I am a Certified Travel Consultant and the owner of Ultimate Escapes Travel.I have been in the Travel and Tourism Industry for 30 years. Having lived in the Hawaiian Islands and through out Florida for many of these years. A former Cedar Rapids resident - I moved to the growing North Liberty, IA., community in 2000. My years of local travel planning in the area and valuable "Feet on the Ground" travel experience has been extensive! During the course of my career, I have taken numerous trips through out Alaska, The Hawaiian Islands, The Caribbean Islands, Europe, Canada, Mexico, The Mediterranean, the South Pacific and through out the United States. I've cruised on more than 80 cruises. This travel experience has exposed me to most of the beautiful itineraries and islands that are included with most voyages.A Honeymoon and Destination Wedding Specialist, I have established relationships with resort management and Wedding Coordinators throughout the world. These relationships are priceless when planning and coordinating your romantic wedding or honeymoon escape. When dealing with "legal" international weddings - it's imperative that you work with an experienced and knowledgeable specialist to avoid legal pitfalls and disappointments. Direct communication with resorts is imperative with regard to coordinating guests and obtaining applicable upgrades.With this in mind, it would be my distinct pleasure to assist you in planning a perfect vacation. You might say - YOUR "ULTIMATE ESCAPE!"Warm & Sunny Regards,Susan K. Stepanek, CTC
