Flowers Cove, NB

Specialist in 38 Caribbean Countries & Cruises

Besides being a destination specialist and cruise lines expert. My experiences give me a great advantage for helping you in your next destination vacation. I am also a proud University Graduate in Travel and Tourism. Cruising is one of the most peaceful experiences I know, just sitting on the balcony watching the ocean pass you by. Exploring amazing islands and then the ones that really catch your breathe....then I love to go back and book an all-inclusive vacation and explore ever more of the amazing islands in the Caribbean. One of my favorite family cruises was to Europe and Russia, absolutely breathtaking....seeing all the pictures does not do these places justice. You need to breathe and take in the rich historical culture that is just waiting for you in every corner. Estonia and St. Petersburg Russia are my favorite ports of call in Europe....and the beauty of Copenhagen. Don't forget beautiful Canada, we have amazing places to explore in our own backyard. Call me today.

Jamaica's motto is "One Love" well to me my relation with Jamaica is a little more unique.  If not for this beautiful island I would not exist!  Many many decades ago my Father from Canada and my Mother from United States were both on vacation and met at the famous Dunn's River Falls.   Needless to...

Customer Testimonials

Most Amazing Travel Agent

Sheila can best be described as the most amazing travel agent I have ever had the pleasure to work with. She was a guardian angel and treated us like VIP travellers from the moment we were interested in taking a trip to the moment we arrived home. On the day of our departure, the air traffic controllers walked off the job and we were left stranded at the airport. Sheila not only took care of my friend and I, but she also helped the other 5 people who had taken the same airport shuttle from the resort. Sheila is evidently very passionate about her work and it comes out in all of her interactions. She cares deeply about her clients and her actions show it time and time again. I will never consider looking for another travel agent again because I know I’ve found THE best one. She is truly special. Thank you for taking such good care of us Sheila! We felt safe and taken care of every step of the way.

A relaxing well needed family trip!
It was a pleasure working with Sheila as my travel agent. She was very helpful with ensuring all safety precautions were reviewed with me before my trip. She also walked me through any excursions I wanted to book before my trip and prepped me every step of the way until I left. Very supportive!

Best Travel Agent!
So happy to have found Sheila! We were a bit skeptical about selecting a travel agent online, but our experience working with Sheila has been exceptional. It is evident that Sheila truly cares about her clients and their travel experience. Sheila takes the time to discover what it is you are looking for from your travel experience, she offers suggestions and recommendations based on her past experience that are extremely valuable, and is virtually available throughout your trip for any questions, concerns or challenges you may face. Her involvement with you does not end once the trip is booked, it only partially ends after your return. She works throughout your trip to ensure you have a wonderful experience. I can definitely recommend Sheila as your travel agent, and we have already begun discussing our next trip. She is very quick to respond to your questions, whether via phone, email or text. Sheila is a hidden gem and we are lucky to have found her.

A Fairtyale Honeymoon
From the moment I reached out to Sheila to get help with our honeymoon, she was not only attentive and professional but also genuinely invested in making our trip unforgettable.

Sheila went above and beyond in every aspect of our trip to Greece. She took the time to truly understand our vision and tailored every detail to ensure it was perfect for us. From securing ideal flights to selecting accommodations that felt like a dream, she infused thoughtful touches throughout our journey. Her advice and the little perks she arranged—made our experience even more special. We felt like we were in a fairytale the entire time!

What impressed us a lot was Sheila checked in with us a few days before our departure and made sure to reach out again once we arrived in Greece, providing us with peace of mind and a personal touch that made us feel valued.

Sheila genuinely cares about her clients and takes pride in crafting memorable experiences. We are incredibly grateful to work with her!
