About Me

Let's start emptying your travel dreams bucket
Let's start emptying your travel dreams bucket

I specialize in custom vacation planning for travelers who want a stress-free, expertly planned trip — not cookie-cutter itineraries or hours of online research.

Backed by years of experience and a growing collection of five-star client reviews, I help couples, families, and small groups turn “We want to go somewhere” into a seamless travel experience from start to finish.

My expertise focuses on:

  • Europe travel planning
  • All-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean & Mexico
  • Cruises (ocean & river)
  • Carefully planned domestic getaways

I’m known for handling the details travelers don’t want to deal with — flight coordination, resort comparisons, itinerary design, transfers, and timing — while ensuring each trip fits my traveler’s budget, pace, and travel style.

I’ve personally traveled to many of the destinations I plan — including Mexico, Italy, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the UK, France, Portugal, the Caribbean, and Canada — and I continue to expand my firsthand knowledge through ongoing travel, training, and supplier relationships.

If you value clear communication, honest recommendations, and a vacation that feels easy from the moment you book, I’d love to help you plan your next trip.

Lovely Clients

Jill ~ This was the first time that I had used a travel agent and I’m so glad that I did. Dana planned an amazing trip through Italy for myself and my girls. She handled all of the details so that we could just relax and enjoy. I love that Dana is so well traveled and had personally been to all of the cities that she recommended. We can’t wait for our next adventure.

Alaskan Cruise
Reviewed By jblach - Kennesaw, GA | Traveled to Alaska | USA
Dana did a fabulous job of planning my last-minute cruise to Alaska. She handled all accommodations from airfare to hotel reservation to transportation to and from hotel and ship. She booked my excursions made changes to accommodate my last-minute requests and followed up every step of the way. She made sure my driver’s arrived on time and that I had a wonderful time. She even texted to make sure I was en route and made my flights. I will use Dana again and again as she is truly professional, and make sure my dreams come true.
Dana McKee responded
"Thank you so much for the kind words! ?? It was such a joy helping you pull together that last-minute Alaska cruise—nothing like turning a spur-of-the-moment idea into an incredible adventure. I’m thrilled everything went smoothly (and that the drivers cooperated ??). I can’t wait to help you plan your next getaway—wherever your dreams take you next!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

My Travel Stories

British Isles Cruise: London to Ireland & Northern

Before setting sail on a British Isles cruise, I spent three days in London — the perfect way to ease into the trip. From visiting the must-see sights to walking the neighborhoods and (very intentionally) eating my way through the city, the pre-cruise stay added depth and flexibility to the overall experience. From London, I traveled to S...

End of the Year in Aruba

Hey everyone! Just wanted to share with you all that we just got back from an amazing vacation in Aruba! It was exactly what we needed after the crazy year we've had, and we had been looking forward to it for 2 whole years! Can you believe it? I have to admit, I didn't take as many photos as I should have. I wanted to fully immerse myself...

Client Testimonials

First Time in Italy
Dana helped us book a trip to Italy in November 2022 and made the trip a seamless easy trip down to the last details including where to stay, transportation, and essentials to pack so it was worry free. She recommended ideas for excursions and booked everything we wanted to experience ahead of time so all we had to do was show up! It was my first trip to Europe but definitely not my last and I will use her every time I need to travel out of the country! She was AMAZING!!
Lesli, Dallas, TX
Honeymoon with a Birthday tossed in for fun!
This was our first time using a travel agent and boy did Dana kill it! She was there for us from the very start & literally planned it all for us! I never had to think once about planning our honeymoon. She was so reliable for all my silly questions and laid out all the details for us. All we had to do was show up at the airport & get our honeymoonin’ on. Dana even planned sweet surprises for us - like a cake waiting in our room on my birthday! I will be referring all my friends to Dana in the future!
Lexie N, Dallas, GA
Loyal Cruisers I was blessed to find
The personal care and concern that you have the best trip possible. You can count on Dana to do a great job making all your plans come together. She gives good options and lets you make the choices. We will always use her for all our travels!!

Covid Honeymoon Take Two in Greece
I would highly recommend Dana for all your travel needs! She planned (and replanned thanks to Covid) my amazing 10 day honeymoon to Greece. Our travels went perfectly, all the excursion and food recommendations were amazing, and our accommodations were out of this world! We hope to get the opportunity to do a trip like this again and there is no one other than Dana we will be calling!
