About Me

Nuremberg Christmas Market 2024
Nuremberg Christmas Market 2024

The magic of a European Christmas market will forever be etched into my memory. I was completely enchanted. I especially love how every city embraces the European tradition with its own unique flair. To see the biggest cities in Europe filled with enchanting Christmas decorations was so fun. For me, experiencing the European Christmas markets was an unforgettable adventure. I also can’t forget the joy of eating my way through the rows of stalls, trying the local specialty foods, all while keeping my hands warm with a mug of traditional glühwein. River cruises are the easiest way to experience multiple locations while only unpacking once.

A great booking experience
Reviewed By Metalhead - Kennewick Washington | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
Ann Marie was great to work with for us. This is going to be our first cruise together,(my wife and me). She was able to help us find the cruise we wanted to enjoy and was very informative about getting everything put together. Even though we haven't departed on the trip yet (Aug2019)we are already thinking about our next vacation cruise to enjoy. We will definitely be contacting Ann Marie again to help with planning this one out as well.

Disneyworld during Covid, and it was AWESOME!!!
Reviewed By Weissenberger Family - Pasco, WA | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Ann Merie Edwards was awesome to work with! She was very knowledgeable concerning all things Disney and was wonderful at answering all the numerous questions we had about planning our trip to Disneyworld. We had planned this trip before Covid hit, and decided to stick with the plan to go. She kept us updated on all the changes that were happening and helped change our resort, when the original one closed. She is friendly, professional, and cares about her clients! We will book with her for our next trip! :-)
