    Travel Highlights

    With over 30 years of travel experience, my wanderlust began a young child. My great uncle gave me a souvenir from his travels to India…a Taj Mahal nightlight! The tales of his travels in the Merchant Marines and the magic of that nightlight has sent me to destinations unknown in my dreams. Shortly after high school, I started my career in travel.

    My most memorable trips have been to Walt Disney World Resort with my two daughters and grandchildren. I have a passion for family travel and enjoy helping families find the vacation experience of their dreams. Whether it’s for relaxation, adventure or family bonding. daughters and grandchildren, I strive to exceed expectations on each trip.

    “I really like to find out what my clients are expecting out of their vacation, and deliver that extra-special touch. You know you’ve done a fabulous job when you hear from those same families year after year.

    Their children remember me as the “cookies and milk travel agent” after a Hershey PA trip. Or they still talk about that special phone call to their hotel room from Mickey Mouse wishing them a Happy Birthday.”

    My highlights of other trips include skiing in the Austrian Alps, listening to a children’s concert at the Pantheon, swimming with sea lions in the Sea of Cortez, hiking and zip-lining in St. Lucia.

    During a recent cruise, I shared a luxury yachting experience with my brother on SeaDream Yacht Club who was a first-time traveler. I can only say that experiencing the personal touches and sublime service of the SeaDream luxury yachting lifestyle was fabulous. It was especially remarkable seeing it through the fresh eyes of my brother who had never traveled previously.

    My adventure to Peru with my colleague, Pat Franks, is also at the top of my list. “Adventures by Disney – not only met my expectations but exceeded them by leaps and bounds! Their experienced guides go above and beyond at every turn – whether it is with your luggage or giving you a hug at the top of Machu Picchu. Truly magical,” said Tracy Carr.

    My trip of a lifetime, however, was my recent East African Safari with Kensington Tours. My experience was over the top and everything that I could have ever imagined! The people of Kensington Tours make Kensington Tours. Everything from the staff to the driver and guides to the hospitality at the hotels. Plus – their flexibility to meet your needs sets Kensington Tours apart….” Read More

    Whether I’m planning a family trip or romantic getaway, I focus on each client to build a relationship and learn about your travel preferences.

    Multi-Gen South African Safari

    Big Five South African Safari This trip was the most exciting time I have ever had! I think that I can safely say that for all of us who took this adventurous journey together!  The accommodations were in the right order, too, the first was five-star and then we eased into more rustic lodgings, but all wonderful in their own right. I think this trip has given my family many memories to cherish and talk about the rest of their lives. I could go on and on. Thank you for all that you did to coordinate us from our different cities to come together and just make it happen. It was just wonderful, all of it. Many, many thanks!

    Covington Made Our Vacation Planning Much Easier!

    My wife and I used Covington Travel for our first real trip in four years (since we had kids). Because we were overwhelmed by all the resorts/promotions/locations online, our agent narrowed our choices and explained the pros & cons to us. She seemed to know the details of each location as if they had just returned from there. She answered our questions and did all our research for us. Overall, Covington made our experience so much easier. Thank you!!

    Iceland & Ireland Adventure 

    Iceland Adventures, Iceland Vacations We had an awesome time in both Iceland & Ireland! The Arnarhvoll Hotel (Reykajavik) and Gresham Hotel (Dublin) were both very nice. The tours were excellent and we learned a lot about both countries We enjoyed a local pub in Iceland with very friendly people in a happy, accepting atmosphere. While in Ireland, we heard an amazing street band and the nightlife was very worthwhile. We love the trips you help us create and always feel safe and secure that the trip will run smoothly!  Thank you so much…again!

    We Loved the Viceroy Zihuatanejo!

    Viceroy Zihuatanejo - Mexico VacationIt is a beautiful and meticulously maintained property. The resort is the perfect size with wonderful amenities, but most of all, the people made this our favorite trip so far! The staff went out of their way to make us feel at home. Incredibly accommodating and attentive, but in a relaxed and informal way. We loved all of the activities and the weather was beyond compare. Everyone in the family agreed it was the best trip ever – exceeding our expectations! Thank you for all of your help coordinating everything! The restaurants you selected (Coconuts and Espuma) were wonderful. The ATV trip and Surfing were huge hits, the spa was amazing, the boys enjoyed fishing and we chartered a boat to go snorkeling and enjoy the sunset, which was a perfect way to end the vacation! Still basking in the glow of this lovely experience! Thank you for your Christmas wishes and thoughtful gift! It was a pleasure planning this trip with your help!

    Adventurer Summit Kilimanjaro!

    Kilmanjaro Adventure, A & K Tours
    What a great experience! Yes, we summited – with the exceptional assistance of the entire Abercrombie & Kent team.
    The climb was actually quite easy until the last few hours, as we both experienced altitude sickness beginning about 1,000 feet below the summit. We were well-prepared for the physical demands, and the effects of altitude were truly unavoidable and just part of the challenge, experience and sense of accomplishment. The lodge was absolutely perfect in all respects, as were the guides and porters, camp facilities, food, etc. We are so pleased with how the trip worked out. Thank you for all your work in researching, planning and organizing the trip with A&K!

    Sandals La Source was Beyond our Expectations!

    Honeymoon, Sandals La Source Grenada Tracy was very helpful with planning our vacation. She helped me pick the location, booked it, and made sure we utilized all accommodations Sandals La Source had for honeymooners. I do not think I could have done it without her. Sandals La Source was beyond our expectations! Everything about this resort was magnificent including the food, service, view, and overall ambiance was perfect for a honeymoon. The resort provides multiple excursions to allow you to tour Grenada by land or by water.

    Fabulous Vacation in Barbados!

    Barbados - Fairmont Royal PavilionHi Tracy, “We had a fabulous time! The Fairmont resort was wonderful and the staff was beyond great! They could not do enough for us. The manager sent us a beautiful fruit basket and bottle of wine  -thank you very much! Everyone knew “the Martin girls” and we were treated like royalty. The tours were excellent – Harrison’s Cave was not to be missed for sure. Thank you so much for booking all of the tours- they were all wonderful. We are definitely fans of you and Covington Travel!”

    Tauck Classic Italy Tour

    The Tauck Classic Italy Tour was without a doubt an experience that our friend Dee Wingen, my wife Shelly and I will never forget.  We have enjoyed three Tauck tours all of which exceeded by far our expectations. While it is unfair to compare great tours, Tauck’s Classic Italy Tour was without a doubt a classic.  The accommodations, the food, the points of interest, the tour director and everything about the trip were outstanding.  If anyone would ask me if I would recommend this tour, my response would be, take it, don’t miss it.
