We were a little hesitant to use a travel agent for our big trip, having never used one. Carol was a delight to work with. She made sure we were at ease, and answered all our questions. Our trip turned out wonderful and the stress was minimal thanks to Carol putting together everything we needed.

Family time away
Our family trip to the capital was talked about for years, but never planned. I really needed help to plan and coordinate all 6 of us coming from different directions, to this one location.
I contacted Carol who was very pleasant to talk to. She made sure all the details were taken care of, and contacted me to make sure nothing was missed. I appreciated all her efforts and late night talks, in order to make everything flow smoothly.
We had such a great family vacation because of Carol's awesome help.
