Here’s something close to our hearts – we’re supporting “A Taste For The Twig,” an event that helps children in foster care. Someone’s going to win an incredible vacation, and you could be that someone! You can bid online from September 10-12 or join us in person. Every bid helps kids who really need it.
We’re always cooking up something fun! Keep an eye out for more giveaways, special events, and exclusive travel opportunities. The best adventures often come with the best stories – and we love creating both.
Future brides, this one’s for you! We’ll be at the Entertainment Hall (4800 U.S. Highway 301 North) with our best honeymoon packages and destination wedding ideas. We’re giving away a honeymoon too – because everyone deserves a perfect start to married life!
Events like these are about more than just travel – they’re about bringing people together for causes we care about. Whether we’re supporting foster children through the Twig raffle or helping couples plan dream weddings at bridal shows, we love being part of our community’s special moments.
At every event, we donate carefully planned vacation experiences that showcase our expertise and passion for travel. These aren’t just random trips – they’re personally curated experiences designed with our 20+ years of knowledge to create the kind of memories that last a lifetime.
Retired Teachers
"Our company retreat in the Bahamas with 15 people should have been a nightmare to plan. Samantha somehow made everyone happy and stayed within budget. The activities she arranged actually got our team bonding instead of complaining. Our CEO wants her to plan next year's trip too."
HR Director
"I was nervous about my first solo trip to Costa Rica, but Samantha made me feel so confident. She gave me her personal cell number and checked in every few days. The hotel was perfect - safe, friendly staff, and other solo travelers to meet. I'm already planning my next adventure with her."
Marketing Manager
"After three terrible cruise experiences booked online, I almost gave up on cruising. Then a friend recommended Sam and Joe. They found me the perfect ship with adults-only areas and restaurants I actually wanted to eat at. It was like they read my mind."
Small Business Owner
"Planning a destination wedding felt overwhelming until we found Samantha. She handled everything from hotel blocks to transportation for elderly relatives. On our wedding day, everything went smoothly and our families had such a great time that half of them booked trips with her."

"Samantha planned our 25th anniversary trip to St. Lucia and it was absolutely perfect. She found us this amazing quiet resort that wasn't crowded at all. When our flight got delayed, she had already rebooked everything before we even called. That's the kind of service you just don't get anymore."
