Rose got into industry after arranging her mother's wedding in Venice for 20 people. She had such a great time she decided to arrange travel for a living. After more than 15 years in the industry and extensive travels, especially in Europe, Italy remains her favorite destination. Rose's dream vacation would include a trip to the Southeast Asia staying in luxury hotels in Thailand, India and Sri Lanka. Rose enjoys putting together the very best, hassle-free, no worry vacation for her clients.

Melinda, the agency owner, has been in the travel business since 1988 and loves it! Travel is fun, clients are interesting and travel sells itself! Her favorite hobby? Travel of course! She has traveled by cruise to the Western, Eastern and Southern Caribbean, Europe, Alaska and Russia. She has tried every form of travel in Europe from a barge cruise in France, to driving the Autobahns in Germany, rails in Amsterdam, escorted tour through France, and independent England.

Ellyn started in the travel industry because she thought it would be fun to send people to all kinds of interesting places -- that was 20 years ago. Ellyn enjoys working with families to book trips across a broad spectrum – from Disney to Europe.  Ellyn infuses her work with clients with personal attention; she wants each client to feel that they are her only client. Ellyn’s dream vacation would be an Independent tour of Europe that included stays at all of the superior deluxe hotels throughout Europe.  Examples would be Daneli in Venice, Villa d'Este on Lake Como in Italy, George V in Paris and Connaught in London.

Jane has been in travel since she was 23 years old. A friend of hers worked at Air France and talked her into the travel industry. Jane had studied to be in the Foreign Service, but they wanted to send her to the Cameroonsl If you know Jane, you know she is more of the luxury travel type, not the Cameroons of 20+ years ago. Her favorite vacation choices are great Spas anywhere in the world and maybe a Mediterranean cruise on a small ship. Jane's experience in the industry qualifies her to help you on any travel plans you are considering.

Marionhas enjoyed working in the travel industry since 1989 as a outside sales representative specializing in cruises, tours, and Disney.  She knows from personal experience that there are so many beautiful places to explore in this country and abroad and wants everyone to be able to experience the joy of travel.  She strives to help her clients plan vacations that will provide many years of wonderful memories.    

Yvonne is planning to marry in October of 2007 and has stood in 3 weddings during 2006, thus she is our honeymoon and destination weddings specialist. Yvonne helps her clients dreams come true from cruising and all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean to island hopping Hawaii. She also can make this happen for the bride's 20 closest friends with newly popular in the wedding market: Destination Weddings. A traveler herself, Yvonne has traveled to the Eastern and Western Caribbean, Jamaica, Alaska, Germany, France, Cancun, England, Disney, New York , and California and of course the sunny beaches of Florida.

Laura has an extensive background in corporate travel, and likes to build relationships with her clients so she can anticipate their needs. Laura’s attention to detail has served her clients well. Laura’s dream vacation would be to Italy to see where her ancestors came from (Contessa Entilena) and also Palermo where her husband’s family is from. Laura envisions this trip to Italy as a family reunion with lots of her family members joining her in Italy.

Nicole has been with Travel Central for 10 years and we wonder how we ever got along without her. Nicole keeps all of the Travel Central agents moving in the same direction, she even manages to corral Melinda's energy when necessary - no small feat. Nicole was interested in travel because she wanted to broaden her horizons. Nicole's dream vacation would be to Europe! She thinks Europe would provide an adventure for her family because it is more of the unknown.
