Tracey was amazing helping us plan our trip of a lifetime cruise to Alaska. We were traveling with my parents, my kids and my husband's parents - needless to say it was quite a diverse bunch. I was pretty stressed about the whole thing because my dad is in a wheelchair and has a liquid diet and I was worried about getting him on and off the ship and all the excursions and getting his food to Seattle. Tracey handled everything perfectly and she made the whole trip to Alaska feel so easy and smooth! We are beyond grateful!!

Over the top thoughtful planning!
Reviewed By Daniel A. - Austin, TX | Traveled to
The biggest trip Tracey put together for our family was a west coast drive. It was complicated because we wanted to see as much as possible with a different stop almost every day. It included airfare and car rental with an itinerary including The Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, San Fransisco, Disneyworld, and many more. The planning was flawless and included activities, locations, and amenities I would have never thought of. We were able to travel a huge area with total confidence because Tracey had it all perfectly arranged. She even anticipated when we would be tired and scheduled rest days in beautiful peaceful settings.

Reviewed By Courtney - Texas | Traveled to
We came to Tracey almost 5 years ago needing help planning out a destination wedding in Mexico. She had brochures on all kinds of different all inclusive resorts for us to look at along with their wedding packages. After picking a resort we spent close to a year communicating with the resort about our wedding and Tracey pretty much took the role on as a partial wedding planner and if she wasn't there to help us we probably wouldn't have had a destination wedding. She booked most of our guests as well and make it so easy for everyone. Anytime my husband and I or family or friends want to go on a trip we always contact Tracey because she knows exactly what she is doing and we trust her 100%.

Great Planning and Great Follow Through
Reviewed By LeeTXJD - | Traveled to
Tracey is always invaluable when we plan our vacations. She is an absolute life saver (or vacation saver) when the best plans go awry.
The best example is when our flight to Hawaii was canceled (yes, you read that right, the airline camceled the flight). We called Tracey and she had us placed on the next available flight (on another airline - she had to fight to get the first carrier to honor their obligations).
So, you get great up front planning and then someone who cares enough to help when you need it most.

She works tirelessly and quickly to dig into the questions we have thrown at her and to maybe come up with a different and better alternative. She went above the norm to help me out one time with reclaiming trip insurance when I was unable to go on a prepaid trip at the last minute.
