Family Vacation
My wife and I hired Cassie to arrange a trip to Key West for ourselves and our adult children. She Knows Key West! We loved the Resorts she suggested and helped us choose the best one for our needs. She knew the best venues for each type of dining experiences and for the best entertainment. Key West fit all our needs and desires; Cass even arranged for a game of golf with my son in-laws. And there was plenty of snorkeling and beach time for the kids. Cassie Did an outstanding job quickly planning this trip and she went above and beyond to follow up and make our vacation feel special. We were greeted with a nice Welcome note and bottle of wine upon arrival. I would definitely recommend Cassie to All.

BEST TRIP EVER!!!
We hired Cassie for our trip to Ocho Rios Jamaica. She was fantastic! We stayed at a Sandals All Inclusive resort. The Resort was gorgeous and there were so many activities included we never wanted to leave. She knew the best off-site places to visit and helped us organize those outings. We have fallen In Love with the Caribbean, and we will definitely hire Cassie again for our next Island vacation.

Cabo Bachelor Party
Cassie, did an outstanding job helping me plan my buddy's bachelor party in Cabo San Lucas. She made sure that every aspect of our trip was taken care of, from booking us at an all-inclusive resort to organizing an offshore fishing trip. The all-inclusive resort she recommended was perfect for our group, providing top-notch concierge services. We felt like VIPs throughout our stay.

The highlight of the bachelor party was undoubtedly the day of offshore fishing that Cass arranged for us. The experience was incredible, with expert guides, top-of-the-line equipment, and the opportunity to catch some impressive fish.

Cassie took the time to understand what we were looking for in a bachelor party and tailored the itinerary to exceed our expectations. I highly recommend Cass as a travel agent for anyone planning a bachelor party or any other type of trip to Cabo San Lucas. We are grateful for her efforts in making the bachelor party an unforgettable event.
