I
have always loved the leisure travel business.
I completed my travel certification in 1995 and worked part time in the
travel trade. After my early retirement from Qwest in 2002, I joined the staff
at Cruise Holidays of Bellevue. After
working in the store for eight years, I made the transition to Cruise Holidays
franchise owner in February of 2010. As
a “virtual office” agency, I can manage my business from anywhere.
Garry
has retired from his previous line of work (project management) and has joined me,
full time, in our travel business. He is
supporting our agency in marketing and travel research. Garry is working to
become an “Accredited Cruise Counselor” – he should earn his credentials by
early spring. He will focus on cruises
and land-based vacation planning while I remain dedicated to cruise planning.
Our new location has not
impacted our ability to serve our customers in the Northwest (we kept our 425
telephone number). We are affiliated with Cruise Holidays and can continue to find
the great cruise values that you have learned to expect from Cruise Holidays.
Our
business focus is leisure travel – more than 80% of our bookings are for cruises. However, we are expanding our land vacation knowledge
without diluting our cruise expertise. We
look forward to booking your next vacation – on land or at sea. Our mission is to help make your travel
dreams come true.
All
in all, it has been a good year. We are
thankful for our health, our clients, our family, and friends. We hope all is well with you and yours and
that you have a blessed holiday season.
May the love and warmth of this wonderful season be with you and your
family. May God bless you in the New
Year!
