Shoutout to an Amazing Travel Agent – Jamie Purcell!

We just returned from an unforgettable family reunion in La Jolla, San Diego—and we owe it all to the incredible Jamie, a travel agent based in Madeira.

Our plans took a stressful turn when our original rental house was unexpectedly canceled less than two months before our trip. With 15 international family members relying on this trip, panic set in. That’s when Jamie stepped in and turned everything around.

From the moment we contacted her, she was quick to respond, calm under pressure, and made us feel completely at ease. Within days, she found stunning ocean-view villas that not only replaced our original booking but far exceeded our expectations. The hotel was absolutely beautiful—perfect for our large family and ideal for creating new memories together.

But Jamie didn’t stop there. She went above and beyond, planning excursions, restaurant reservations, and even provided us with our own custom itinerary app to keep everything organized.

We can’t recommend her enough. Whether you’re planning a quick getaway or a large group vacation, Jamie Purcell is the only travel agent we’ll ever use again. Her dedication, professionalism, and personal touch made this trip one we’ll never forget.

Thank you, Jamie, for making magic happen!
