My Profile

Who am I?

For those of you who aren't friends or family, you are probably wondering who I am.  My name is Kim Ponder.  I hold a Master of Arts degree in Gerontology and worked in social services for several years.  While I enjoyed working with older adults, a desire to be my own boss tugged at me for years.  I worked for Delta Air Lines for nearly eight years when I was in my 20s.  That career got me excited about the travel industry and afforded me the opportunity to see a little of what the world has to offer.  It is an amazing world out there, and there is much you need to discover! 

In 2005, my husband and I purchased a Cruise Planners franchise.  This company is the best, and we made the right decision.  While my husband continues his long teaching career, I run the business full-time.  I try to make myself as easily accessible to my clients as possible, via phone or email.  I want to be able to do the research necessary to find you the perfect trip, whether you are taking a family vacation, enjoying retirement, planning an exciting honeymoon or traveling with a group.  I spend lots of time finding the right cruise or vacation package based on my clients' wishes.  Many of my clients are first-time cruisers, honeymooners or organizing a group trip and need to be educated about the choices, costs and benefits of travel.  There are lots of choices and endless benefits.  A fulfilling vacation is the best way to relax with family and friends and provide a lifetime of memories.

So, if I can help you plan your trip -- a cruise, a vacation to a tropical resort or a week at Disney with the grandchildren, please call me.  I look forward to talking "travel" with you.
