Arizona!!
My grandparents moved to Arizona when I was in elementary school. When I turned 12, my mom let me fly to visit them in the summers for 2 weeks. Every summer I visited and I fell in love with it. From The Grand Canyon to Phoenix and everything in between. I took our daughters on a long weekend vacation over Easter in 2021. They too fell in love. In fact, our youngest daughter decided to go to Arizona State University in fall of 2022. While traveling in August to take her to school. We actually drove through what seemed like 3 seasons within the afternoon. From lush green mountains to the desert, Arizona has a little bit for everyone. This state will keep you busy with tours and excursions that you'll have to make multiple visits just to get a taste of it. Beautiful Sedona is breath taking. Lakes you didn't know about. Horse back riding, food, golf, the list goes on and on!
I travel to Arizona at least 5-6 times a year. I've seen Winter, Spring, and Summer there. Each trip is different but also still do our normal visits to places we love. If you are planning a visit, send me an email!

My Bucket List trip!!
Reviewed By Sara R - DeWitt IA | Traveled to Oahu Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
We decided to use an agent to help plan our trip because I was so overwhelmed at all the options and choices. Rachel listened to what we wanted in our trip, and what we didn’t. She sent us options to choose from, We had to adjust our timeline, asked her about different locations and excursions, and went back and forth on several things. Rachel didn’t miss a beat!! She asked more questions, made changes, sent us more options….and just kept working for us until we had the perfect trip. She was so helpful and she never made us feel like we were bothering her or asking too many questions. She made sure we had everything we needed, from travel apps to itineraries, the right paperwork and everything. We couldn’t have had a better experience and we are so happy that we had Rachel to guide us through it.

Rachel was amazing. She helped our family plan our Disney trip and is definitely an excellent 5 star agent. She was very knowledgeable, very prompt on answering messages/questions, gave us fantastic pointers about each park, was extremely easy to work with and so helpful, and was readily available. We highly recommend her for your travel plans.

A wonderful trip!
Reviewed By Dale and Shelley - Omaha, NE | Traveled to Key West ~ Florida ~ USA
We were extremely pleased with how Rachel took care of us in planning our trip. She was attentive to our requests, and very patient as we had to deal with a few variables and changes along the way. She provided us with several options, and gave detailed information on each allowing us to make an informed decision. She saved us so much time and effort, and frankly thought of and found options that we never would have found on our own. She was a joy to work with from start to finish, and made herself available throughout the process to answer our questions. I highly recommend her and her services, and will work with her again and again.

Bali here we come!
Reviewed By Beth & Terry - Marshalltown, IA | Traveled to Bali ~ Indonesia ~ East and Southeast Asia
After contacting 4 others agencies we found Rachel through her FB page and contacted her and asked if she could help us book flights to a resort in Bali Indonesia and she said, Yes! She answered all our questions and was clear on what we expected and wanted and she was always prompt in her replies and appt times. Rachel booked our flights and a hotel room and we felt she was very competent and conscientious . It was a pleasure doing business with her! We will take the trip later this year.

Client Testimonials
No Stress Vacation!
Rachel took the time to book our WDW tickets and dining to make sure everything was perfect. She listened to my wishes and followed through. Even when she couldn't get an impossible dining reservation, she found another choice that met my expectation. She's thorough and communicates almost instantly. Highly recommend her!
