Thank you Sarah for the excellent service you provided us on our family trip to Honolulu and our stay at the Moana Surfrider Westin Hotel and Spa. ... Due to your efforts we enjoyed a free breakfast on their beautiful terrace each morning and an upgraded room with a spectacular view. We would have paid much more for those extras if we had done it ourselves. In total, you made the booking and the planning of the vacation so much easier as you clearly listened to our needs and made great suggestions. Thank you, Sarah.

Sarah is the best person to help you plan your dream vacation. She comes up with amazing suggestions and advice which have proven to make all the difference time and again. While at the same time she makes the whole headache of getting booked at the right place, for the right price, totally smooth. Since we started working with Sarah, we do not go to any other travel agents. Her friendly and enthusiastic manner is infectious.

Sarah is the best travel consultant we've used. She is extremely responsive to requests and questions, and given she is very well traveled herself, her recommendations come from personal experience. Through her connections, we most always receive perks and upgrades. Thank you Sarah!

Hi Sarah - I wanted to reach out and say thank you. Our trip was amazing. Hotel selection was spot on. I loved the Serbelloni and the Luna - but the Borgo Sant'Andrea was in a class of its own. What a joy to travel again. You're the best! Todd Gerstein, San Francisco
