Niagara Falls June 2018
Reviewed By Lulu - Baltimore, MD | Traveled to Niagara Falls | Ontario | Canada
My husband and decided on a last minute road trip to Niagara Falls for our anniversary. We asked Laurie for and itinerary for a 4 day trip. She designed the perfect plan leaving Baltimore and stopping about halfway in upstate NY for the night. We got into Niagara Falls, Canadian side, early afternoon the next day where Laurie booked us a hotel with spectacular views of the falls from our room. We even saw the fireworks display that night. Laurie had secured us tickets for a few excursions while there an even planned our return so we had time to stop in Pennsylvania and to visit relatives. Her planning was right on. We got to see the falls and then some without feeling rushed. Definitely will call Laurie again and highly recommend her services.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Great Smoky Mountains
Reviewed By Jeannie - Annapolis, MD | Traveled to Tennessee | USA
Laurie organized a special family trip to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. She helped us choose the perfect cabin location—peaceful, scenic, and still close enough to hiking trails, towns, and attractions. We especially appreciated the recommendations for easy-to-moderate hikes, which allowed everyone in our group to enjoy the outdoors without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. She planned both outdoor adventure and downtime gave us structure but still left plenty of flexibility to explore at our own pace. We enjoyed breathtaking mountain views, waterfall hikes, and peaceful drives through the park, along with cozy evenings back at our cabin. This was a memorable getaway for us as this park has special meaning to our family. We would highly recommend both the destination and the Laurie's services for anyone looking to experience the Smoky Mountains without the stress of planning everything on their own.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

My Travel Stories

Sedona - Part 3

Off to Sedona about a 3-hour drive.  The landscape starts out wide and open leaving the Grand Canyon. Coming up on Flagstaff there is a shift—taller trees, cooler temperatures, and a mountain-town feel. Then, as you head south toward Sedona, everything transforms. The road starts winding, the earth changes color, the greens fade into deep reds a...

Grand Canyon - Part 2

We arrived in Grand Canyon late afternoon and checked into our hotel just outside the park in Tusayan.  We had a long day on the road so after a little exploration of the area we decided on a light dinner at a local restaurant.  We wanted to start the day early in Grand Canyon National Park and called it an early evening.  Day 3: Grand Canyon Na...
