Pre-Planning conversations
I want to get to know you! Your travel needs, desires, "bucket list"...I bet we have a lot in common! Asking questions about your goals, travel history and budget will help me to build your perfect trip. I will research a number of travel options that interest you; like cruises, train trips, All inclusive resort vacations, hotels, excursions, airfare, etc. Ask as many questions as you need to. I will answer them to the best of my ability!
RESEARCH & PLANNING FEE
A RESEARCH & PLANNING FEE** WILL BE ASKED FOR AFTER THE INITIAL CONSULTATION.
The Planning Fee is non refundable:
$50 for trips up to 4 people
(Children under 17 are excluded from all fees)
FOR GROUPS OF 5 OR MORE PEOPLE the rate changes to $25 per person,starting with 5th person.
EXAMPLE- 5 pp. = $75, 6 pp. = $100, 7 pp. = $125, etc.
(GROUPS- we understand it can be hard to know how many people will be traveling... After the trip is established with at least 4 people, if others join, they can pay their $25 FEE at time of booking.)
**This research and planning fee is excluded from groups that are hosted by Happy Wanderlust Travels.
I will email or text you a link or QRcode to submit payment. (CASH APP., ZELLE OR PAYPAL.)
ONCE THIS FEE IS PAID THE WORK WILL BEGIN WITH CUSTOMIZED QUOTES FOR YOUR TRIP!

3 Educational Events since becoming an Advisor-

In the last 2 years (Yes, during Covid!) I have had the priviledge to go on 7 FAM trips for Travel Advisors where we toured 64 resorts! The value of seeing these resorts helps me pick the perfect resorts for my clients!
Part of what brought me to becoming a travel advisor was our thirst for new places and things to experience!
Our WANDERLUST has taken us to Italy, Spain, Portugal, Mexico, The US Virgin Islands, The Bahamas, Bermuda, Costa Rica, Canada, and Jamaica. We have cruised to the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii, Bermuda and New England, taken train trips in Italy and the United States!
When our son, Reed was growing up we made sure to take him traveling! Even on a small budget we managed to take him to New York City, New Orleans (and then on a short cruise from there to Mexico), all over California twice (my favorite state), Massachusetts twice, Florida (last road trip with my parents in their RV), and of course lots of camping!
In 2021, I had the honor of planning Reed and his bride Courtney's honeymoon!
We would take summer long RV trips (My father, Karl owned a trailer manufacturing company- Metzendorf Trailers during the 1960's & 1970's...he even built his own RV!) ...to Pennsylvania, NJ, Florida, Texas, Colorado, and the most GRAND ADVENTURE was the summer of 1978 when we went to Alaska to visit family! We stopped at Yellowstone National Park, Devil's Tower, Mount Rushmore, crossed into Canada and travelled the Alcan highway. I was amazed when we boarded an overnight ferry to Alaska. This trip was a pretty cool thing for a kid to get to do! Thank you Mom and Dad.
Did you know WANDERLUST IS A GERMAN WORD? By definition this IS my family history. My Grandfather Emil Gerlt worked for a few years as an assistant steward on The SS Republic in the mid 1920's. The SS Republic was a German Ocean liner seized by the US government during WW1. The United States Line was created to operate the North Atlantic passenger service from NYC to Europe in 1917. (It was also used as a troop carrier during WW2).
This is how Emil was able to immigrate his family, including my father Karl in 1928 frrom *Bremen, Germany!
*Bremen, Germany- a port city known for its role in Maritime trade, since the 13th century!
"We booked our Honeymoon (Aug 2021) through Happy Wanderlust Travels to Key West Florida. Our trip was smooth sailing, we didn't have to do anything but show up! Everything was arranged for us, we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation with no worries! Highly recommend and will be booking with her again!" -Reed & Courtney Gerlt-Ehas
"We booked a Royal Caribbean cruise (July 2021) with Lisamarie at Happy Wanderlust Travels. She was very helpful with recommendations of things to do at different ports. She answered all my questions and concerns. We had an enjoyable and relaxing vacation! And when we got back we booked another one with her!" -Kim Gerhardt
Lisamarie planned our best, craziest vacation ever! I gave her our budget and she figured out 9 amazing days and all under budget! She suggested we opt for an Ocean Suite with Priority boarding and a jacuzzi tub...that was the best advice ever! Our cruise was wonderful and we can't wait to start planning the next time. I loved working with Lisamarie because she was as excited as we were for our vacation. She made sure everything was just right, also super professional and prompt. I know I will use her again. She saw our vacation exactly how we did and made it come true!!!
-Chelle Montague
"I can't recommend Lisamarie enough! She made booking easy and took care of everything for us! Our family had an amazing vacation (in Mexico) and we will use her again and AGAIN!!!"
