We just returned from a week spent with a group of 12 friends in St. Lucia at Sandals Grande St lucian . This group has increased each year and was there to mainly celebrate one lucky guys big 50 birthday. As time has progressed we stressed each member doing thier own thing to ensure that not only is it a great group vacation but  an awesome personal one as well. 

I get asked a bit why it is important to use a Travel Agent/Advisor. My answer is always that the right agent will offer first hand experience with your location, resort chain, or tour company. I know you see I vacation a lot but what you miss unless you read or look closer is often I am working too. Gone for me are the days of just relaxing and doing what I want on vacation as I try to expand my knowledge to ensure that I can best match you with your desired vacation experience. This trip to...

We just returned from St. Lucia where we started our trip off with a stay at Jade Mountain resort. If you are not familiar with this option let me paint a picture for you. The sanctuaries are all nestled along...

I finally made it to my last Sandals/ Beaches resort. Turks and Caicos is as beautiful as they say and the resort offered so much for all ages.  That water was still beautiful even on an overcast day. This all inclusive family option has 4 sections to choose from with many pools, dining, and entertainment options. I was there for my continued Sandal...

 My clients have reutrned from thier Peru/Amazon trip. They loved it and recommend it to future travelers but also found it to be challenging and rewarding in ways they never expected. This 2 week trip started in Lima Peru but saw them do a four day hike of the Inca trail to Machu Pichu and finished with nights spent in the Amazon jungle. We decided to work with G Adventures for this trip as It offerd the hiking option they were seeking. 

This was thier first time in Peru. Lim...

I have cruised the Mediterranean, Alaska, the Caribbean, the Pacific Coast but this was my first Hawaiian cruise. It was also my first UnCruise . They are a small ship cruise experience that focuses on adventure. We spent some time on land but less than on most of my previous cruises. We did conversely focus on water and animal experiences everyday. Th...

la Orana (Hello) I recently returned from a Fam trip to Tahiti. I got to explore 5 of these French Polynesian islands: Tahiti, Moorea, Raiatea, Ta haa, and Bora Bora. Before the trip we had to complete the Tahiti Tourism course which gave me a good base of information on Tahiti but nothing compares to expiring the islands for yourself.

Tahiti is the largest island in the chain and the one you will likely fly into. We spent some nights at the Tahiti Nui and found it close to the shopp...

 

Over Thanksgiving we were once again in Jamaica. We stayed at 2 resorts for the first time and I spent a day with the Jamaica Tourist Board to see 5 others. We did the bamboo river raft down the Martha Brae for the first time as well.

I really find that staying at the resorts gives me a better overall feel for how my clients will ...

We set out on the Celebrity Solstice for our roundtrip cruise from Seattle the end of August. Our cruise would take us to Ketchikan, Tracy Arm Fjord, Juneau, Skagway, Victoria and back to Seattle. I wasn’t there all for fun as my sea days were taken up with the Celebrity Seminar at Sea.

 

Seattle was sunny as w...

 You can cruise almost anywhere in the world where there is water. It may be a river or ocean cruise. It can be on a large floating city or a smaller more intimat yacht or all the things in between. As an agent I am fortunate enough to have sailed most of the usual cruise lines. A caribbean cruise , a European Cruise from Rome to Dubai, a Pacific Mexico short cruise, and of Course Alaska. Each line has its own personality and focuses and that is where I can really help you navigate all t...
