Melbourne

Australia's cultural and commercial hub, chic, and elegant Melbourne sports sweeping, tree-lined boulevards. The city's Royal Botanic Gardens are a wonderland of lakes and blooming trees, and in the city's zoo, animals roam freely in natural settings. Victorian architecture, outdoor cafes and an upper-crust outlook make this riverside city a magical urban center.

WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE

Whether you want to go on a cruise, a trip to Ireland or Europe, or want to stay close to home and go to Eureka Springs or Branson, we have some great deals for you. Can you believe that you can go to Eureka Springs for 3 days/2 nts including hotel, passion play, and 1 show for a little over $100 per person? You can and you don't need to have a group. Whether you have 2 people or 100, the price is the same. Call us today for more details.

That is why you need a travel consultant to help you plan your trip. We know where you can get the best deals. We know which ships are good for which clients and events. We know where you can get the most bang for your buck.

You call a travel consultant because we can give you information that you can't get from an online booking engine like where the oil spill is,, where the hurricanes are headed and which island or countries are the go to place this year.

Call me today at 662-560-6085 or 662-288-9052 for help planning your next vacation.

If you are traveling outside the United States, you will need to get a passport. You can do that at your local post office or click on the link below that we have provided. The prices are going up after July, so get yours today. No matter where you go on your trip, a passport is your best form of identification.

DO NOT "EVER" TRAVEL WITHOUT TRAVEL INSURANCE!!!!!!

The last thing is travel insurance. Check with your health care providor and be sure that your health insurance covers you outside the continental USA and in a foreign country. If they say that they do, get a copy of that page in your policy faxed to you because 99.99% will no. If it doesn't, do not leave on your trip without Vacation Protection Insurance. Contact me at 662-288-9052, and I will book some for you and email you the poliicy. We are a licensed seller of travel insurance. You just cannot take the chance of not having coverage if you are on a trip and you aren't covered. If you have an accident in a foreign country, they will not treat you without insurance. This is a very important thing to have.

We are your security blanket in times of need.

Call today. I look forward to hearing from you soon at 662-288-9052.
