where i've been
"Our trip details were all handled by [Michelle] so we did not have to worry about missing something if we had booked the trip ourselves. Our agent also explained what to expect for each part of our trip from departure, to transfers, to our stay at the resort. She took all the worry out of the trip. Got a great deal on the resort that we may not otherwise have found. She also arranged to have all our rooms close to each other (3 couples)." B.E. 2015
"I could not be more pleased with the services Michelle Busse has provided us with. She has planned 3 vacations for us and her responsiveness, attention to detail and investment in our trips has been amazing. I contacted her approximately 2-3 weeks before we left for Hawaii on our most recent trip, as it was an impromptu last minute decision. She planned everything perfectly and all of our arrangements were wonderful. We had several connections, shuttles, etc and it was the most seamless trip ever, even given the late notice we provided Michelle. I will use her for every vacation we take in the future and have already provided her name and phone number to others, even though we do not reside in the St. Louis area. She is amazing!!!" R.Y. 2015
