Your travel dreams are about to turn into a reality. So that you can create long-lasting pleasant memories that will last a lifetime each and every time! Your Overall Experience and Satisfaction IS of Utmost importance to Me.
A long time ago I learned that it is not worth the frustration, aggravation, and potential disappointment booking on my own without a professional travel advisor. Especially NOT through a discounter or online site. Even direct. Although enticing and they are very convincing, I learned the hard way. You always get what you pay for. Pressing the "Book Now" button was easy, but I wasn't getting the service or support I needed. We you book with me, it will not be the case.! I strive to deliver more value as I do my best to eliminate surprises and prevent unrealistic expectations.
Here are my reasons you should book through me:
1) Prompt service and attention. Even after you have booked.
How many other agents, agencies, or companies close their phones or doors and shut off their phones by a certain hour? Not me! I strive to be of service with extended hours. Available to you in the event of an emergency while traveling day and night.
How many agents do you know that shut themselves off when they go on vacation? Not me. I strive to be connected and to be of service no matter where I am in the world.
2) You will receive expert advise and tips from a very well--traveled, educated, and experienced travel advisor.
You will be working with someone who is knowledgeable and unbiased. Not an order taker like those who work for the cruise lines or travel operator companies. I don't just sit behind a desk. I explore. I learn. I experience. Learning from my travels and experiences so to help you build that most delightful vacation experience and avoid potential pitfalls. It doesn't cost you a penny for my expertise.
3) You can trust that our offers are legit and value-packed! It won't cost you more. We strive to save you time and money.
Translating misleading offers and marketing. Helping you avoid hidden fees and unnecessary expenses. We monitor pricing. Should your booking qualify, we pass on the savings or upgrade for you. Whichever you choose and qualifies.
4) You will be dealing with a real person not a heartless computer. A live person who cares and has your back. Providing you with Peace of Mind.
You are more than just a client. I strive and work to become a lifelong friend and someone you can trust for all your travel needs.
5) You will receive immediate or prompt responses to all your communications.
No matter where I am in the world, I do not turn off my phone when traveling except when flying or the calling feature needs to be turned off during a cruise. I strive to stay connected via internet at all times. When I am traveling you can reach and call me via many internet platforms such as Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and more!
6) You will receive the TLC you deserve. I can customize your vacation. Offer you personalization, and a level of care that a big company or online agency cannot deliver.
Did you know that when you book direct you are paying for a service that you are not getting? I do not charge a fee for my services. I work on commission from those companies. I am working for YOU!
7) You will be able to travel with peace of mind I have your back.
8) You will be assured of the best experience with the most value for the price each and every time!

When and Where Did it Begin
My journey began in Canada where I grew up and was raised. I wanted to be an air stewardess, but was turned away because I was too tall for the fuselage at the time.
The journey escalated when I married. My husband enjoys traveling as much as I do.. Life’s circumstances brought us to live in many places within the U.S. and Canada. We’ve lived in Missouri, Tennessee, New York, Texas in the U.S., as well as Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia, Canada. Florida is now our home and I am delighted to be here.
My husband and I began cruising since 1980. It took 25 cruises before I decided to make a career out of it. So glad I did! It has taught me so much!
Traveling with my family to many places around the world opened my eyes. Each trip a learning experience to discover, meet and grow my knowledge base and free myself from misconceptions. Folks, its amazing how different it can be in a positive way.
What Are My Areas of Expertise
Ocean and River Cruises are my primary area of specialization and expertise. This is where I have the most experience and knowledge. My firsthand travels on the variety of cruise lines and their ships can be priceless asset to you. They are all ships that sail to the same destinations, but each have their unique personality and offerings. Which would best match your unique personality, budget, and interests? I can help with that.
Destinations include Europe, Alaska, Canada, Domestic U.S., Mexico, Hawaii and more.
Through my experiences I have learned, sometimes the hard way, what are the pitfalls and what should be avoided. These are tips and suggestions I try to provide to each and every client I service. I strive to protect you.
No one likes to be limited. I have expanded into other areas and modes of travel, travel services, and experiences that don't include cruises. These include Escorted Tours, All-Inclusive Resorts, and more.
Taking a cruise? I can create a seamless package to include airfare, transfers, hotels, excursions along with the cruise. I take care of the details so that you don't have to.
Just want to get away? Just for the weekend? I can help. We offer hotels, car rentals, trains, and most everything you need.
You will find me able and ready to make your vacation one of your most favorable and memorable ever. A dedicated, well-rounded, unbiased, friendly, professional advisor who cares about you.
