Susan Blume,CTC
Founder
When my husband and I got married, he was a US Army Ranger stationed in Germany. Being a military family provided us with a wonderful opportunity not only to travel but also to live in different places and experience life as locals. Having already been in the travel industry for a few years, I was able to start working in travel for the military in Germany right away. When we moved to our next duty station, I took on the role of assistant manager at the Officers' Club, overseeing daily operations and events for over 500 guests. I have a passion for cooking, hosting, and entertaining. Upon returning to the US, I wanted to open my own agency to combine my travel and food/hospitality experience. One of the things I love about being a travel agent is meeting new people and hearing all about their dream vacations. I’m the proud owner of Personal Escape, a travel agency that specializes in creating fully customized and unique vacations around the world. With nearly 35 years in the industry, I focus on providing 5-star service to all types of travelers in countless destinations.

I worked with Susan to plan my honeymoon and I'm so happy with that decision. Susan was always so friendly and quick to respond. We even received a sweet wedding gift from her, it was a wonderful personal touch. Susan curated the perfect itinerary for us through Spain and Portugal, assisting us with hotels, flights, and car transfers. After planning a wedding for 200 plus people, the last thing I wanted to do was also plan our honeymoon too. Susan planned everything seamlessly, all we had to do was show up! I'd highly recommend working with Susan and Personal Escape Travel.

Fabulous trip to Disney World and on a Disney Cruise planned by Sue. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. She easily answered my concerns and addressed all of our needs.
The Disney Fantasy was amazing. We had a perfect room on Deck 20, close to the elevator, with a large veranda. The service was just outstanding. We had an incredible time and can’t wait for the next trip!

This was my first time using a travel agent, but Susan was wonderful. She answered so many questions for us and was constantly sending us so many quotes from a bunch of different resorts. She made the planning process so easy and stress free. We had an issue with our honeymoon as there was a hurricane coming in the day we were supposed to fly. She quickly handled it for us and got us onto the next possible flight out and we didn’t have to lift a finger. I can’t thank her enough for all of her help!

Highly recommend. Susan was great to work with!
We had previously engaged (and paid a deposit) with a luxury travel agent but didn't feel like we were vibing. I read reviews online about Susan and decided to eat our deposit and work with her instead. Best decision ever. She helped us narrow down our wishlist and come up with a trip to Mallorca and the South of France (France wasn't even on our radar before). She was imaginative, easy to communicate with, and always responsive. Our return flight ended up getting cancelled and Susan jumped right in to help us troubleshoot. Thank you Susan for helping us plan the honeymoon of our dreams! Can't wait to book our next trip with you.

Susan truly made this a trip we will never forget! With stunning locations, and incredible accommodations that made us feel like true royalty, we saw Italy in a way we will never forget! There was no aspect of our trip where we felt unsure or nervous on our journey! Susan took care of every single detail down to the car ride from the hotel to the train station or airport. She found us hidden gem areas that were not as mainstream and touristy, but were maybe triple the beauty! (Plus she still managed to get us day trips to those iconic locals)
This was a trip we will truly never forget and we cannot thank Susan enough! I am a frequent traveler and this was my first time letting go of the reigns and using a travel agent, and I am beyond glad I did!
In two weeks we were able to see Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi, Ravello, Florence, and Rome!
In each location we were accommodated skip-the-line tickets which gave us immediate access to all the art and history in the museums, leaving us with enough time to see even more of each city!
A review truly cannot put into words the beauty and comfort we were afforded thanks to Personal Escape Travel, specifically Susan Blume! Thank you so much!

I used Sue to help with my honeymoon trip to Italy. I’ve never using a travel agent before and wasn’t sure what to expect, but Sue was a JOY to work with. She’s incredibly knowledgeable - I asked for recommendations for excursions and was not disappointed by anything she picked. She is also very responsive, responding to my email inquiries in a matter of minutes. Once your package is ready, she sends you a very well organized file with all the necessary documents which came in handy when we were traveling. I reached out to her once while we were traveling to get an earlier transfer to the airport and she jumped on it right away. She even sent us a little gift to say congratulations. I highly recommend her, especially if the idea of planning a wedding AND honeymoon at the same time makes you feel stressed out. It was a really easy process and we will be using her for future trips as well. Thanks again Sue!!!

After planning my wedding myself, the last thing I wanted to do was to plan a lavish Hawaii honeymoon. Enter Sue and Personal Escape. Sue took the time to listen to what we wanted out of our honeymoon, and then moved heaven and earth to make it happen.
We had a week in Maui and a week in Kauai planned, and when Maui suffered devastating fires a week before we were set to travel, Sue and her team worked day and night (including weekends) to reschedule us onto Kauai for the entire trip. Through Sue our trip was entirely insured and we received full refunds for the Maui piece, and the best part was I didn't have to do anything (which was great because I was focused on finalizing wedding prep).
I am so grateful I chose to work with Sue, and would recommend her to absolutely anyone. I love that we received a paper packet with all of our confirmation numbers, flight and excursion details. Super helpful when we didn't always have internet access on the remote island. Sue even checked in to make sure everything was going well during our trip. I couldn't have asked for better support. We look forward to working with her on our future travels.

