Stephanie Trott

With over 40 years of experience in the travel industry, I am a dedicated travel advisor with a passion for exploring new destinations. Since becoming a travel advisor in 1981 and receiving my certification in 1986, I have immersed myself in diverse travel experiences, particularly in Europe, Alaska, and river cruises and Dude Ranches. My extensive background includes training and development, mentoring aspiring travel advisors, and serving as a sales manager. I thrive on sharing my love for travel with others, helping them discover the beauty and adventure that await in every corner of the globe. Let me guide you on your next journey, ensuring it is as unforgettable as the places we visit together.

I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list!! That is my motto in life, how about you? I am absolutely in love with travel, and want to share my knowledge with my clients to create amazing vacation experiences for them.

I have been a luxury travel advisor for 14 years and enjoy curating tailored itineraries for my clients. I enjoy learning all I can about travel, doing trainings to keep up to date, and going to conferences and familiarization trips so that I can give my clients the travel experience they are dreaming of. I also travel extensively so I am very familiar with many destinations and the travel industry itself. I love finding unique things to do and places to stay!

I specialize in travel to Hawaii (my passion), Africa, Ireland, Alaska and all inclusive resorts. I also specialize in group travel, including hosted trips where I travel with my group. I've had groups go to Ireland, Iceland, Hawaii cruise, Africa, Italy and cruises. I have 5 grown children so I am very knowledgeable on planning group travels.

EVERY MILE IS A MEMORY!! LET'S GO!

Dana Deneweth

I have loved working in the travel industry since 2015, booking both business and leisure travel. I've booked trips all over the world, but my specialties are: Destination Weddings, All Inclusive Resorts, Honeymoons, multi generational family trips, Caribbean, Mexico, and Europe. My belief is that travel is and can be for everyone. It can be enlightening, relaxing, adventurous and/or cultural. No one travels the same and a Travel Professional can help you decide what travel style (or combination) fits you best!

Coordinating trips for others is a passion because I love to adventure myself. I've been to Ireland, Iceland, Cuba, Morocco, Greece, Mexico, most of the European Union, most of the Caribbean and am still exploring! My own travel usually centers around water activities and seeing animals, one of my favorite trips was swimming with the pigs in the Bahamas Outer Islands.

I'd love the opportunity to talk about where you'd like to go and how I can help get you there!

Tracie Milton

Travel has always been a huge part of my life—I’ve been on 27 cruises(yes, really!) and I never get tired of discovering new Caribbean Islands. Each one has its own vibe, and I love helping my clients find the one that’s just right for them. Whether you’re craving adventure, chill time, or something in between, I’m here to help you plan a trip that’s as easy as it is unforgettable.

My own travel bucket list? I’ve got my eye on the Maldives and Fiji—give me an overwater bungalow and I’m in heaven.

Outside of planning amazing vacations, I’m a proud mom of 17 year old twins (a boy and a girl), and I love sneaking in a round of golf when I can. Life’s busy, which is why I believe your vacation should be totally stress-free from the moment we start planning.

Samara McGhey

My love of travel began when I was in my early twenties. After college, I was able to travel the world as a dancer and choreographer on multiple cruise lines. Since getting married and having kids, I’ve realized that some of the best memories that we have are from our travels to places like the Caribbean, Hawaii, and Alaska. I also realize that as the kids get older and life gets busier, i long for these times away, whether it just be my husband and I, or for our entire family. These are opportunities to not just refresh, but to reenergize our relationships and to build lasting memories. Through travel, I want to help other couples and families rediscover, refresh, and reconnect.
