Travelling the world to gain first-hand knowledge of destinations is a priority for Cyndy Stanford - trips to Europe, the Caribbean, American resorts and cities, Central America, Mexico, Bermuda, Turkey and Greece have enabled her to plan detailed itineraries for clients since 1997. "My philosophy is to be conservative with the client's money, to understand what they really want and to deliver information in a manner that makes them want to come back to me every time they take a vacation."

Cyndy approaches each client's vacation or honeymoon as if she were taking the trip herself. What details would I need to know if it were my first time to the destination? What should I see and do? And which hotel best suits my wishes and budget?
