"Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did." - Mark Anthony Twain


Hi, I'm Kelly, with 23 years deeply rooted in the travel and hospitality industry, including the last six years as co-owning and lead agent of Aqua Breeze Vacations. 


Travel, to me, is more than a journey; it's an emotion. Those sunsets shared with loved ones, the diverse cultures embraced, and the memories we create and retell over time. Each expedition introduced me to new horizons and fostered a deeper self-understanding.


My explorations span the sandy beaches of the Bahamas and the Caribbean's all-inclusive resorts to the decks of 25 different cruise ships where I explored many of the ports in Alaska, Europe, the Caribbean, and the Bahamas.


Every trip, every cruise, and every place I've been have added to my collection of stories and knowledge. Destinations like Alaska, St. Lucia, St Thomas, Grand Turk, and CocoCay aren't just pins on a map for me; they are chapters of my life.


My title as a Master Cruise Counsellor with the Cruise Line International Association isn't just an accolade but a testament to my dedication to being current and knowledgeable. It symbolizes the rigorous training I've undergone, the relationships I've built with industry managers, and the trust they bestow upon me with the latest cruise line inside news and offers. And our agency's A+ BBB rating is a testament to exceeding our client's expectations.


Are you a family yearning for a memorable adventure, a cruising newby, an elated honeymooner, or an enthusiastic traveler eyeing European rivers or Caribbean hideaways? Look no further. My strength lies in aligning you with experiences that mirror your desires.


Contact me, and let's chart out your next travel chapter. And, a gentle reminder – I don't charge for my services. I can help you make your next journey effortless and unforgettable.

Family Vacation for 25- And None of the Stress!
We had been talking about a 25 person family vacation for quite some time. When it came time to finally plan the vacation I contacted Kelly to see what she could find. Not only did she listen to everything that we were looking for and find us several options to choose from, she gave advice and made suggestions on things we hadn’t even thought of. Kelly was exceptionally helpful with everyone from the people that needed a lot of help and handholding to those that wanted to do some things on their own and some with the rest of the group in the agency. Cali truly customized everyone’s trip and gave every single person that went an experience that was absolutely more than they had ever imagined. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves because we knew everything was taken care of. We plan to use Kelly quite a bit more going forward, and anytime we are planning something like this she will definitely be our first call!

Averted Catastrophe
“Kelly was absolutely amazing in helping us with our horrible airline experience. She went above and beyond when it came to planning our trip. My husband and I would highly recommend her for anyone's travel needs. The cruise was the best part of course. But she helped us with so much more. From getting the hotel for the night before. Where she definitely went above and beyond is our flight got canceled and they were trying to put us on another flight for the next day. We would have missed our cruise. She got us a different flight to another airport that was also close by. Absolutely amazing job at making our first cruise with some hiccups because of the flight go amazingly well. She's the best hands down.”
