Profile

I've always loved traveling to the islands of the Caribbean, and after being downsized, and re-organized from Corporate America several times, I decided to start my own business. Starting a travel business was an easy fit, and I also love the Internet, so it was logical step to merge to two together. In choosing a domain name, Travel 2 the Caribbean was the perfect business and personal choice.

As a travel consultant, I specialize in what I know best - Caribbean Travel. I've been doing business online for eight years, and throughly enjoy my job. My husband and I have traveled throughout the Caribbean, and know the islands and culture extremely well.

Prior to September 11, our travel business was a full service agency. Due to the downturn in the travel industry, and several of our supplier going out of business, we made a decision to also offer online booking to become more competitive.

This has been a cost saving measure since 70% of travelers now book online, and this has definitely worked to our advantage. Business is going well, and our visitors and travel clients state they are pleased with our travel product offering.

We still offer travel agent services to those clients who do not wish to book their own vacations. Even if you book your own vacation in our secure online database, we will still be available to answer your questions, and provide island information.
