No Cooking No Cleaning Why I Love the Caribbean

Who doesn't love vacationing at the beach? Each summer my parents rent a beach house in North Carolina. It is a great way for all of us to come together, slow down and catch up with each other. My biggest complaint as a Mom, I still do the cooking and cleaning, just with a nicer view. Spending a family vacation at an all inclusive resort or cruise has an amazing view, plus the added bonus of Mom in total relax mode! There are so many options for resorts and cruises to fit every family's budget and wish list. Trying to weed through all of the choices can become frustrating really quickly. With multiple certifications earned for destinations throughout the Caribbean, I can fine tune your search and create an itinerary that will have you sipping that frozen drink under a palm tree with cool white sand between your toes.  

With so many white sand beaches and blue water coves you might need a little help finding the perfect tropical destination for your family. I understand that you may have never used a travel agent before.  Many people contact me to help plan their Caribbean Beach vacations because:

  • there is too much information out there to weed through, and you aren’t sure where to start
  • everyone around you is telling you where to look and what to do so you feel overwhelmed
  • there are so many resorts to choose from but you aren’t sure which one is best for your family
  • you want a real person who can answer your questions and quickly

If any of the above resonates with you, then using a travel agent to help plan your  vacation is a great way to make sure it is amazing!

Let me help you make the most out of your vacation. As planning a family vacation can seem like a large undertaking, let me do all the heavy lifting. I will sort out all the options for you using your family's preferences, needs, dreams and expectations. This will leave you time to enjoy a worry-free vacation making magical memories.

If this is something you are looking for then I would love to connect. Send me an email with the best phone number to contact you and we can set up a time to talk.  

My goal is for you to enjoy your time together without the stress of figuring out the next step.

2019 Cousins Crew Trip
Reviewed By cousins crew - Centreville, VA | Traveled to Ocho Rios ~ Jamaica ~ Caribbean
My experience has been nothing but top notch! Super professional and always goes the extra mile to make sure your family has a trip to remember! I have been a client for over 5 years if not longer. She has always found the perfect getaway both domestic and international! Amazing travel agent for all your travel desires...cruises, Disney, All-Inclusive Island getaways, you name it she can make it happen! :)

My most recent trip to Jamaica was planned last year. She assisted in providing varying room options (we ended up with an oceanfront suite). Patricia provided us with airport options and even suggest a VIP service which made the airport experience wonderful and uneventful. The Beaches Ocho Rios resort was amazing! Ultimately her efforts made this 2019 girls trip smooth from start to finish! I have and will continue to refer her to my family and friends. Best travel agent!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

A Vacation to Remember
Reviewed By Traveling in Style - Apollo Beach, FL | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
Patricia has planned several vacations for us. This most recent trip was a very special 30th anniversary land and sea cruise to Alaska. Patricia provided much insight into the various cruise lines, providing her opinion based on her knowledge and understanding of my personal likes and dislikes. I was torn between a recommendation from a friend who traveled there a few years ago and Patricia's recommendation of what she thought was more of what I was looking for. In the end we went with Patricia's recommendation and she nailed it. It was a spectacular trip. What I liked best about working with Patricia was her proactiveness and responsiveness.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Our Bucket List Vacation
Reviewed By Michelle - Gainesville, VA | Traveled to Florida ~ USA
Patricia was amazing from beginning to end!!! It felt overwhelming to rebook our trip after COVID cancelled it as there were so many moving parts to it between a week long Disney Cruise and a week at Disney World. But Patricia took it on with ease helping to ensure all details were covered, especially with new regulations in place due to COVID at that time. The vacation was flawless due to all of Patricia’s help and planning ahead of time as well as information and the packet she put together and gave me. I even made some dinner reservation changes while there and she continued to ensure while we were on our vacation that we were still getting her best and she got us in to everything…even restaurants at Disney that were showing no availability when I checked! This is our second big family trip we have planned and booked with Patricia and her help was top notch each time!! I would not dream of using anyone else!!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Efficient and Helpful
Reviewed By WhitFam - Chantilly, VA | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Flew multiple family members from multiple cities for a long weekend in Disney World in Orlando. Patricia helped with the airlines, hotel, transportation, and park tickets and made a complicated planning effort easy. Provided timely answers and was extra helpful with park information and tips. Would definitely use again.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Wonderful Trip
Reviewed By Iceland - Reykjavik | Traveled to Iceland ~ Europe
We had a great experience working with Patricia to plan our first trip to Iceland! She worked very closely with us to help pick tours and activities that were of interest to us. She kept in contact with us and always let us know of any issues or changes that needed to be addressed. She went over and above to ensure that we got the most bang for our buck! We absolutely recommend Patricia for planning your next trip!

    2nd Disney Vacation Planned by Patricia
    We just got back. This is the 2nd Disney trip Patricia helped us with. It’s not easy planning a trip like this with a family of 6, but we listened to her tips and suggestions and everyone had a great time. Highly recommend her services!
