about us

Cathy Doering Yerecic

Cathy was bitten by the travel bug and never looked back. Over the years she has booked a variety of travel itineraries from corporate, incentive, and leisure travel. She loves to talk about her favorite destination, Alaska. On the last family trip her son, Eric, got down on his knee and asked Megan to marry him. She said yes! What a memory to keep. Family comes first and making lifetime memories for her clients is her specialty. In 2007, she opened her agency to cater to the deluxe traveler looking for elegant and unique vacations. Her favorite time to visit Alaska is during the summer months and the Caribbean when it's cold at home. Cathy is detail oriented and loves to customize and provide options that are not found in the normal everyday brochure.
