Testimonials
At an elephant rescue sanctuary (Ngapali, Myanmar)
Mimi is a fantastic travel agent. I was going to book our 10 year Anniversary trip myself (I travel a lot for work) but she made it so much easier and got us GREAT deals! Not only did she make our trip to Sandals in Jamaica easy, she got us super discounts, booked the most amazing place, & gave us great advice on various options. The best was she told us we should spend an extra $30 for the Airport club for our return to DC. For the $30 we were able to get in a special and very short line through security, lounged in a very large and air condition club w/free food and drinks w/football on TV for the 2.5 hr wait for our flight. She made our 10 yr anniversary trip better than we could have imagined! Thanks Mimi!! - Dave, Alexandria, VA

A fantastic trip and I hardly had to do a thing

Tokyo, Sapporo, Naha and Kyoto
Mimi worked hard to find the best travel fares for our complex, four-city, two-week trip to Japan in July 2019. But her concern didn't stop there. During the trip, a typhoon (seriously!) threatened our plans to travel to Okinawa for some snorkeling. We were pretty much unaware of the weather as we were in northern Japan with limited access to English language news. By the time Mimi reached us, she had already contacted the airlines and negotiated a refund if needed. Luckily, it wasn't. I truly appreciated the fact that she was looking out for us throughout our trip. It says a lot about Mimi both personally and professionally.

I'm so happy that the trip went well, and the typhoon was a non-issue. I hope you were still able to go snorkeling with your son in Naha.

She took care of everything!
Mimi is an excellent travel agent! She made the arrangements for our honeymoon with wonderful ideas for places to stay that were away from the more touristy spots in Barcelona. We wanted a place that allowed us to explore the culture of the area and could not have been happier with the experience. Mimi is personable, and professional and takes the extra steps to confirm that all arrangements fit your plans. It was wonderful to know we could just relax and enjoy our trip knowing that Mimi had taken care of everything! My husband and I highly recommend her for any travel needs.
