Tacoma, WA

Cruise Enthusiast and Leisure Travel Advisor

As a foodie at heart I love finding the best local cuisines at a location to share with those who also enjoy a great bite to eat. I also love cruising to dabble in great locations that I will eventually come back to explore in depth and have been fortunate to cruise through Europe and the Mexican Riviera. I hope to help you find the best destination and experience to make your vacation unforgettable.

This was an Amazing Caribbean Resort Vacation
Ellie was very prompt and professional. She took my reservation criteria and came up with a great trip plan for our Christmas vacation to Jamaica. She seamlessly arranged for me and my mate to meet in Dallas and fly out of the country together. We were happy to have the personal escort through customs and transport at the ready. Great job Ellie!
