Linda Bisson / owner, consultantLinda has worked in the travel industry for 25 years - she began her career as an outside sales consultant with Destination Travel Co, and seven years later took over as owner and manager.
Linda especially loves to plan vacations for groups - the more unique the destination or itinerary, the better! Her two favorite aspects of working in the travel industry are the variety of travel plans a work day can bring, and the fantastic clients she has come to know and befriend over the years. Linda's favorite travel destination is Italy, particularly the Amalfi Coast and Tuscany. Besides travel, Linda loves to cook and spend time with her family. |

Ruth Ann really likes to help clients plan cruise vacations, all-inclusive resort getaways, destination weddings, and other sorts of active vacations. She also works with businesses to arrange incentive travel as a reward for their hardworking employees. Ruth Ann often jokes that her favorite destination is "her next one!" She looks forward to any vacation, no matter the duration or location; however, you are most likely to find her on a cruise ship or at an all-inclusive resort. Outside of travel planning, Ruth Ann's interests include yoga (she is an instructor), swimming, and other outdoor activities. She enjoys all of the fun attractions, events, and activities Northeast Ohio has to offer. |
