“Let Me Tell You Where to Go.” I have been a travel consultant for 41 years. In that time, I’ve become more than just an agent to my clients. I’m their partner, helping them not only plan the perfect trip but also helping them save money, putting their interests first, and taking care of all those little details that can overwhelm. After owning my own small agency, I moved to Plaza Travel in 1995 and made a name for myself specializing in customized group bookings for corporate meetings, using my experience in Sales and Catering at Holiday Inn to coordinate the various demands of those accounts. Along the way, I developed expertise in entertainment travel and cutting-edge agency technology. I was born in Bogota, Colombia, but have lived in the U.S. since age 1. I have two amazing sons that are doing their General Surgical Residency, one in Stanford, and one in University of South Florida. I currently serve on the board of SOCAL ASTA as Vice President, and previously as Treasurer. I had the honor of serving two terms as Director at Large for ASTA National.

Melody Vincent is an entertainment travel agent with over 20 years of experience in the industry. She was born in Texas, but has lived most of her life in Southern California. A love of music is what prompted her into the entertainment travel niche where she is dedicated to booking tours for music bands large and small. When booking tours she ensures that budgets are realistic and maintained; that hotel and car arrangements are suited to the traveler and that the tour manager has the information he/she needs to do their job on the road.

My expertise spans a wide range of destinations, with a particular focus on Europe, the Caribbean, and Mexico.

Having built strong partnerships with premier travel brands and luxury suppliers worldwide, I ensure each client receives VIP treatment and seamless planning from start to finish. My business is built on referrals and long-standing relationships, a testament to the trust and satisfaction of my discerning clientele. From the moment we begin working together, you can expect tailored attention, expert guidance, and a passion for travel that translates into unforgettable experiences.
