Mill Travel was started in 1985 in Houston, Texas, USA by Eddie Gertner. Eddie had a furniture company, American Furniture Rentals and Sales, for almost ten years since he graduated from University of Texas at Austin in 1976 with a degree in business. American was bought by Aaron's Furniture Rental of Atlanta, Georgia, the largest furniture rental company in the industry. After selling American, Eddie traveled extensively as he had been doing all his life and his friends asked him for advice on travel since he had been on numerous cruises and Club Med vacations. He started a travel company as a hobby but his hobby turned into a big business. His idea was to give his clients great advice and the best prices and service. By living by this idea Mill Travel has been Club Med's #1 Top Producer for the last 24 years and is a member of Funjet Vacations, Southwest Vacations, United Vacations and Blue Sky Vacations prestigious "500 Club" for Sales Excellence along with other travel industry awards. Steve Fontenot and Donny Denmark had been working at Club Med in Club Med's reservations department, Steve on the "Preferred Partners Desk" as one of Club Med's top salesmen, and Donny, as an assistant supervisor. In 2005, after hearing Steve and Donny left Club Med, Eddie contacted them since they knew each other in their daily business operations. Mill Travel was getting much larger and Eddie needed help handling everything. SInce then Mill Travel has grown much bigger and has expanded. Mill Travel is proud to say that Donny and Steve are Club Med's #1 and #2 top producing travel agents. Monica Hendricks, a long time friend of Eddie who had been in the travel business with her sister for over twenty years at Twin Travel in Houston, joined Mill Travel in 2007 and she has been doing more and more travel business over the years. Mill Travel has always believed in having great product knowledge, giving the best prices and great service. Mill Travel has booked tens of millions of dollars of travel over the years for their many happy travel clients. Mill Travel handles all travel products and will save you money on everything.
