Sunny Ranieri - Owner / Agent |

My name is Sunny Ranieri and I was born and raised in Colorado. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree from Colorado State University in 2003. In 2008, I received my Master of Business Administration with a concentration in finance and accounting. I have traveled to Russia, lived in Australia, backpacked and skied for three weeks in New Zealand, cruised through the Caribbean and spent a week touring South Korea. My passion is scuba diving and I have been diving in various locations including; Great Barrier Reef, Fiji, Bonaire, Cozumel and Jamaica. I love to travel and see the world and that is why I do what I do. I get to see people so happy each day and that is very rewarding. Get out there and adventure!

I have been in the travel business for over 30 years now, and still enjoy the daily challenges that come with this ever-changing industry. I love the personal satisfaction of being able to deliver a unique vacation experience that matches both your budget and travel interests. I feel so fortunate to have a career that I love, and make people happy in the process. The most rewarding aspect of my career, is making lifelong relationships- and creating new ones!
I have cruised Alaska, Europe, and everywhere in between many times, and at the same time experiencing most of the cruise lines in the process.
Hawaii is my home away from home, having traveled there more times than I can count! Over the years, I have explored most of Mexico- and all of the Caribbean Islands. Recently. I have discovered my love of Europe, and could never get enough of Italy, Spain or France. I spent my 50th birthday in the city of lights (Paris), and visited the beached of Normandy.
The world is truly an amazing gift of diversity- and I advocate the phrase:‘You’ve gotta get away if you’re gonna get a life’!! (What are you waiting for????)

Rachelle Smith - Agent |

My name is Rachelle Smith and I was born and raised here in Windsor, Colorado! Venturing out of our small town after high school I attended the University of Hawaii and then graduated with a Business Communication degree from the University of Northern Colorado. I have been in the travel business for over 5 years now and find that having travel as a passion of my own helps me best serve my clients. I have been lucky enough to live in Hawaii and have traveled the islands extensively. I also have personal experience traveling to Disneyworld (with two little ones in tow!), Mexico and have vacationed at or cruised to almost all of the Caribbean islands. I represent Vacations in Paradise as a Honeymoon and Destination Wedding Specialist and would love to help you plan your dream vacation.

Kirsten Wiest - Agent |

I have lived most of my life in Colorado, and am happy to be able to raise my family in the same place where I grew up. I have been in the travel business for almost 20 years, and still love it! Starting as a hotel desk clerk in Greeley, I then worked as a reservations agent for Rail Europe, in Boulder, and eventually became a Travel Consultant for AAA in Spokane, Washington. I have worked in both Leisure and Corporate Travel since. I was fortunate enough to become an Independent Consultant with the birth of my first child, and was able to have the best of both worlds by working from home, while raising my babies. I have travelled extensively through the United States, living in upstate New York, Connecticut, Washington State, and in Northern California. I have been to Europe a few times, as a tourist in Italy, and was able to stay with a family, to see how they lived in Paris, and in the South of France. I have been to Disneyland, Disney World, and on a short Disney Cruise. My love is the ocean, and have enjoyed trips to Mexico, and several trips to Hawaii, my favorite! As a Consultant, of course, I love being able to travel... but my favorite part of my job is my clients. It is so exciting to me, to see my clients get excited about an adventure they are about to take, and hearing about it when they get back! I am excited to meet you, and to help you plan your next adventure!
“We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure.

My name is Sherry Wirtz, and my friends all say that I have itchy feet—meaning, I’m sure, that I’m always on the go somewhere! Traveling is my passion, and I’m usually planning my next trip on my way home from the one I’m on. I have two college-age daughters that can attest to my love for travel, because they have been towed along since they were toddlers. I have a special interest in adventure travel, and recently spent a month solo in Thailand, riding elephants and playing with tigers. I have visited most of the Caribbean islands, been to yoga retreats in Costa Rica, snorkeled with whale sharks in Mexico, explored shipwrecks in Bermuda while scuba diving, and have been exploring the Mayan Riviera regularly for 15 years. To me, travel is the ultimate learning experience, and that’s why I’m a travel agent—to use my knowledge to help YOU plan the ultimate vacation! Whether it’s a weekend in San Francisco or a cruise around the world, we can make it happen!
