Hi, my name is Kara Gardenhire, and I can’t wait to help you plan your next unforgettable getaway! I’m no stranger to travel. It’s not just my passion – it’s my inspiration, my escape, and a constant source of creativity.

Over the years, I’ve helped family and friends create magical memories on vacations that I’ve personally experienced. From the magic of Disney to the luxury of Sandals resorts, and the stunning beauty of Cabo – I know what it takes to make your vacation stress-free, exciting, and absolutely unforgettable.Whether you’re dreaming of a relaxing Caribbean all-inclusive where everything is taken care of, or a cruise that lets you explore multiple destinations in one trip, I’ll be by your side to plan it all. I believe travel isn’t just about visiting new places; it’s about creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Here’s why I’m passionate about these destinations:

Disney: I’ve been visiting the parks for years, and I absolutely love helping families create magical experiences at Disney! Whether it's your first visit or your hundredth, there’s always something new and exciting to experience.

Sandals Resorts: From the beautiful South Coast to the relaxed vibe of Negril, Sandals resorts are a favorite of mine for a reason. They offer the perfect combination of luxury, relaxation, and all-inclusive amenities that make it the ideal choice for couples looking for a romantic escape.

Cabo San Lucas: This stunning destination has been like a second home to me for the past 20 years. The breathtaking beaches, world-class dining, and amazing service make Cabo a place I always recommend to those looking to unwind and recharge.

Caribbean All-Inclusive: Whether you’re in Jamaica, the Bahamas, or another beautiful island, all-inclusive resorts offer everything you need in one spot – from unlimited gourmet dining to activities, entertainment, and pristine beaches.

Cruises: If you love the idea of exploring multiple destinations in one trip, a cruise might just be what you need. I’ve helped many families and friends plan their dream cruise vacations, offering them a seamless experience where they can enjoy new places while still having a home base to return to every night.

I understand that the details of planning a trip can sometimes feel overwhelming, but I’m here to make it simple and fun. Let’s figure out what your perfect vacation looks like, and I’ll take care of the rest. Travel should be something that brings you joy and peace of mind – and I’m here to help you make that happen.Let’s get started on your next adventure!

The trip was amazing!
Reviewed By KimA - Pennsylvania | Traveled to Maldives | Central Asia
Kara is the best. She was with us every step of the way. From helping to arrange the trip, communicating with the hotel, researching for us, checking in on us as we travelled… there is nothing she wasn’t willing to do to help us have the best experience possible. We have already asked her to find our next vacation, lol. Thank you so much Kara??
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Aruba 2026
Reviewed By Reeses Pieces - Albany, KY | Traveled to Aruba | Caribbean
As usual, Kara provided us a great, stress-free experience! We stayed at the Renaissance Adults only resort. There is a boat that comes every 15 minutes to take guest over to Flamingo Island which was WONDERFUL! We rented a Jeep and explored all of Aruba and agreed that we will definitely be going back! Thank you Kara!!

Trip of a lifetime
Reviewed By LeAnn Tolleson - Fayetteville, Arkansas | Traveled to Alaska | USA
We just returned from celebrating our 30th anniversary, and I can't say enough wonderful things about Kara! From the very beginning, she was attentive, knowledgeable, and always available to answer every question we had—no matter how big or small. She helped us choose the perfect cruise, selected wonderful hotels, and took care of every detail in between. Thanks to her planning, everything went smoothly, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy this special milestone together. Her professionalism, patience, and genuine care made our trip truly unforgettable. If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make your vacation stress-free and memorable, I highly recommend Kara. Thank you for helping make our 30th anniversary celebration the trip of a lifetime!

Best and most smooth trip of our lives
Reviewed By BJTJ - Memphis, TN | Traveled to Jamaica | Caribbean
We went to Sandals in Jamaica for our honeymoon and Kara was there every step of the way! She informed us of what the hotels were on the island and her experience going there with pros and cons of each which really made her input feel genuine. She even gave us tips for our excursions and questions while we were there. I cannot say enough good things about Kara and have already recommended her to multiple people. She truly cares about her clients and you can really tell. She was there for me and my wife every step of the way which was very appreciated. I highly recommend booking with Kara as you will get all the knowledge and an easy booking for whatever occasion. I cannot thank her enough!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
