Elaine

Founder of Well Traveled Moments

Many people choose to make their career a primary focus in life. I was no exception to that rule. When it came to my role as a hospital administrator, I was laser-focused in my determination, worked long hours and had a lengthy commute. I married later in life, and instead of going on a honeymoon, I opted for a destination wedding. I just couldn't be away from work for too long. In fact, I had accrued so much vacation time that when it was time for me to move onto my next career, I was paid for months. However, something significant happened that would change my perspective forever. To learn more about why I shifted my focus and career path, simply click the button below.

Flying to Vacation

  • Two Friends Meeting up in New City

    Wonderful! Elaine planned a somewhat complicated friend trip for two people, arriving from separate places, staying in different hotels.

    Mark H - Virtuoso Review

  • wonderful organizer

    Our family could not recommend Elaine more. She was organized, responsive, found the activities that matched our needs and personalities, and helped us keep in budget. She was patient with our requests and seemed to really "get:" our family's quirky presonality. I look forward to many more trips plainned by Elaine.

    Simone I - Virtuoso Review

  • Knowledgeable and experienced

    Elaine is absolutely the person I want to lead the way in planning our vacations. Her attention to detail due to her experience is very comforting knowing she will notice the fine print and have suggestions as well. She is willing to give you space in the planning and move on your own accord or very open to taking it into her own hands to be as helpful as possible. She gets things done and I appreciate that!

  • Fantastic Maui, Hawaii Vacation

    Elaine was very patient with my wife and me. This was our first trip to Maui and turned out to be the best trip we ever had. Our hotel room was in the center of the complex on the top floor overlooking the beautiful beach. We could not ask for a better location in the hotel. Our excursions were well thought out and spaced to make things easy and worry free. Elaine offered places to eat and visit, she did the leg work and we benefited from it. All my future trips will be booked by Elaine, for sure.

  • Southern France River Cruise

    It’s always a pleasure to deal with Elaine. She always does the research on any ideas my wife and I throw her way. This trip was simple, a Viking river cruise with no extensions or add-ons. But she booked the seats we prefer on our flights, as she always does. That makes the long flight to Europe much more pleasant. We’ll be back with Elaine for our next adventure.

  • "Elaine made planning our honeymoon a breeze. She was beyond helpful with every aspect of our trip. From sending reminder emails to making sure that we had everything that we needed for our trip, she truly made our experience incredible! I would & have recommended her services to everyone that is looking for a travel agent. She is simply the best!"

  • "Elaine planned and coordinated an amazing 50th birthday trip for myself and 27 friends. Each and every detail was covered. From the minute we took off until the minute we landed at home. This provided us the luxury of simply enjoying the trip and making lifelong memories. Each and every lady on the trip recognized the amount of effort Elaine put into the trip to make it so special. Truly unbelievable service."
