She continued to help with navigating through weather problems that caused us to miss excursions. Shannon was instrumental in helping us secure refunds promptly and without hassle.

Reviewed By RSharpe - Bristow, VA | Traveled to Hawaii Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA

We have used Shannon to plan a number of our trips including a Panama Canal cruise for 2 and a family vacation in Hawaii for 7. In both cases, all of the arrangements, accommodations and travel plans came off without a hitch. She saw to every possible detail and made both vacations anxiety free. We would not hesitate to recommend her services. In fact, even now, she in in the process of planning an Alaskan cruise for our entire extended family.
