About Me

White night! Ocean Coral Turquesa Cancun
White night! Ocean Coral Turquesa Cancun

Are you ready to embark on an unforgettable journey?  With over 35 years of extensive travel experience, I am here to bring the adventure directly to you!  From romantic getaways to family vacations and group excursions, I have meticulously planned it all.  Whether it's lounging on a serene Caribbean beach, scaling majestic mountains, exploring Hawaii's volcanoes, or cruising through Alaska's fjords, my diverse planning experience ensures that your vacation is nothing short of spectacular. 

My mission is to tailor each vacation to your unique desires, infusing every trip with passion and purpose.  Having traveled as a couple, with our four children, and in larger groups, I truly understand the intricacies of making personalized vacations work for everyone involved - from toddlers & teens to colleagues, ensuring that each journey is exciting and unforgettable.  Imagine a romantic all-inclusive retreat for mom and dad, or a thrilling Disney Cruise for the whole family, or a Universal Parks adventure for your whole group!  Striking a balance between kids who want to plan their whole vacation around a favorite sports team while mom and dad crave some excitement of their own can be exhausting and frustrating but, I've got you covered!  From history buffs to hiking enthusiasts, from religious sites to relaxing beaches, I prioritize personalizing your vacation to create magical and memorable moments for everyone.  

At Magical Moments, we collaborate closely with our partners to offer the best rates available, providing you with great value.  Through continuous communication and training with our suppliers, I am confident in my ability to provide the most up-to-date options, policies and procedures for your travel plans.  My commitment for excellence in customer service means I care for you with honesty and integrity, delivering not just a memorable experience, but a magical adventure.  Why go through hours of scouring the options yourself or fighting to find the best rate when I can save you the headache?  With just one click or phone call, you can embark on your next customized adventure, confident in the unparalleled customer service and exceptional value I provide.  My goal is simple, to make your vacation dreams a reality.  Instead of making 20 calls today, make that one connection that will transform your next trip into a Magical Adventure!

Traveling with Purpose

What does it mean to Travel with Purpose?  For me, it means to not just visit a destination, but to learn from it and help preserve it for others to learn from as well.  Traveling with purpose means you are more than just passing through your destination, instead, it means becoming a part of it and it becoming a part of you.  In learning the local history and craft, cuisine and culture of each destination, we acknowledge, honor and respect the storied pasts from around the world and in turn can share these wonderful traditions and pass our knowledge onto others to cultivate a sense of togetherness and family.  Mark Twain wrote "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow mindedness, and many people need it sorely on these accounts".

Perfect Trip To Jamaica
Reviewed By taylors93 - Chicago, IL | Traveled to Jamaica | Caribbean
The experience working with Lori was superb. When booking the trip, there was some confusion, caused by a mistake on the part of the resort. This issue was completely taken care of and resolved by Lori, saving us the hassle and resultant stress we would have otherwise encountered. We had very few parameters for our trip, with a primary criteria being access to tennis courts. This specification was perfectly met, as the resort's tennis facilities were less than 100 steps from our room. Lori's communication was timely, comprehensive, and very clear. Her passion for both travel and the comfort of her clients is very evident. 10/10, would highly recommend to anyone considering planning a vacation.
LORI SMITH responded
"Dear Taylor & Danielle, I am so happy you had a great trip, it was delightful working with you!! I was so pleased I could get your room location so close to the tennis courts and that it made your trip that much more enjoyable! I am so grateful you chose me to help plan this Sandals vacation and I sincerely look forward to working with you again in the future!! Thanks again!! Lori"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Fantastic experience
Reviewed By retired&traveling - Tiffin, Ohio | Traveled to Punta Cana | Dominican Republic | Caribbean
My husband planned this trip with Lori as a surprise and it was fantastic! As soon as I was able to know where we were going (about 24 hours before we left), Lori included me in all of the communications and made things so smooth. I knew exactly what to expect at all times which made me feel at ease and her email messages were so enthusiastic; I can tell that she truly loves this area! While we were there, we were approached by the world of Hyatt folks to book further vacations directly but I could never get the same service without Lori so we declined- that is how good she is!
LORI SMITH responded
"Victoria & Mark, Thank you so much for your kind words!! I am so happy you had so much fun on your surprise trip!! It was such a pleasure to plan it for you! What a great way to start the year! Working with clients like you makes my job so much more enjoyable and I hope to work with you again in the future to make all your vacation plans special!! Thanks again!! Your friend, Lori"

Lori makes our trips effortless for us
Reviewed By KTSarka - Torch Lake | Traveled to Michigan | USA
Once we contact Lori about a trip we are considering she takes it from there. Within a couple hours of me contacting Lori about wanting to find a remote cabin in Upper Michigan she got back to me and had many great options to choose from. Once we picked the location she got busy and booked us the cabin, a wine tour and made dinner reservations at the best steak house the area had to offer and man was it wonderful. Lori made sure there was plenty of firewood at the cabin and checked on us a few times during our stay to see if we needed anything. We like to be spoiled when we travel and we get that from the first contact till the time we get home with Lori.
LORI SMITH responded
"Todd and Deb, Thank you so much for your kind review and for supporting my business! I am so happy your trip to Michigan was wonderful and relaxing and I can't wait to spoil you with more trips in the future!! Having great clients to work with makes this job even more enjoyable so Thank you!! Your Friend, Lori"

Girlfriends Getaway
Reviewed By KHohman - Tiffin, OH | Traveled to Punta Cana | Dominican Republic | Caribbean
Lori did a fantastic job selecting/recommending the resort that we stayed at for our 2025 Girls' Trip - beautiful resort, spacious, clean rooms, delicious food, peaceful beaches, warm sunshine, great service - this couldn't have been a better place to unwind, relax, and catch up with friends. Not only was the resort amazing, but getting there and was smooth, easy, and seamless. Lori had all of our documents ready for all of us so that we could all essentially be "passenger princesses." I know that I had an amazing time and would recommend Lori for any of your future vacations!
LORI SMITH responded
