I have been in the travel industry for over 20 years and have extensive knowledge in planning memorable vacations that fit your travel style. Every customer is different, and that's what makes being a professional travel planner fun and challenging every day.

My specialty lies in planning Honeymoons or romantic vacations, family and friends, group vacations.  Mainly in Italy, South Africa, Hawaiian Islands, Mexico, and the Caribbean (I used to live on Maui).  Cruises (and European River Cruises) are also very popular.  Italy is a destination I do a lot of luxury specialized custom vacations with private guides and drivers, making for unique and unforgettable trips of a lifetime.  Because of my rounded and extensive knowledge in the travel business, I certainly am not limited to these these destinations.

Whether you wish to book a travel package, cruise, tour, or perhaps an independent extensive European vacation, I can arrange any of these options for you.

Most travel packages, cruises, and tours I can book for you don’t come with any agency fees. Since independent vacations involve extensive itinerary planning and putting together all the details separately, I will charge a nominal planning fee for these types of trips.

Before starting my own company in 1996, my training included working in a corporate travel agency and their group department. My experience in planning corporate retreats, incentive group trips, and meetings enables me to work with all sizes of travel groups, from 2 people to 200 people or more.

So, if your travel involves a corporate incentive group, multi-generation families, etc., all things are possible. I can coordinate airfare for people flying in from different cities without any problems.

Please note that unless you have been referred/introduced to me by another client, I only work with new customers that are local in my area of Bastrop, Smithville, Cedar Creek, Elgin, Austin and surrounding areas.  When working with new clients for the first time, I have an upfront good faith deposit of $75 to $125, depending on the complexity of the trip. This allows me to start research and prepare price quotes once I have spoken to you and determined your specific travel needs. Because I am a professional,  full-time travel planner, I have found this to be the only way I can separate the sincere potential clients from people that are just price shoppers.  This ensures that my time is well spent, working on trips for sincere clients. The lack of focus would cheat real customers out of my best service.

The good faith deposit is applied towards the costs of your trip. If I absolutely cannot find what you are looking for, I will refund your deposit. But if I have done the work and put together your trip proposals and suggested hotels, etc., and you decide not to go, or to book it elsewhere (instead of giving me the opportunity to competitive match a price if you found it lower elsewhere), then the agency retains the good faith deposit as reimbursement for the time spent doing the research that helped you get to that point of making a decision.

I look forward to the opportunity to work with you today and, perhaps, for many years to come!

What my clients are saying...

...I have always been apprehensive about taking a cruise and told people that I had no interest in ever taking one. When we finally decided to take a family cruise for our daughter's 30th birthday I had no idea what to expect but Tracey took away all of the nervousness and made it all so easy!  Amy