She was always there to answer all my questions or just listen to me vent about whatever. Even when things were going wrong while I was in a different country for my wedding Susan was an email or phone call away and was able to assist. Susan is so nice and I would recommend her to anybody. I will continue to use Susan for any of my future trips and I would advise you to use her too. She definitely helps take the stress away from wedding planning and makes it a breeze.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Susan Blume who went above and beyond to plan a safe, beautiful, and affordable beach vacation for my daughter and her three friends. I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the exceptional service and attention to detail provided by this amazing travel agent.
From the very beginning, Susan exhibited a high level of professionalism and expertise. She took the time to understand our requirements and preferences, ensuring that every aspect of the trip aligned with our needs. Susan held conference calls to listen to all parents concerns and even offered to meet the girls in person to review the trip. The trip to DR was the perfect location that offered a balance of safety, natural beauty, and affordability.
She meticulously researched and selected accommodations that were not only comfortable and budget-friendly but also located in a secure area. This gave us peace of mind throughout the vacation, knowing that our children were in a safe environment.
Susan also arranged transportation from the airport to the resort, making the entire journey hassle-free. She provided details about local attractions, restaurants, and activities, allowing the girls to make the most of their time at the beach destination.
Throughout the planning process, the Susan was readily available and responsive to our questions and concerns. Her excellent communication skills made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. She was patient, attentive, and genuinely cared about the girls well being.
I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a fantastic beach vacation.. Her dedication to creating a safe, beautiful, and affordable experience surpassed all expectations. I am extremely grateful for her expertise and professionalism, and I will definitely be reaching out to Susan for future travel needs.

Little late to writing our review because things have been extremely hectic since getting back from our honeymoon. But I can not thank Sue enough for the best Hawaiian Honeymoon! We got married September 30, 2022 and took a two week honeymoon to Hawaii spending a week in Kauai and a week in Maui. I contemplated booking everything myself vs a travel agent and we ended up using Sue because she had great reviews, we didn’t want to deal with the Covid rules, and Sue was very responsive. Our trip was unbelievable! We had the most amazing time! We stayed in the most beautiful hotels and everything was so easy to book with her help! We loved how organized everything was with all the confirmation numbers and information sent to us in a packet right before our trip. Sue checked in on us during the trip as well which was sweet. It truly took a lot of stress off my plate as the bride and I’m so glad we choose to use Sue! Can’t wait to have Sue help us put together a one year anniversary trip to Italy!

Sue was absolutely amazing! She helped us plan our honeymoon in Hawaii with booking hotels and renting a car. One of the hotels we had gotten a night free, plus a bottle of champagne and free sit down breakfast each morning! She also sent over a ton of excursions for us to book. In the beginning, I had a difficult time choosing hotels and what part of the islands to stay in (changed this a few times) and she was very patient with me and offered her advice. I would absolutely recommend Sue to help plan your honeymoon and would use her again for future trips!

Sue from Personal Escape Travel was the BIGGEST help when planning a bachelorette party in Napa Valley. She went above and beyond to find us a place to accommodate 15 girls AND find the cheapest transportation to get us all to/from the airport and all wineries. She was always a phone call or email away - we never had to go a day without hearing back from her. Not only was truly a lifesaver, she is also the sweetest human! You would be silly not to reach out to her to help with any travel planning you may need.

Sue was always available and quick to respond to questions during the planning process and was flexible when we changed our minds about our destination due to the unknowns with the pandemic. The hotel recommendations and locations were spot on and Sue was very knowledgeable and helpful with the all of the travel and transportation as well as selecting excursions. With the busy-ness and stress of wedding planning, Sue took one big thing off our plate and made the whole trip stress-free! We definitely recommend using Personal Escape for your next trip!

Sue was great! I came to Sue after 2 failed planning attempts with 2 other planners. Sue was super attentive and responded promptly! She was not only great at working with the off-site coordination team (Royalton Negril), but she was great with my family. I can honestly say one of, if not the most stressful parts of the entire wedding experience is family, so having someone to facilitate room blocks and really anything to do with family is a must! I definitely intend on using her services again for future trips!

Hiring Susan Blume to help us plan our honeymoon was one of the BEST decisions we've made. She was recommend to us by friends and we've already recommend her to multiple people. Susan is thorough and responds to emails in a very timely manner. We went to Greece on our honeymoon and she put together many different options for us to choose from and customized them to our needs. She made traveling so easy with all the transportation set and ready. She chose amazing hotels and it was the most perfect honeymoon! While we were away was always checking in to make sure everything going as planned! She goes above and beyond and is a MUST HIRE for any travel planning, we will be 100% using her again!

I just returned from my honeymoon in beautiful Hawaii that would not have been possible without the help of Sue at personal escape travel. She was so helpful especially in these uncertain travel times due to Covid. She responds to emails right away and was in touch with us every step of the way. I can’t recommend her enough for booking a relaxing honeymoon after the stress of wedding planning. Thank you, Sue!!

