Our consultants haven’t just read about places,
we’ve experienced them!
Tami
Owner/Travel Consultant
Tami worked clerical jobs for years in the local school district to be on her children’s schedule. But in 1997 she asked herself this question: “What do I want to do when I grow up?” And she decided to pursue a different career – one that would take her places. She began working for a local travel agency part-time while she learned the industry. After three years at that agency she decided to launch out on her own and on 01/01/01 she founded Bluewater Destinations, Inc.
Who knew that nine months later on 9/11/01 such a tragedy would happen and the effects of it would rock the travel industry? Bluewater Destinations survived that shaking and began to grow.
She worked alone and soon brought on a friend to assist her in the office. Tami promoted and built group sales, where she met new friends and loyal clients as she and her husband traveled with them to new and exciting places. As business grew she brought on new agents and trained them on-the-job with each of them finding their own niche market of what they were passionate about. And now she works with the most amazing team in the industry.
The pandemic of 2020 hit the travel industry hard in their 20th year of business- – a time when they had planned to celebrate but instead, it all collapsed. The Bluewater Team survived the storm and continues to work through the daily changes in the industry. They can confidently say that you need a travel professional now more than ever.
Tami and her husband have traveled much of the world since 1997 and have returned to many of the same places they love. Travel is her therapy. She lives and breathes to travel and is grateful to have the opportunity to introduce so many others to new adventures and explorations of the world.
This quote sums it up about Tami: “I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list.”
Pat
Travel Consultant
Pat joined Bluewater Destinations in February of 2009. In her past life, she worked in a large global company and immediately caught the travel bug since so many of her colleagues were dispersed throughout the world. It was great to learn about their culture and make lifelong friends. Since that time, she has traveled to locations in Europe such as Italy, Greece, Turkey, Switzerland, Germany, France, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, England and Scotland. She has visited many Caribbean locations such as St. Martin, St. Thomas, St. John, St. Croix, Antigua, Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Turks and Caicos, St. Lucia and Puerto Rico to name a few. Alaska and Hawaii are among her favorite locations in the US. Her client background includes planning cruises, destination weddings, all-inclusive vacations, honeymoons, group travel such as girlfriend and family vacations, Disney and Universal Studios packages, Europe packages and many other destination packages throughout the world. Let Pat take the bull by the horns and create your ultimate vacation!
Liz
Travel Consultant
Liz has been with Bluewater Destinations since 2013. She has been to Disney World in Orlando dozens of times, and also enjoys visiting Universal Studios while in Florida, and that love brought her to Bluewater Destinations. Since then she has branched out to specialize in many other destinations, including Florida beaches, All-Inclusives in the Caribbean/Bahamas, Alaska cruises, and Hawaii.
Liz has visited all 50 states, as well as many countries in the Caribbean and Europe, and has even toured China. But her wishlist of future destinations is still long – Australia and New Zealand are next on the list!
Sarah
Travel Consultant
Sarah has had a desire to travel since she was young and she put it into practice at age 17 when she embarked on a 3-week trip to Czechia, Austria, and Ukraine without knowing a single soul! Since then Sarah has traveled to many places but her favorite by far is Ireland. It was after planning her trip to Ireland eight years ago in 2014 that she began working with Bluewater Destinations and has been planning memorable vacations ever since. Immersive and off-the-beaten-path experiences are right up her alley as she loves to absorb the culture, sites, sounds, and beauty of each destination she visits. Sarah is also a huge foodie and considers this one of the best and easiest ways to experience the personality and learn about the culture of your chosen destination. Wherever you wish to travel (All-inclusive? Europe? Honeymoon? Theme parks?), Sarah would be honored to be your partner, guide, and friend as you work together to create a trip worth remembering!
Beth
Travel Consultant
Beth joined Bluewater Destinations in January of 2018. She and her husband, Adam raised two beautiful children. Beth was wanting a new venture and decided to combine two of her passions, helping people and travel. She has primarily traveled to several Caribbean islands, cruises, and of course, Disney. She has a long bucket list of countries she is planning to visit in the near future. She looks forward to taking the stress of finding the perfect trip off of you and being your personal travel planner.
