About Me

A Dream within a dream!
A Dream within a dream!

 Travel isn’t an escape — it’s a return.To perspective. To connection. To the version of you that rarely gets uninterrupted space.That belief shapes every experience I design.As the co-founder of Go For Play Vacations, I specialize in curating intentional travel experiences for clients who want more than a well-planned trip — they want something that feels aligned, effortless, and worth the investment. My work spans luxury escapes, ocean and river cruises, romance travel, group journeys, and custom international itineraries designed with clarity and purpose.Over the years, I’ve moved beyond simply “booking travel” into a design-first approach — one that focuses on how a journey flows, how it feels while you’re in it, and what you carry with you after you return. Whether it’s a refined all-inclusive escape, a culturally immersive European itinerary, a milestone celebration, or a seamlessly coordinated group experience, every detail is structured to remove friction and elevate the experience.Through trusted global partnerships, industry expertise, and a deep understanding of what today’s traveler truly values, I guide my clients beyond overwhelming options into experiences that are clear, curated, and distinctly personal.Because the most meaningful journeys aren’t just about where you go — they’re about how you return.

A Relaxing Intimate Getaway
Reviewed By HappyMe58 - Castries | Traveled to Saint Lucia | St. Kitts and Nevis | Caribbean
We told Cedric that we wanted a laid back, relaxing, and small resort with a ocean front, beachfront walkout room. He found the perfect spot for me and my husband of 37 years . He always responded quickly to any questions I had or if there was something I needed clarification on he did a good of doing so. He immediately jumped on and resolved any issue that popped up. He is very detail oriented and prefers talking than texting. This was our 3rd trip planned by Cedric and we have two more planned for this year. We highly recommend using GoForPlay Vacations. Sandy B

Amazing honeymoon
Reviewed By M&M - Louisville, Ky | Traveled to Italy | Europe
My wife and I went to Italy for our honeymoon. We had such a great time! Working with Cedric was great. He helped us figure out something that we would both really enjoy and that worked with our budget and timeline. Everything went great and when we thought we would have an issue making a flight after a delay he was ready to help. It was are first time in Italy and Cedric planned out everything so the travel was super easy between the different cities and to and from home. Venice, Florence, and Rome were everything we imagined and more! We had a lot of great food and wine (of course)! We would definitely recommend Cedric to anyone who is wanting help planning their next trip. His planning and positivity reflected into our trip of a lifetime.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Spain & Beyond: Mediterranean Moments at Sea

Some trips are vacations. Others become a rhythm — of movement, flavor, culture, and connection that stays with you long after you return. That’s what this Mediterranean journey aboard the Norwegian Epic became. It wasn’t just about the destinations. It was about how effortlessly they unfolded — one morning, one port, one experienc...
