question we had.

Had a great trip with no glitches. Thank you so much for everything!!

We have used Alicia’s services several times. She is top notch and very knowledgeable ! We appreciate her attention to detail and her organization when it comes to documents needed to make for a smooth and enjoyable vacation!

Great trip! Leaving the punta Cana airport was not fun.

She did everything for us and made sure we did our part too. Resort was awesome!!

Alicia was able to masterfully put together an amazing trip within just a few weeks for my mom's 70th birthday trip for 5 of us. My mom and 3 sisters and I were able to relax and let Alicia handle the airfare, hotel and location for us in Key West. It was so great to let Alicia know an idea of what we were looking for and she really came through with several options and budget-friendly ideas. This is the second trip Alicia and her team have planned for me and I plan to come back!

Alicia was very helpful and accommodating and kept us up-to-date on our cruise which was nice especially since we had a group of 16 going. Thank you for all your help.

We had a wonderful time on our trip. First, knowing you had everything organized took the pressures off of us and if we did have a problem we new we could call you for help. Stopping for 3 days in San Diego was great, the zoo was the best, and we didn't have to worry about missing our flight to Hawaii on Friday, if the weather had been bad in Chicago. I highly recommend cruising the islands with Norwegian. We saw 4 different islands and didnt waste time checking in and out of hotels and running to airports. I would repeat this trip in a heartbeat, and we saw lots of ?? whales. Looking forward to our next trip.

My entire experience with Alicia was nothing but the best. She was very attentive to all of my requests and provided many choices of types and places to go. We were celebrating our honeymoon and she went out of her way to find a special place for us. The entire experience was top notch!

Alicia helped us plan a last minute girls getaway and everything was 110% perfect for us! Easy flights, nonstop quick transfers and a lovely resort with a private pool for adults. So well executed and organized!

We had a great experience with Alicia at Live A Little Travel in Elpaso, Il. She planned two big trips for us this summer. One trip was in July, a week in California with our 14 yr old grandsons. She arranged flights, perfect accommodations for us according to our itinerary, and a rental car that got us where we needed to be. We went to baseball games in Anaheim, Los Angeles and San Diego along with Disney Land, the beach and fun activities in between.
In August we flew to New York for a week with 4 teenage boys for another baseball game, sightseeing, 911 Memorial, Times Square, shopping, etc. We then took Amtrak to Toronto, Canada for another baseball game. We then flew out of Toronto for home.
Alicia made everything fall into place for us. We had absolutely no glitches!! We will absolutely be using her again for further travel.

Alicia was super easy to work with and very patient as we made SEVERAL changes to our itinerary! All accomodations, plane and train reservations and several tours that she recomended were all amazing!

We had a group of 8 couples looking for the perfect "friends" trip when we reached out to Alicia. From the start, she could not have been more accommodating and quick to respond to all of our questions. Alicia provided our group with a number of options that fit our price range, and when we picked a resort that was still under construction leading up to our trip, she regularly provided updates and alternatives in case construction wasn't complete. Fortunately, our resort was ready by the time of our arrival and we had an absolutely amazing trip. Our trip required several types of transportation from the plane we arrived on, to the airport shuttle to a dock, and eventually our boat ride to the resort. Each stage went as planed, and our group knew what to expect which diminished much of the stress of traveling. Alicia was very excited about the Impressions Isla Mujeres by Secrets resort we picked, and it truly lived up to our expectations.

Alicia was wonderful! We have had the pleasure of having her plan 2 of our trips and already are looking to plan the next couple with her. She gave us many options to choose from
With one what we were looking for. She helped us find the perfect adult only, all inclusive resort for our 20th anniversary getaway. It was beautiful and luxurious. We had an incredible swim out, ocean view suite.

Alicia is very friendly, knowledgeable, and patient (we can be indecisive!). She researched several options for us and then helped guide us in making a decision. Provided lots of good information prior to our trip to help us make sure we were all ready to go. We had a great time and everything went very smoothly. Will definitly use Alicia again to help plan our next trip.

Alicia has always been a pleasure to deal with and her service is greatly appreciated.

Alicia helped us pick a wonderful family friendly resort in the Dominican Republic and we loved it!! She is great about email responses in a timely manner and very knowledgeable about different destinations that meet our interests (rather that be family friendly or adults only). She is also currently helping me plan several other trips in the near future that we are looking forward to. I'd highly recommend her!

Alicia was super knowledgeable! When trying to find a place for our family (and three other families), she made the suggestion for us to go to Dreams Flora in the Dominican Republic. She planned our entire trip for us including our flight and the resort it went great. We met with her a couple weeks before to go over our itinerary where she made suggestions for when we were at the resort. When we had questions, she was quick to answer them. It was nice to be able to meet with someone in person but she did give us the option to have everything sent over email if we couldn't meet in person. I can't say enough good things about our experience with Alicia. Her suggestions were teriffic and she clearly knows a lot about her business. Our vacation was amazing and we will definitely be reaching out for help in planning our next trip!
