Travel has always been food for my soul and mind. Travel has broadened every aspect of my life. As a child, my parents made sure that we traveled and experienced the world. My most fond childhood memories come from travel. I remember seeing robots painting pictures at the 1982 World’s Fair; being amazed by the Aztec pyramids in Mexico after reading about them in National Geographic; and I can still smell those fresh beignets at Café de Monde in New Orleans. As an adult, travel continues to be an important aspect of my life. My husband and I love to travel, especially with our boys, family and friends. One of the greatest joys in my life is sharing my love of travel with others. Being a travel advisor with Destination Fun Travel allows me the privilege of sharing my passion for travel with others and assisting them with all their travel needs.
Destination Fun Travel takes great care in assisting clients to plan their best vacation. I will work extensively with you to learn what you want and need and want with your next vacation to find the best destination, property and experiences for you!
Travel creates lifelong memories. I look forward to working with you to find that next amazing vacation experience!
Flights get canceled; it’s an inherent part of travel. Sometimes it’s just one flight due to a labor shortage, other times it’s hundreds of flights after a computer malfunction. When it happens to you, what should you do first?
If we booked your flight, then our first call should be to us. We’ll handle not only rebooking your flight, but we can also notify any airport transportation services and hotels we might have booked for you at your final destination. We can also get you into a nearby hotel if you need to stay overnight.
If you booked the flight on your own, it’s wise to act fast when your flight is canceled. If you’re at the airport, find the airline’s service desk and join the queue that’s surely gathering there. While in line, quickly find and review the airline’s cancellation policy to make sure you know what you’re entitled to. The Department of Transportation requires airlines to provide a full refund in many cases.
While you wait, you can also contact an airline representative via phone or social media to rebook your flight quickly. Pro tip: most people will call the airline’s U.S.-based number, so find an international number for your airline in Canada, Mexico or England to possibly reach an agent sooner. They’re all working with the same reservation system, so international agents can assist you just as well as the agents at the desk.
If the line is too long, look for a self-service kiosk to scan your boarding pass. Many kiosks have the functionality to switch your flight then and there. The quicker you handle this problem, the faster you can secure new seats and keep your vacation on track.

Looking for a tropical destination. Our top 3 destinations for each year are Cancun, Dominican Republic and Puerto Vallarta. Learn more about our top resort picks in each of these destinations!
Cancun and the sun-drenched Riviera Maya lie at the heart of the Yucatán Peninsula in sunny, southeast Mexico.
Cancun’s stunning coral sand beaches, luxury vacation spots and crystal-blue seas, combined with the natural wonders and impressive Mayan ruins of the Riviera Maya, make this an ideal vacation spot for those in search of sunshine, water sports, history, and fun.
Located just two hours south of Miami, the Dominican Republic feels worlds away. Surrounded by translucent turquoise seas and covered with lush mountains and rainforests, this second-largest Caribbean country offers almost 1,000 miles of tropical coastline.
Nestled amid Mexico’s sun-blessed west coast, beautiful Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit, its tropical neighbor to the north, offer slices of paradise just waiting to be explored.
These two destinations are connected by a bridge across the Río Ameca, which forms a natural distinction between the Mexican states of Jalisco and Nayarit.
Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit share a common bond of sunny shores, picturesque ports, and unforgettable sunsets.
