About Me

Puerto Rico, Prague, Budapest

Puerto Rico is a very accessible Caribbean adventure land! More and more flights are being scheduled to get you there. If you love the history of Europe, Prague is a good bet. Old Town is a treasure of 15th Century Gothic architecture. It is easy to visit, with church with hundreds of years history, Jewish history to explore and many available day trips to see the rest of Czechia. Right now, it is incredibly inexpensive. Budapest is a very regal, modern city which you need to see. It straddles the Danube and has gorgeous European cafes, just like you heard of in your English Lit class. You also have the opportunity to step back and hear what life was like living behind the Iron Curtain. I look forward to planning your trip.

Old San Juan Puerto Rico!  We toured El Morro, the Castle and the walls in between, watched iguanas, cats , roosters and hens everywhere. At night, with the breezes, the sound of the waves, we loved the pretty coqui frog chirps unique to the island. We toured a coffee plantation, visited the Tain...Read More ▶

Walking over Charles Bridge with statues of saints, and musicians to entertain you, complete with chimney cakes filled with apple or ice cream. Its a lovely way to spend the evening, after a good meal. There are cruises on the Vltava river, some just sightseeing, some with dinner and music. old t...Read More ▶

Budapest

Budapest
We visited Budapest in the spring of 2023. It was still cool, needing a jacket, but little rain. We had a tour of Pest, and tour of Buda. The history we learned started way way back before the year 1000. Year 1000 with St. Martin was the "middle" of the story! We stood before the Hero's Sq...Read More ▶

Amazing Cruise for families!
Reviewed By FrauFlynn - Salt Lake City, UT | Traveled to Cozumel | Quintana Roo | Mexico
Royal Caribbean is the best cruise experience for families with older (teenage/high school) children. Always something going on. Never have to hear the words "I'm bored", which is rare for this generation. Didn't need her screen time the entire week! Shore excursions were unique, reasonably priced. Royal Caribbean is at the top of our list for future cruises. Galveston is easy to get in and out through Houston-Hobby. Jenn's recommendations were spot on. Even her coordination for BlackLane expedited our departure from the ship to the airport while numerous families were waiting around for Ubers. Jenn is a phenomenal coordinator and pays attention to the smallest of details and recognizes when there might be an issue, such as weather, and prepares us ahead of time so there are no surprises. We will continue to use Jenn for our future travels. Everything is so seamless with Jenn.

The Perfect 2024 Paris Olympics getaway!!!
Reviewed By Canada-Hale Team USA - Galveston | Traveled to Paris ~ France ~ Europe
Jennifer is responsive and goes above and beyond to help with travel arrangements. She is professional and proactively provides ideas for excursions, restaurants and other experiences to help make your trip memorable. Traveling to Europe in August can be a concern, especially when summer heat waves can strike and not all hotels in Europe are equipped. Jennifer made sure our hotel had real air conditioning! We've traveled with other folks who've booked us into hotels that say there is air conditioning only to find a box fan in our room and open windows.

winderful Christmas time Vacation
Reviewed By Happy Traveler - Baytown, TX | Traveled to Vienna ~ Austria ~ Europe
Jennifer is a very knowledgeable and patient travel consultant. Her service was invaluable in planning a 3 week multigenerational Christmas time vacation to Austria. From booking both air and rail reservation, to having someone meet us upon arrival and departure, securing tickets to requested events, and reservations at wonderful restaurants. she suggested just the right lodgings that met the needs of young children and elders. She arranged private tours of local attractions wherever we asked.

Our best family vacation yet!
Reviewed By LeaK16 - Houston, TX | Traveled to Mexico
Jennifer suggested that we hire a tourguide to take us from Mexico City to the butterfly reserves. We had never traveled with a custom tourguide before but she was absolutely right that it was the best choice for us to travel as a family. She helped find us the perfect tourguide too, who made our travels in Mexico easy and so much fun! We are grateful to Jennifer for her expertise and savvy selection of the perfect tourguide for what we wanted from the trip.

    Ambergris Caye, Belize
    Amazing! Yesterday (Mexico Rocks snorkeling tour) was indescribable! The perfect vibe for my family. The limit of 15 passengers to each tour means it is not crowded and everyone gets the right amount of attentions. Today we are just chilling. The hotel Alaia Marriott could not be more perfect. A pool, bar, beach and restaurant just steps from our room.

    Texas Winter Birding trip
    Hi Jennifer! We really did have a good time in South Texas recently. The hotel arrangements were excellent in my estimation! Obviously a rather new hotel. They did offer a complimentary breakfast even though it was not listed as an amenity. One of the things I enjoyed the most was a Nescafé coffee machine that was 24/7. It dispensed all sorts of coffee drinks and other hot beverages. And these were delicious! Sounds kind of “cheesy” but NOT! ??
