“I wanted to book a cruise for spring break and quickly got overwhelmed…was referred to Robin and was she ever a life and sanity saver! She patiently answered all my questions and eased all of my concerns quickly and professionally and our cruise was amazing! Robin is now our travel planning secret weapon and we will be using her again!”
“Was referred to Robin by a friend here in Upstate NY. Wasn’t sure how this would go, considering she is in North Carolina. That being said, things worked out well for our family vacation for six in the Dominican. Robin was always quick with answers to my many questions, and made a last minute adjustment to our return flight which wound up saving us money. I would recommend Robin to any and all that consider going on vacation.”
