It was a pleasure working with Traci in planning our England/Wales trip. She was able to help us arrange for transportation and lodging in some areas where it would have been difficult for us to create such a wonderful experience on our own. Traci provided many helpful suggestions and was also flexible in tailoring an itinerary to meet our travel interests. Her communication was clear and timely. Our trip was all we had hoped for and more because of Traci's research and planning.
