Alma

 I have been in the travel industry longer than many of my clients have been alive.

 I spent 31 years with American Airlines at DFW in departments ranging from Platinum and Gold Desk Rep to Managing 175 Baggage Service Reps.  Because of the various positions I held, I was asked to travel quite extensively for business networking and to acquire a knack for superior customer service. 

After my tenure with American, I wanted to move closer to my family and relocated to Galveston.  I found that I missed the travel industry and worked for 5 years at an agency on the island which held the corporate account for UTMB and some parts of NASA.  During this time I was able to hone my international skills since many of my clients traveled extensively to Europe, Asia, the Orient, and South Pacific.  Because of this environment, I was compelled to learn all that I could about the travel industry. 

I am a certified Princess Commodore, Cunard Commodore, Marriott Specialist, Starwood Hotel Specialist, Cancun Specialist, American Express Family Travel Specialist, South Africa Certified, Portugal Certified, Las Vegas Certified, UNIWORLD river cruise sSpecialist, Holland America Specialist, a Universal Studios Specialist and a graduate of the Disney College of Knowledge

As you can see, my whole life is centered around travel.  I have personally visited Africa, Asia, the Orient, the South Pacific and most of Europe.  I have seen Eastern Europe both before and after the break up of the Soviet Block.  I visited China when it wasn't THE PLACE TO GO.  Therefore, I know the "off the path": things to do and see that make a trip fun and different.

When I relocated to The Woodlands, I wanted to be a part of an agency that felt the same way about travel and PLACES that I do.  That is why I am proud to be a part of FOX TRAVEL/AMERICAN EXPRESS.

Please come see me for your next holiday, vacation, cruise or international adventure.  I'm here for you!

I started my career in travel in 1980, working as a travel agent and watching the travel industry grow and change. After successfully working in the travel agency for over 10 years;  I was given the opportunity to work for Friendly Holiday s (which was one of the worlds largest tour operator's) where I was Manager of Marketing & Sales. This position afforded me many opportunity to travel  extensively. Subsequently I was asked to be on the Mexico Board of Tourism in Houston and became very well acquainted  with all of Mexico.  I was honored to go on several inaugural flights to the <exican colonial cities as well as to the beach resorts. The Houston office closed in 1995; however, I was asked to continue to work  and call on Houston travel agencies and work trade shows for the Mexico Board of Tourism.

 I then opened my own agency Marino Travel and worked that for several years.  Then after a move to The Woodlands I decided to return to work with Fox Travel as a Sales Representative.   I have been fortunate in the fact that in my working career I have traveled extensively  through Europe,Mexico, Italy, Greece, Portugal ,Spain, France as well as the British Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
