Worry free planning. All I did is hop in the plane and enjoyed my pre planned trip. The whole itineraries were very well put together. Accommodations are super comfortable and beyond my expectations. Even the transportation from one destination to another was hassle free. Anne amazingly made my vacation a magical experience. I love it so much that I’m already planning for my next vacation💕💕💕

Notable Mentions

Pacific Northwest Adventure

July 14, 2025

Lauren Wyatt and I went on a Pacific Northwest Adventure. A big shout out to my travel agent Anne Valdez with This Mamma Travels and the Ksenia Ramsamooj and family. Without them our journey wouldn’t have gone as smoothly.

New Years Eve - New York

January 2, 2025

Shout out to my fabulous travel agent , Anne Valdez. She is the CEO and owner of the travel agency, “ This Mamma Travels”. She worked miracles on this spur of the moment trip in down town NY City during New Years. She found a nice, clean, double bed room in a hotel that served a hot breakfast which was located only 5 minutes walking time from Times square. In addition, she worked tirelessly to find us tickets to see the “Rockettes’ Christmas Spectacular” in which we picked up at “will call”. She is AMAZING at her career!   Thank you, Anne. JOB WELL DONE!!!!

Mediterranean Cruise w/ City Tours

July 26, 2024

A shout out to my wonderful travel agent named Anne Valdez with This Mamma Travels . In 24 hours she set up the med cruise, flights, hotels, taxis and a couple of prior/after off ship city tourism tours. The ship took us to many ports in which Lauren and I explored on our own. Anne was the backbone of our phenomenal trip. Always there for any prayers over our trip, wrinkles to iron out, and a confidant throughout.
