Exceptional Leisure Travel

I specialize in researching and organizing the very best travel experiences tailored to your specific needs. Whether it's cruises, all-inclusive resorts, escorted tours or independent travel, I will utilize my superior research skills to provide you with a great, personalized vacation.

After a career in data processing I'm well aware of how scary and overwhelming the internet can be. Yes, the information is all there, but do you really want to spend your valuable time digging out everything you need to know and relying on the opinions of people you've never met? Of course, it takes a lot more than just knowing how to use a computer and a search engine to find the perfect holiday. Wouldn't you rather work with a professional with personal experience at the destinations you desire?

I consider myself a problem solver. Vacation planning is no different than dealing with any other type of problem. There are always constraints: time, budget, distance, comfort level. And there are always solutions. I can maximize your travel value while working within your constraints. I am passionate about travel, not just my own but yours too. And I'm passionate about travel planning.

My focus is on you. Let me take the burden out of vacation arrangement so that you can enjoy all the joys and value of personalized travel.

Puerto Vallarta was a blast!
Barbara is very professional and answered all of our questions about our trup to Puerto Vallarta. She was very prompt in responding to email inquiries and even reached out after the trip to see how it was and if there were any concerns so that she could let the resort know. I highly recomend Barbara to help plan your next vacation.
