About Me

Star legend in Iceland
Star legend in Iceland

Travel has been my passion for as long as I can remember!  The world is a fascinating place and I never tire of exploring it myself and enabling others to expand their horizons and complete their bucket list adventures. In today's helter-skelter world rest, recreation and refreshment are critically necessary and there's no better way to gain a fresh perspective and renewed zest for life than travel.

I focus on cruising because it offers a satisfying blend of true downtime in a comfortable stress-free environment coupled with the opportunity to visit iconic ports of call around the globe.  Whether you want to soak up the sun on a Caribbean island beach, transit the Panama Canal, explore the marvels of ancient Greece and Rome or plumb the mysteries of Asia and Oceania cruises can take you there in safety, comfort and luxury.  If you have the time, a full around the world cruise has to be the ultimate experience! Cruising is my favorite way to relax where my toughest choice for the day is my dinner entree selection!  

I have a special passion for small ship cruising both on the ocean and rivers. These upscale vessels offer great comfort and service coupled with real destination immersion and great opportunities for making lasting friendships with like-minded travelers.

Hawaii holds a special place in my heart as the true American paradise. We've been going to Hawaii regularly for about 30 years and I look forward to every single trip like it was the first!  Kauai is my personal favorite but of course I've been to all the major islands. I love sharing experiences, favorite sites, favorite restaurants and more with our clients and look forward to seeing the renewed sparkle in their eyes when they return. I especially enjoy helping clients plan that first Hawaii experience that may lead to a lifetime of wonderful island journeys!
