HAPPY 10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY, DIAMOND TRAVEL COMPANY!!!
2010-2020: Several years ago I decided that I wanted to delve into the
travel industry so I enrolled in an extensive training program, completed all
courses, and in December 2009 I sat for the nationally-recognized Travel Agent
Proficiency (TAP) certification examination and PASSED! I contemplated working part-time at a local travel
agency, but it was my Mom who guided me on the path to start my own
business. She and I spent countless
hours talking about different ventures – from bus trips to cruises to traveling
abroad – and she kept telling me, “You’re a natural, you can do this, Mel!” She was ALWAYS my biggest supporter and I was
so inspired by her enthusiasm and her confidence in me that I stepped out on
faith. Why not, right? After all, I had the greatest inspiration
from the one person who knew me inside/out. In January 2010, Diamond Travel Company was born!
I will never forget my first Diamond Travel adventure (also
motivated by my Mom) -- a bus trip to New York to see Memphis, a Broadway musical. We had lunch at Bubba Gump Shrimp and had
time for some local shopping and Junior’s Cheesecake before returning to
Maryland. It was a huge success and became
a very popular excursion. Diamond Travel
grew at a rapid pace and before I knew it I was planning trips and cruises for
family members, friends, co-workers, and got many referrals along the way. In addition to annual vacations, I have
planned birthdays, anniversaries, honeymoons, and other parties/celebrations in
several locales. I have helped bring
smiles to many children’s faces at Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and on Disney
cruises. I have organized family reunion
events. I specialize in YOU, whether it’s
a solo trip or a group adventure. If you
can dream it, together we can attain it!
I believe that the personal attention to detail I give to each and every
one of my customers is what helps to make Diamond Travel successful. Simply put, I truly love and enjoy what I do!
Over the last decade I have had many triumphs and am
grateful for my business, but I have also had some pain. In December 2014, I lost my biggest cheerleader,
my Mom. I almost quit. On tough days when I feel my energy is sapped I
have to listen intently to her voice in my spirit telling me, “You can do this, Mel!” in
order for me to push forward. Diamond
Travel was born out of love and I will continue to extend that to all who
entrust their travels to me.
I’m excited about my anniversary cruise on the Symphony of
the Seas next month and have planned a surprise party to honor my guests! Yes, I give back! I have several trips coming up in 2020 for
family and friends and each will receive a special perk. :-) And I am working on a NY Broadway trip in memory
of my Mom to celebrate “our” anniversary.
I could not have made it 10 years without each of YOU and I want you to know
that I appreciate your support more than you know!!! If you still need to plan your upcoming travels, please do not hesitate to contact me.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEXT 10+ YEARS!!!
Sincerely,
Melanie