Sue recently helped us book a vacation to Italy and she was awesome! From the very beginning of the planning process, she helped us quickly identify affordable flights, great hotels with nice locations, and helped us book fun excursions based off of what we wanted to do. She is also extremely responsive and checked in with us occasionally during our trip. It was such a pleasure to work with her on this trip, and we will certainly be using her again to help book future vacations.

Sue was absolutely amazing planning my last minute wedding & honeymoon! My wedding was cancelled in 2020 due to COVID and my now husband and I could not decide what to do for the longest time. We decided very last minute we did not want to wait any longer and reached out to Sue to see if she would be able to help us plan our wedding and honeymoon to a Hawaii in 3 short weeks. She nailed it! I have never worked with anyone who was so quick to respond and had such a solid idea of what I was looking for in this trip. Needless to say everything from the wedding down to the hotel rooms were perfect! My parents and in-laws joined us on this trip and she was very patient with them and also answered all of their questions! My mom is very detail oriented and she also said she has never worked with someone who was so helpful and quick to respond! We will definitely be using Sue for all future trips!

Sue was amazing!! I was so stressed with wedding planning that I really needed help with planning the honeymoon. Also with Covid I wasn’t sure which destinations I would be able to travel to. Sue was honest about where there would be restrictions and which countries weren't safe to travel. I kept going back and forth with locations but Sue was incredible and always replied quickly with different quotes. Booking through Personal Escape Travel was truly the best decision I’ve made and was so stress free. I’m so excited for my honeymoon to Costa Rica!

SUSAN BLUME - YOU ARE AMAZING! My husband and I used Susan to book our honeymoon in 2020. Due to Covid-19, we had to cancel and she was prompt in getting our money returned to us. We then re-booked with her in 2021. After working with her again I realized she is the best of the best. I mean you truly cannot ask for more. She listens to what you want and stops at nothing to make it happen. She then is readily available whenever you need something. I have emailed her A LOT and she gets back to me within minutes, no matter the day or time. We had an issue with one of our scheduled excursions and she worked diligently to resolve the issue. Additionally, she truly seems to love what she does which I think makes all the difference. We could not be happier! You will not be disappointed if you hire her. We will be utilizing her for future trips 100%!

My son recently got married and used Sue Blume for his honeymoon. They raved about how great Sue was. She helped them tremendously to pick out their dream honeymoon considering this was during the COVID PANDEMIC.
With that being said my husband and I decided to use Sue Blume for our vacation. I emailed Sue with our vacation ideas and she immediately responded. From that first email to the end of our trip, Sue was with us every step of the way. Traveling during the pandemic made us undecided and a bit skeptical. Sue was on top of ALL and ANY updates regarding vaccinations, travel precautions, restaurant and excursion capacities. She went above and beyond to make us feel as ease. Her professionalism and communication was impeccable. Days before our departure she contacted us and made sure we had everything we would need. Again, with the pandemic, restrictions and requirements were in full force.
Our Hawaiian vacation was absolutely perfect. The comfort and ease to travel was all due to SUE BLUME. We had a dream come true, once in a lifetime vacation. Our memories will last forever and Sue will be part of our memory.
We are planning another vacation with Sue.

Susan Blume was a God send! I found Sue just by doing a google search and saw she was in my area. I spoke with her on the phone and instantly knew from her kind nature that I wanted to work with her. I didn't want to have to go back and forth with my upwards of 100 guests about accommodations for my wedding. From the very beginning, Sue was attentive to all of our needs and answered all of our questions promptly and efficiently. I always felt like she had my best interests at heart. Sue also handled the reservation for my honeymoon and again everything was seamless. She was even available to help when we were onsite. I would highly recommend Sue from personal escape travel. It'll be the best thing you ever do!

Personal Escape Travel is the best! Sue Blume (our travel agent) sorted every little detail of our honeymoon travel out for us, making it an effortless process. The resort she recommended was wonderful, and she made sure we met all the travel requirements currently in place due to Covid-19. We'll be using this agency for all of our vacation planning going forward. We can't speak highly enough about our experience!

I must say it was truly a pleasure working with Susan. My group we had a lot of request due to uncertainty at the planning stage yet Susan met them all. There was never a time we reached out to her for something and she did not willingly help. Even to issues while on the trip and Susan was a very big help. Her willingness to help was incredible and she did everything in her power to met all our needs!!! I would definitely give you 10/10 for everything that you have done. Thank you so much for your friendliness, professionalism and your 100% willingness to help. Thank you

Sue is literally the best! We had absolutely no clue what we wanted to do for our honeymoon and she sent us like 17 packages after an hour. Then after we narrowed those down to a few locations she again sent us more packages based on which packages we had interest in. She worked with us on finding the perfect spot and we settled on Barbados. Sue also checked in on us regularly including answering our questions while in the airport while she was off. She made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, and are 100% going to use her again for all of our vacations.
