Why Choose Us

Why use a Travel Agent?

Why would you have me book your travel when you can do it yourself online through millions of digital travel sites? Travel Agents save you time and stress and do NOT add cost to your travel!!

I am a passionate traveler myself, with a love for all kinds of destinations, from top shelf luxury cruises and resorts to rustic campgrounds and back woods cabins. I have been exploring the world for the past 20 years of my adult life. I want to help others get out and explore the world by making travel safe, simple and fun! We have spent a lot of the past 2 years at home and now we are weary of isolation and want to get out in the world again! Travel costs are higher than we are used to but we still need or want to go! I understand that and I want to help you do something special and make the most of every dollar you spend on your trip.

Do you want to snorkel with Sea Turtles? Dive the Great Barrier Reef? What about watching great Glaciers calving in the summer sun in remote Alaska? Visit the Galapagos and see those giant tortoise for yourself? Get married on a cruise ship or on a gorgeous Caribbean beach? Take the family for a fin-filled week of theme park or other fun? I can help you make these dreams come true! Planning a family road trip? I can book all your hotels and research restaurants, festivals or other special activities for you!

Will it cost me more to use a Travel Agent?

It should not cost you more to use a Travel Agent, and in fact, may even cost you less! The commissions are paid by the Airlines, Hotels etc, NOT by you, the traveler! The commissions are already built into every rate you find online. I am here to add value and save you money!

What Will You Get From Me?

When you click the button above that says “Let the Adventure Lady Do It For You!” and complete the attached form I will receive detailed notification of your travel needs. I will reach out to you for Budget information and then I will take the info and begin searching to meet your travel needs. I will gather information that will give you multiple options within your budget and then we will get together by web meeting or phone and talk through your final choices. Once you have made your final choices you will have 2 options:

 1) You will receive a MS Word document attached to an email that will have all the info you need if you want to elect to self-book. You would come back to this website and click the “DO it yourself” button above and then using the info I provide to you, you can make all your own bookings and enter your own payment information privately through secure internet connection.

2) You can provide me with all your credit card info and I will book all the agreed to reservations and then compile your payment status and booking confirmations etc. into one summary document that I will email to you. If you only paid deposits at initial booking, this document will include final payments and links and info to how you can make those final payments. I will also remind you by email and phone when your final payments are due.

3) No matter which payment/booking method you use, once your deposits/bookings are made, I will create a checklist of what you have left to do before your departure including any further payment info, any documentation requirements (passports, tourist visas etc), any Covid-19 protocols required for your trip (country/state specific), early or late check-in information, packing tips etc.

4) I will build a final itinerary with Contact information of all your points of contact from airport transfers, airline 800 numbers, rental car company, cruise line customer service, hotel or Air B&B host information etc.

If you travel with your smart phone or tablet you may choose not to print all of the above items but you might also consider printing in case you have network issues during travel. Items #3 and #4 described above, when used throughout your planning and travel, will provide you with all the information you need to enjoy a smooth trip. You will know suggested airport arrival times as well as scheduled plane departure and arrival times, airport transfer details (if requested), flight confirmation/E-ticket numbers for each traveler in your group, accommodation check-in status and confirmation numbers, day pass or excursion details, return travel details and appropriate travel tips.
