About Me

For more than 30 years, I’ve helped travelers experience the Caribbean the way it’s meant to be enjoyed—easy, relaxing, and tailored to the kind of vacation they truly want. I specialize in all-inclusive resorts, Caribbean island travel, and ocean cruising, and I use decades of firsthand experience to match every traveler with the perfect destination, resort, or ship. My clients come to me because they want more than a booking—they want guidance, insight, and a vacation designed around what matters most to them.

I’ve explored the Caribbean extensively, from the calm turquoise waters of Turks & Caicos to the dramatic Pitons of St. Lucia. I know which islands are best for couples, which resorts deliver the strongest value, which beaches stay quiet, and which cruise itineraries offer the most memorable experiences. I stay current on new openings, renovations, and ship launches so I can recommend options based on real knowledge, not guesswork.

Whether you’re planning a honeymoon, a family getaway, a milestone celebration, or a much-needed escape to the sun, I make the process simple. I compare options, handle the details, and curate a vacation that fits your style, pace, and budget. My goal is always the same: to create a trip that feels effortless from the moment you reach out until the moment you return home.

Alongside my Caribbean and cruise expertise, I also plan authentic dude ranch vacations—unique Western experiences for travelers who want to explore the American West in a more immersive way. I’ve personally visited many of the ranches I recommend, giving my clients insight and confidence that only firsthand experience can provide. It’s a distinctive specialty I offer for those seeking something beyond the beach, and it allows me to help travelers discover a completely different style of adventure.

If you want a Caribbean or cruise vacation designed with care, expertise, and decades of firsthand knowledge, I’m here to help you plan a trip you’ll remember long after the tan fades.

Whether it’s a beach escape, a cruise vacation, or an authentic ranch adventure, I’m committed to helping every traveler find the perfect fit.

Wonderful Planning
Reviewed By Erica & Bob - Harrisburg, PA | Traveled to Europe
It has been wonderful, with no effort from us and everything is going so smoothly. He has kept us informed and sent us via email all the information we need to be ready to go on our trip. He's never minded when my husband might stop by the office to inquire about something. All my husband and I have to do is sit and wait for the time for us to go. All paperwork, reservations, hotels are taken care of, with Barry and the tour company. We are so looking forward to our trip in May, 2017!!

Description of work:

We were new to the area and Richcreek Travel agency was recommended to us by a friend. We were looking for assistance in planning a trip. We've never been on a "tour" trip and had no idea where to even start. Barry has guided and helped us every step of the way, from recommending the tour company and navigating all the ins and outs of arranging everything. He especially helped us deal with an issue of our assigned airline flights. We were unhappy with what the tour compa

Family Vacation to Disney
Reviewed By Dawn - Harrisburg, PA | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
We have booked a Disney vacation with Barry on two separate occasions. Both times we had specific requests to accommodate our family, including our infant son and his two older siblings. Both times, we had a wonderful time and the booking process (and vacation) went smoothly!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

As someone who has traveled the world, we had been looking forward to visiting France for years.  My wife and I decided to do a river cruise on the Seine River that would take us all the way up to Normandy. It was the perfect way to see the beauty of the French countryside and experience the hi...

Beach Vacation
I just got back from the most amazing vacation, all thanks to Richcreek Vacation Center! Barry, hooked me up with the perfect resort on the perfect island, I've never felt so relaxed in my life. The sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and endless sunshine were exactly what I needed to unwind and recharge.

Childs First Cruise
Thank you so much. The trip is going amazing so far. I finally told her about the cruise this morning. She was both excited and also sad to the point of crying that we won’t get to stay in this hotel one more night, she likes it so much. It’s a great spot. I appreciate the recommendation and all your help!
