Amazing Honeymoon!
Reviewed By bkflackey - Minnesota | Traveled to Maui Island | Hawaii | USA
It was so nice connecting with Linda to help plan our honeymoon. We told her everything we were looking for and she went above and beyond to give us all our options and help us make the best decision possible. We decided to honeymoon in Maui at the beautiful Sheraton resort. Linda was absolutely lovely to work with. She always responded in a timely manner, was extremely thorough, and answered whatever questions we had along the way. She took care of planning our honeymoon so we could focus on planning our wedding! There were even a few questions we had while on our honeymoon and Linda was on top of it all! A few of our favorite things we did in Maui included snorkeling at Black Rock Bay where we got to see a few sea turtles, the sunrise at Haleakala, and our sunset dinner at Merriman's Kapalua. It was a pleasure to have Linda help us plan the best honeymoon ever. It was a nice feeling to know that she was just a phone call away if we ever needed anything. I highly recommend using her in the future to help with any travel needs. Thank you, Linda!!!
Linda Dorn responded
"Thank you so much for these wonderful words! Helping you plan your Maui honeymoon was an absolute pleasure. You were a dream to work with, and I’m so happy you could relax and focus on your wedding knowing all the travel details were covered.
Black Rock snorkeling, Haleakala sunrise, and dinner at Merriman’s—you truly picked the best highlights Maui has to offer! Thank you for trusting me with such a special milestone. Wishing you both a lifetime of joy and amazing travels ahead!"

Hawaii Trip.
Reviewed By Helen - Gulfport, Mississippi | Traveled to Hawaii | USA
I'm the mother of a disabled son. My last trip with him was a disaster. Linda made sure the trip was as easy as possible. She thought of many things I would not have thought as far as traveling disabled. My sons disability is a degenerative one, and this is probably his last trip. On his bucket List was an opportunity to see the Pearl Harbor Memorial, and the Grave of his great uncle who is buried at the Pacific Rim Memorial Cemetery since he died on Iwo Jima. Thank you, Linda, for making it as easy as possible. I can't say enough how awesome it was working with you.
Linda Dorn responded
"Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. Knowing what this trip meant to you and your son makes my work deeply personal and meaningful. It was a complete honor to help make this bucket-list wish come true to visit Pearl Harbor and honor his great-uncle at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. Thank you for placing your trust in me for such an important journey—working with you both was an absolute privilege, "

The best service from a travel agent we ever could have asked for.
Reviewed By Linda - Minneapolis Mn | Traveled to Oahu Island | Hawaii | USA
She was on top of our needs every step of the way. She checked with us daily. It was above and beyond expectations.
Linda Dorn responded
"Thank you for the kind and wonderful review! It was such a pleasure planning your Hawaii trip. Between keeping an eye on Hurricane Lowell and ensuring the getaway was fully accessible for a very special person in your party, my priority was handling the logistics so you could simply relax, focus on making memories, and enjoy the resort. I'm so happy it exceeded your expectations. Thank you!"

So helpful to have a guide!
Reviewed By Just getting started - Lakeville, MN | Traveled to Ireland | Europe
I have little experience with overseas travel, and always had someone else helping me with arrangements. Having Linda help with choosing the trip and taking care of the details was fabulous! Everything about the experience was positive for me.
Linda Dorn responded
"Thank you so much for the wonderful review! It was truly my absolute pleasure to help you plan your trip. Stepping into overseas travel can feel like a big leap, so I'm thrilled I could take the stress out of the details and make the entire experience so positive for you."
