My husband and I had an amazing trip to Belize last week (Christmas week 2007). We flew into Belize City, then took a very short flight to Ambergris Caye. What a great little place! We stayed at Belizean Shores- good pool and close to other resort restaurants. Capricorn restaurant, located about 15 minutes (walking) from the resort was absolutely amazing food. The water is crystal clear and we spent mornings kayaking out to "wake up" with the dolphins- such a great, peaceful way to spend each morning. One day we did the Xunantunich Mayan Ruins. It was a long drive across the country (to the Guatemala boreder) but Belize is a beautiful country. After seeing the amazing ruins, we went cave tubing and then stopped by a wildlife reservation and saw plenty of howler and spider monkeys, crocs, turtles, etc. We did a fishing trip with Tuff E Nuff tours- we really liked our tour guide (who also did the ruins with us). After fishing, he grilled a Beach BBQ for us- amazing food- with the fish we caught plus some lobster and crab he had caught. Then we snorkeled- he was great, knew where the sharks and stingrays were and we saw so many of both species! Another excursion we did was the Hol Chan Marine Reserve- where giant seaturtles were hanging out- then headed to Shark Ray Alley and dived. The diving is not deep there- probably 30 feet or so. I highly recommend Belize. Belizeans are beautiful people, great spirits and so friendly. We used a travel agent- and I highly recommend her- alexis at distinctdestinations dot org She took care of everything for us- I told her my budget and she worked hard to stay within it and get us a great, beautiful unit 16 steps from the ocean. I will most definitely be using her for future travel. She was so easy to touch base with- responded to emails within minutes usually. This was definitely a vacation we really, really loved.

Pros: Great customer service

As a writer, I'm always looking for distinct destinations to use as settings in my spicy legal fiction. In my debut novel, Tick Tock, a murder was committed on the beautiful pink sandy beach of Horseshoe Bay in Bermuda. It was a place that until I met Cheryl Gill, the owner of Distinct Destinations, had only existed in photos and travel magazines. But, as the novel approached a climax, I knew that a trip to the island was inevitable. Those secluded alcoves, the crystal caves, and the rippling blue waters, I had to experience for myself up close and personal in order to bring it to my readers in the pages of my romantic thriller. Distinct Destinations made it possible for me to venture outside of my own backyard bringing the picturesque destinations displayed in travel magazines within my reach. I was so impressed with the resources and attention to detail of the travel agency so much so that I again and again call on them to take me away. My next novel will take readers to Costa Rica in the pages of another romantic mystery and Distinct Destinations is mapping out a trip of my very own. So, away we go. Gail Ramsey, Author of Tick Tock

Pros: Agents offer a wider range of personal travel expertise to places like Aruba, Africa, Barbados, Bermuda, California, Ireland, India, etc.
