About Me

Caribbean • All-Inclusive • Dude Ranch Specialist

With more than 30 years of travel experience, I specialize in two distinct but equally unforgettable vacation styles: authentic Dude Ranch adventures across the American West and Caribbean getaways throughout Jamaica, the islands, and the Mexican Caribbean. I’ve visited Jamaica since the 1970s and have explored the Caribbean extensively, giving me firsthand insight into the region’s best beaches, resorts, and hidden gems. My expertise includes all-inclusive resorts, Sandals and Beaches vacations, Caribbean cruises, romantic escapes, and immersive Western ranch experiences for families, couples, and groups. Whether you’re dreaming of wide-open skies and horseback riding at a traditional ranch or a relaxing all-inclusive retreat on a Caribbean beach, I provide personalized guidance, insider recommendations, and seamless planning from start to finish.

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

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Where the West feels like home

Find Your freedom Out West

There’s a moment at every dude ranch when the West truly settles in around you. For me, it usually starts early in the morning, stepping out onto the porch with that first cup of coffee as the sun begins to rise. The air is cool, the sky is just starting to glow, and in the quiet you can hear everything — the soft nicker of horses waking in the ...

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!
