What It’s Like to Work With Me

💌 Step 1: Let’s Connect

Start by reaching out through my “Get in Touch” form, email mflood@dreamvacations.com or call 608-453-7888. I’ll personally follow up and email you my New Client Form where you can share your travel ideas, preferences, and important trip details. At the end of the form, you’ll have the option to schedule a phone or virtual Zoom call—whichever feels best for you.

💛 Step 2: Getting to Know You

During our first call, we go far beyond dates and destinations. I take the time to understand what this trip really means to you. Whether you're celebrating something special, reconnecting as a couple, traveling with family or friends, or simply needing time to unwind… your “why” matters.

🌍 Step 3: Custom Planning

After our call, I'll get to work researching and designing your vacation based on your preferences. You’ll receive thoughtfully curated options tailored to your vision. We’ll refine together until everything feels just right—your feedback is always part of the process!

✈️ Step 4: Selecting & Booking Your Trip

Once you’ve chosen your perfect vacation, I’ll send a secure credit card authorization form that includes trip and payment details, supplier terms and conditions, travel protection options, and any other required documentation. I handle booking everything directly with our trusted travel suppliers on your behalf.

📄 Step 5: Confirmation & Details

After your booking is secured, you’ll receive your invoice/receipt and all trip confirmation documents via email. Everything is organized, clear, and easy to access.

⏰ Step 6: Ongoing Support

If your trip includes a final payment, I’ll track your due date and send a reminder ahead of time so nothing is missed.

🧳 Step 7: Preparing for Travel

About a month before your departure, you’ll receive your digital itinerary (Travel Planner App) along with helpful travel and destination tips. A couple of weeks before your trip, I’ll mail you printed travel documents (because sometimes having paper in hand just feels better!)

☎️ Step 8: Support Your Way

Whether you prefer minimal updates or more hands-on support, I’m available in the way that works best for you— including calls or Zoom meetings before your trip.

🚢 Cruise Bonus

If you book a cruise with me and haven’t made final payment, I monitor pricing. If a lower rate becomes available, I’ll work to adjust your booking when possible—one of the many benefits of booking early!

💫 The Heart Behind It All

This is more than booking a trip—it’s about creating meaningful experiences and celebrating life’s moments. I’m here to make sure you feel taken care of every step of the way.
