TRAVEL

The lifeblood of our business, with over 16 years of experience, Plans in Paradise cherishes you as a friend, travel partner, and fellow explorer.  You aren't just a reservation number, you will always be a VIP! Whether it be All-Inclusive, Disney Resorts or Cruises, Europe or anywhere in the world, let us get you where you wanna go!

Travel Planning

In my eyes and heart, travel is like a piece of art. Travel takes a vision, much thought and creativity, as well as execution. Using a travel agent is like having the perfect brush to paint the most perfect vacation picture. We allow you to sit back and relax and truly enjoy your travel planning experience as well as to fully soak in the whole experience of your vacation because you don’t have to deal with any of the headaches that could come. We are just as excited about your “art of travel” as you are so let’s get painting. Where to?
