Committee, besides being part of her childrens sports such as T-Ball Snack Bar
volunteer, Assistant Den Mother for Boy Scouts, High School Band and Little Leaque
volunteer.
After retirement and spending a year decorating her new home in Yucaipa and planting
flowers she decided retirement was lacking human contact and missed talking with
others on a daily basis so she enrolled at San Bernardino Valley College and
became a Certified Travel Agent and worked for Delta Airlines in Ontario Airport.
That drive soon became stressful and decided to work locally for Calimesa-Yucaipa
Travel. A year later an opportunity to buy and own Calimesa-Yucaipa Travel was
given to her and the rest is history. She loves the opportunity of creating travel
for all clients in the Yucaipa Valley. No request is to small or challenging.
The agency is a full service agency providing Airline Tickets, Cruises, Tours,
Amtrak, Hotel and car rental. She has two employee's with a total of 21 years
of honest, professional experience; Marcee Brunnabend and Nan Sterling with her
in the office. The best part of being a travel professional is meeting the wonderful
individuals and families of the Yucaipa Valley. Travelers are the happiest people
and sharing in creating there adventurous travels to tropical, historical and
relaxing sights the world has to offer is simply the best job in the world, not
to mention the opportunity she has had to travel to her favorite destinations
of tropical island paradises of Bahamas, British Virgin Island, The West Indies
and Mexico. Her expertise is in Cruising. Angie and David had the opportunity
to sail to the Hawaiian Islands on the new Queen Mary 2. She and the agents enjoy
putting groups cruises together for Class Reunions, Weddings, and Family Reunions.
The agency also provides Wedding Registry, and Gift Certificates for birthdays,
graduations, retirement and anniversaries. She welcomes everyone to come in and
stop by for a visit or pick up a brochure where travel deams can come true.
