My Travel Specialties

All-Inclusive Resorts

All-inclusive resorts are truly for the whole family. The kids go down the slide so many times that grandma goes down the slide with them! It's just plain fun with something for everyone. With plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from, it's easy to fuel up and go back to the beach or resort pools....

My Reviews

Planes, trains, no automobiles
One thing I know about our trip is, we couldn't have done it without Kate! While I love being different places, I hate the process of travel-airports, airplanes, train stations, etc... Kate handled all of that for us right down to choosing our seats on the train. And when the airline cancelled our flights (both ways!) Kate went to work for us insuring our travel in Europe was as easy as she could make it from thousands of miles away.
We started in Paris for 5 days where we stayed at the beautiful Hotel Baume in the 6th, then off by train to Angoulême in southwest France for the Festival Angoulême for 4 days, then back to Paris to catch the Eurostar for Amsterdam, where we stayed 4 days at the elegant Canal House Hotel. The hotels were beautifully located with great rooms and exceptional service. Thank you, Kate Chianese at Going PlacesTravel, like I said, we couldn't have done it without you!

Wonderful experience in Japan!
Kate did a perfect job of helping me maximize my experiences for the relatively brief period of time that I had to work with. The arrangements that she made for me were absolutely great.
