Therese Gries
Caribbean, Hawaii & Sport Specialist
I’m passionate about travel and I enjoy creating those “once in a lifetime” memories for my clients. My own enthusiasm for travel has inspired me to pursue this as my career, and I love to incorporate those extra special touches into each itinerary I create. What sets a great travel agency apart is when the agents take the time to get to know their clients and build a relationship with them to provide not only exceptional service but also deliver the perfect vacation.
Being a warm weather destination specialist, I always look forward to helping clients narrow down the choice of the many tropical locations available. From the relaxing beat of reggae music that welcome you to the island of Jamaica, to the beautiful beaches, wonderful resorts, and amazing sunsets, I’m here to make it a memorable experience. No matter where you choose, we will ensure that you have a stress-free vacation!
Many of my own travel experiences are created around a sporting event - particularly marathons. I find that this is an exciting way to see new destinations and enjoy new experiences along the way. I love to help my clients schedule trips around special events, such as sports, concerts and more. In addition to the event itself, they get to enjoy the sights and sounds of a new city!
Every trip that you take will hold a special place in your heart and you will be filled with memories that you cherish for a lifetime. Allow me to help you discover the next best destination for you. Call me today!

All About Hawaii
ALOHA!!
Everything about this beautiful state of Hawaii is incredibly amazing! What makes it such a special travel destination is the fact that each of its islands are totally unique. A stop in Maui would not be complete without a Lahaina luau! From tropical waterfalls and sunset cruises to whale watching and helicopter rides or perhaps sink your toes into the black sand beaches of the Big Island of Hawaii. A visit to the USS Arizona and USS Missouri at Pearl Harbor is a must on many visitor’s bucket lists! Each visit to Hawaii is a unique experience. I’d love to assist you in experiencing everything the Hawaiian Islands have to offer.

Relaxing in the sun!
First time to Mexico, Great Experience.
We have 2 girls ages 19 and almost 18 at the time. We had to quick plan a trip that could very well be our last family vacation as our girl are now working full time for the summer and college in the fall.
She gave us lots of options but didn't overwhelm us with to much to think about. We decided to go to Barceló Maya Colonial Riviera Maya, Mexico. This was an all Inclusive resort . Great choice!
It was perfect for our family. Therese made the whole process very easy for us. She was very helpful with information about pass port's, transfer's to our resort, restaurant's and excursion's we might have been interested in. We couldn't have had such a great experience without all of her help. We will be forever grateful to her for making this such a wonderful family vacation with our girls.
Amazing countries visited
A Magical Werk in Disney
Best Vacation with the help of the best agent!
Good vacation!!
Not sure about a cruise
Loved the beach
Therese worked with our requests, budget and answered our questions without hesitation. Plus, her prompt response through email was very much appreciated. Therese was upfront with pricing, detailing every dollar. And the best part of the vacation was the beautiful, scenic, busy beachfront of Fort Lauderdale. We were pleased and we will be return customers!
Another Great Vacation!
Soaking up the sun in Mexico!
Really enjoyed our Trip.
Room was AMAZING!
I meant to tell you how great of a job Therese did before we left on our trip. I'm glad I waited. We just got back from a trip to Costa Rica, our room was unbelievable! We asked for an ocean view and we think our room was where they took pics for their brochures. When we first booked the trip, all the ocean view rooms were sold out. That didn't stop Therese from keeping an eye open and getting, probably the best room we have ever had. Thanks again for everything, we look forward to booking with you again next year.
Deam Vacation to Alaska
Therese was exceptional in assisting us with our dream vacation to Alaska! We received much information via mail and email. Once we decided when and where Therese kept us informed of details and took care of setting it all up. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! We definitely plan on using her services in the near future.
Pleasure to Work With
Therese planned two trips for me and I couldn’t be more pleased with her help. The first trip was to New York that I was taking my granddaughter on, and she found me great rates on the airfare and hotel. She also arranged tickets ahead of time for the 911 museum. The second trip was to New Orleans for myself and my husband, again good rates o flight and hotel. Unfortunately we had to cancel because of a family emergency, but with the trip insurance that we purchased we had a full refund. If I travel next year I will definitely contact Therese.
Family Vacations
Therese has planned many family vacations for us. And every vacation has been a success!!!! She is always very helpful and quick to respond to any of our questions or concerns. I would highly recommend Therese for any of your travel needs.
Pleasant to work with
I have worked with Therese in planning our adventures on two occasions and have been very pleased with her support, timeliness in response, and knowledge. As a matter of fact, so happy, that I called her just today to help plan a third trip. Therese is always very pleasant to work with and completes necessary research if she doesn't know the answers. She goes the extra step even when not required!
