Owner & Travel Advisor

Hi everyone! I'm Christie, the owner of Shoot for the Moon Vacations. I started Shoot for the Moon Vacations because I love traveling and enjoy helping others plan those core memory-making vacations with their families or friends!

During my time in the Air Force, I traveled all over the globe, spending time in countries I wouldn't have dreamed of visiting! Now that I'm retired from the military, I still love traveling, but now it's with my family and group of girlfriends who also share my passion for travel and adventure!

This leads me to Shoot for the Moon Vacations! We specialize in creating unforgettable experiences for families and groups of adventurous women. So whether you're planning a family vacation or a friend's trip, we are here to help you plan every detail of your journey.

Top 5 Reasons Why You Should Work With a Travel Advisor

Many of you have access to the Internet and can look up your own flights and hotels. However, sometimes planning a vacation can be stressful, or you don't have the time to do it, so another year passes without a family vacation. That is why I am here! I am here to take the load off of your shoulders and translate your vision into a vacation you could only dream of—without the stress! Here are five reasons why working with me helps you!

1. We Save You Time

We take the guesswork out of researching and evaluating the many options available, saving you time and the hassles that often come with vacation planning. With our specialized training, experience, and knowledge about destinations, transportation options, and vendors, we can eliminate hours of online research time for you. Not only do we save you time researching all aspects, but we can also handle changes and other issues that may pop up before or during your trip.

2. We Take the Stress Out of Planning

Advisors help clients with all types of situations and are immersed in travel full-time, so we're aware of details you might not think of when planning on your own. Our knowledge and experience also give us the foresight to prevent potential problems. You don't know what you don't know. The difference between traveling on your own or with the help of a travel advisor is that we will worry about Plans A – Z. Instead of you sitting there trying to plan for the unexpected, we will. This leaves you to truly enjoy your vacation without a single worry.

3. We Offer Expert Recommendations

We will make personalized recommendations and offer tips on destinations, what to see and do while on vacation, the best and worst times to travel, and much more. We continually attend seminars and courses for the various destinations that we specialize in and the vendors that we use. Additionally, we are often well-traveled, having visited the destinations and experienced the vacations that we recommend to travelers.

4. Booking With a Travel Advisor is Not Transactional, It's Relational

Anyone can log onto Expedia and book a vacation. However, we will provide you with specialized experience that you can't get with an online booking site. Our goal is to establish a working, ongoing relationship with you. That's why many in the industry are no longer just called "agents" (someone who creates bookings) but now go by something more practical like "advisor" or "consultant" (implying a deeper level of service). We are there to take care of you.

5. We Can Help You See the Big Picture

It's easy to get lost in the details with travel planning, but we can help keep you on track to have experiences you'll remember for a lifetime.
