I have a system to make planning travel as easy as possible for my clients.
CONSULT - PLAN - READY TO GO!
Complimentary Consultation
You, as the client or group leader will set up a call with me at your convenience, using my online scheduler. The consultation is of no cost to you and will take from 20 - 30 minutes. This will give us an opportunity to get to know each other better and discuss what your vacation expectations are and what you want. Once I have a better understanding of your needs, I will begin the process of researching and building an itinerary / quote specific to your request and your needs.
The Planning Begins
Let the planning and fun begin! I will create up to 3 quotes for the same destination.
Those quotes can include:
- Flights
- Transfers
- Resorts and Cruises
- Tours and Excursions
- Car Rentals
- Special Events
- Travel Protection / Insurance
Then, we'll chat and tweak your chosen itinerary to make sure it meets your vision. Finally, I make the arrangements by applying your deposit. We can discuss payment plans if that is an option you are interested in.
Getting Prepared - Resources
I have used M.Cher travel agency for the past four years, Dottie has booked trips for us to Jamaica, Europe, and most recently to Curaçao.
Her commitment to ensuring that all details are thought out and clearly explained. In addition to following up upon arrival, and having accessibility during, and after our trip adds a special touch that makes you feel as though you’re the only client. These extra personal touches is the reason M.Cher is the only travel agency we use.

“I am not much of a review writer but Dottie truly helped me with my 30th birthday and accommodated my family and I with what we needed, answered any questions we had and gave her personal but yet professional advice, thank you Dottie for all your hard work”

I called Miss Dottie a month before our trip, I know very last minute. We decided on a destination to Montego Bay, Jamaica. We gave her our budget and she did not disappoint with so many great options. We decided to go with Secrets Wild Orchid Resort upgrading to the Preferred Club, best decision ever! Miss Dottie made sure all of travel arrangements were in place, from our flights and hotel, all we had to do was enjoy and relax. My husband and I called this vacation R&R (Relax & Reset) and it was much needed for our marriage. Thank you Miss Dottie for your true dedication and helping our family make memories in 2022.

My Husband and I were planning a family trip to Hawaii to see our son. I tried planning it on my own but it seemed too much to handle. My husband mentioned to me that our friend Dottie was a travel agent. We never used a travel agent before. It was very nice. I highly recommend Dottie Smith from M. Cher Family Fun Travel LLC. So we contacted Dottie. She was so welcoming and her schedule was flexible with ours which was wonderful.We had our first meeting, She was very helpful with all our questions . She even asked us more detailed questions to help us plan our trip. She gathered our information and gave us some options on hotels, flights and transportation. She even informed us of the hidden fees and what to expect in Hawaii so we didn't have a surprise in fees. This was good because we had never been to Hawaii. Our goal in our meeting was to be sure to make a deposit to secure our Trip ASAP because the dates we wanted to go to Hawaii were approaching quickly. It was nice ,we were able to make a deposit the same day we met with her. She also told us how to make the payments on our own through a site to make it convenient for us finish paying off our trip. .She also gave us an website to choose the vacation activities we would like to do. we were not sure at that time but we eventually book it closer to out vacation date. On the day of our trip, our flights were delayed due to Airline issues of course but Dottie was able to contact all parties to change some things since there was a delay in arriving in Hawaii. She was a true blessing because we would have not known who to contact. This was a little hiccup in our trip but Dottie was on it ASAP. Overall our trip to Hawaii was the best Vacation ever! You're the best Dottie! Angel and I are so thankful. Can't wait to book our next trip. -- Angel and Betsy Cortes
