I love to travel so in my partially retired life I decided to adapt my passion for travel along with 25 years of experience in Travel & Tourism to create Trips by Patty. I received a BA in American History from UNC-Chapel Hill. Not knowing what I was going to do with that degree, I started working as a desk clerk at a hotel in Raleigh. I enjoyed the hotel business and the career path began. Hotel operations and sales, Convention Center operations and marketing, destination marketing with a Convention Visitors Bureau and even a stint as a tour guide. What happened to the history degree? Well, many times when I am escorting my trips I share the history of the destinations we visit. It's a great feeling to take your career skills and adapt them to your own small business. I love what I do and hope you'll join me on a trip one day!

We had a great time on excursion to Charlottesville. We packed a lot into our 3-day trip. Patty Rogers and the Waterford Travel group did a great job organizing the trip! Would definitely do it again.

We had a wonderful time. The "excursions" were varied and we left with a ton of information re: President Thomas Jefferson and the University of Virginia as well as the home of President James Monroe. The last stop at the Virginia winery was perfect. Patty always "delivers"! She is organized and everything runs smoothly. She also has as excellent assistant and Donnie, our driver, is fantastic. My husband and I highly recommend Trips by Patty for those short get aways that you didn't know you needed until you experienced them!

Patty does a great job organizing and filling our days with great things to do and keeping everyone apprised of what's coming next and what time, etc. I only wish we had more free time to leisurely browse shops in Asheville. Thank you, Patty

This was a lot packed into 3 days but Patty managed to make it all work. King Tut, Andrew Wyeth, and gardens galore- a great trip.
