"Our group utilized Etta Kemp’s travel expertise to arrange our European trip in May 2024. Our 12 member group consists of many strong women with firm opinions, but Etta handled us with grace and competence! She helped us decide on the Mediterranean cruise best suited for our interests and desires. Etta was detailed and generous with her time! We had a fantastic time, thanks in part to Etta’s travel planning! I’d recommend her for your family, group, or other travel needs!"

"My book club of 12 ladies traveled to Europe on a Mediterranean cruise. Our travel consultant, Etta, at EMK Destinations was great in helping us plan and execute the cruise. I appreciate all of Etta's hard work, time and effort in handling all of the questions and concerns from our various group members. Etta communicated effectively by email, telephone and even text messages. Our group had an Awesome trip, and I would certainly use EMK Destinations for future travel plans."

"Etta, This Cancun trip was so "awesome"! My family had a ball from the time we arrived until our last day, the foam pool parties to relaxation, the outside excursions (ATV rides, zip lining, and tequila tasting) and I personally want to thank you for your consistent dedication planning this trip for us! My nephew hugged me at our flight arrival back to Detroit thanking me saying "this was the BEST vacation EVER! Thank you again!"

"Good afternoon Ms. Kemp!! First of all, my SINCERE apologies for just now sending this to you. I've been SO tied up with hardly no free time with work, my bonus family and church since I've come from my 12 day vacation of a lifetime with you and the group under your leadership and EMK Destinations. This wonderful event started on 07/10/2025 and lasted until 07/22/2025. This was 12 days of one of the most memorable events I experienced in my life. It started with a tour of Barcelona, Spain, Naples, Florence, Pisa, Rome, and the two islands. I was particularly happy with the way you were organized and the schedules ran like clockwork and the tours and tour guides were outstanding. We truly had an amazing trip. I LOVE Norwegian's Cruise Line. The food (# of complimentary restaurants, late night restaurant, buffet; all were exceptional) the ship itself. The entertainment on the ship could have been just a tad bit better. But that's neither here or there. I rate the entire experience an "OA" for outstanding adventure!! Thank you SO much for allowing me to experience such an outstanding adventure. GOD Bless you Ms. Kemp!!"
