I have been in the travel business since 1986. I love to travel and have been on Viking’s, and Avalon’s River Cruises. They are a very comfortable and easy way to travel. The accommodations are great and the tour guides on each of the River Cruises have been great. For clients who have difficulty traveling, I would highly recommend a river cruise. One may do as much and as little as one chooses. My first river cruise was from Prague to Budapest. What a wonderful first cruise that was. I was able to sell that cruise to 5 of my clients and they all said wonderful things about the cruise. I love to take my time with clients and offer them options. Most of all I like to hear their interests and what their expectations are.
Last summer I took a group of ten on an Alaska Cruise using Celebrity. We spent 2 days in Seattle and I used Carey International to take us from The Seattle airport to our hotel in Seattle and also on the return. Carey International is a great way to transport a group of travelers. They handled our luggage and took us safely to our destination.
After I traveled on all rivers in Europe, I started to take guided tours to various countries. I have been to Ireland, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden. All were on escorted tours either by Globus or Travel Impressions. A wonderful way to travel and see the world.
I have been to Italy 4 times. Italy is one of my favorite places because my parents were born there. I speak Italian fluently and was able to help my groups get special treatments because I could communicate with the Italian vendors and guides.
In September I have a group doing a Globus Train and Bus tour out West. It should be exciting. I like to have a group come to my home for breakfast and help them complete travel documents.
The Caribbean is also a wonderful place to travel as well as Hawaii. I have done many memorable honeymoons to Paradise Island, Saint Thomas and Barbados and St. Croix.
