About Me
Victoria
Victoria, on beautiful Vancouver Island, British Columbia, is one of my favorite destinations and a place I have enjoyed visiting many times. Getting there is easy by ferry, seaplane, or boat, making it a wonderful getaway from the Pacific Northwest.Victoria is a charming, walkable city filled with beautiful hotels, welcoming pubs, unique shops, gardens, and waterfront views. No visit is complete without experiencing Afternoon Tea at the iconic Empress Hotel, a true Victoria tradition.One of my favorite ways to explore the city is by taking a Harbour Ferry water taxi through the Inner Harbour. It's a fun and relaxing way to see Victoria from the water. Whale watching tours are another unforgettable experience, where you may see orcas, humpback whales, seals, sea lions, bald eagles, and other incredible wildlife in the waters between Vancouver Island and Washington State.Whether you're visiting for a few days or an extended vacation, Victoria offers something for everyone. With so much to see and do, you'll find yourself wanting to return again and again—just as I have. I would be delighted to help you plan the perfect Victoria getaway based on your interests and travel style.

Eastern Caribbean Cruise
Reviewed By Katherine Sanborn - Sumner, WA | Traveled to Caribbean
Our Eastern Caribbean cruise, roundtrip from Miami, was everything we hoped it would be and more! Upon arriving in Miami, we took the complimentary hotel shuttle to our hotel, which was conveniently located near the cruise port, making embarkation the next morning quick and easy.
Our travel advisor, Tracy, recommended this itinerary because we wanted a relaxing beach vacation with easy, walkable ports, and it was the perfect choice. The Caribbean Sea was incredibly calm, making for a smooth and enjoyable first Caribbean cruise.
Each port had its own unique charm. We loved exploring San Juan, Puerto Rico, as well as Nassau, St. Thomas, and St. Maarten. Every island offered something different, from beautiful beaches to colorful streets and friendly locals.
This was the perfect introduction to the Caribbean, and we can't wait to return to explore even more of this beautiful region. We will definitely use Tracy again for our next adventure!

Mexican Riviera Cruise
Reviewed By Guy Jergens - Auburn, WA | Traveled to Mexico | Mexico
We were looking for a fun, relaxing vacation, and our travel advisor, Tracy, suggested a Mexican Riviera cruise roundtrip from San Diego. It was the perfect choice! San Diego was an ideal departure port, just a short drive from the airport, making embarkation quick and easy.
We had a wonderful week onboard, enjoying the ship, beautiful weather, and the relaxing atmosphere. Tracy also helped us choose excursions that matched exactly what we wanted. Some days we explored the ports, while other days we simply got off the ship, found a beautiful beach, and relaxed. It was the perfect balance of sightseeing and downtime.
When our cruise ended, Tracy had a private car waiting to take us back to the airport, making our trip home completely stress-free. From start to finish, everything was planned perfectly, and we wouldn't hesitate to have Tracy plan our next vacation!

Mediterranean Cruise
Reviewed By Mary Rollins - Auburn, WA | Traveled to Mediterranean | At Sea | At Sea
We had all been to Rome before, so before our Mediterranean cruise from Rome to Venice, we decided to stay at a hotel near the port rather than in the city. Our travel advisor, Tracy, recommended this option, and it made embarkation day incredibly easy. We were able to walk from the hotel to the ship the next morning, even with our suitcases.
Tracy also helped us choose the perfect itinerary. We wanted to visit several Greek islands that were new to us and preferred a smaller ship. The ship carried only 600 passengers, which made it easy to navigate, and there were virtually no waits to embark or disembark at the ports.
We loved both the ship and every destination we visited. Tracy's recommendations and planning made the entire trip smooth and stress-free. We will definitely be using her again for our next cruise!

Paris- A Dream Holiday
Reviewed By Pat Morris - Visalia, CA | Traveled to Paris | France | Europe
Our hotel was in a fantastic location, just a short walk from the Eiffel Tower, with a Metro station, taxi stand, and wonderful cafés nearby. Tracy, our travel advisor, planned every detail of our Paris vacation, including several unforgettable day trips outside the city.
Before we arrived, Tracy arranged timed entry to the Louvre and other major attractions, and recommended purchasing the Museum Pass and Paris Visite transportation pass. That advice made exploring Paris incredibly easy. She also took the time to explain how the Metro system worked before we left, so we felt confident navigating the city on our own from day one.
Every transfer and excursion was seamlessly planned, including memorable visits to the Loire Valley, Chartres, and Giverny, where we toured Monet's beautiful home and gardens. Tracy first made sure these were the places we truly wanted to experience, then created an itinerary that perfectly matched our interests.
Because everything was so well organized, we were able to relax and simply enjoy the beauty, history, art, and charm of Paris. This trip truly fulfilled a lifelong dream, and thanks to Tracy's planning, we now know we can confidently return to Paris anytime and explore even more of this amazing city. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

London- Pre Cruise Stay
Reviewed By Sally Johnson - Puyallup, WA | Traveled to London | England | Europe
Our travel advisor, Tracy, took the time to learn exactly what we wanted to do during our stay in London before our UK cruise. She pre-booked our museum visits, attractions, and special dinner reservations, making everything seamless and stress-free. She also provided us with a map of London and a Tube map so we could get oriented before we left.
One of the best things Tracy did was explain how London's transportation system worked before we arrived. Because of her advice, we felt completely comfortable using the Tube from the very beginning, which made getting around the city easy and enjoyable. We now feel confident that we could return to London and explore just about anywhere on our own.
We absolutely loved London! Our hotel was in a wonderful location, the Tube was easy to use, and one of our favorite memories was simply walking through Hyde Park, just as Tracy suggested. It gave us a chance to slow down and soak in the beauty and atmosphere of this amazing city. Tracy's planning and advice made our visit even more enjoyable, and we can't wait to return!

United KingdomCruise
Reviewed By Sally Johnson - Puyallup, WA | Traveled to United Kingdom | Europe
Our United Kingdom cruise was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. Before we left, Tracy advised us to pack layers since our cruise would sail from Southampton north to Scotland and then return to Southern England. Her advice was spot on!
Tracy arranged everything for us, including our pre-cruise stay in London with a great hotel, excursions, transfers to Southampton, and transportation back to Heathrow Airport on departure day, making the entire journey completely stress-free. It was especially enjoyable to sail with so many English guests, which made the experience feel even more authentic.
This two-week cruise was relaxing, well planned, and exceeded our expectations. Thanks to Tracy's attention to every detail, all we had to do was enjoy ourselves. We look forward to booking another cruise with her in the future.

South Pacific Cruise
Reviewed By Judy Covington - Auburn, WA | Traveled to South Pacific
Tracy recommended this small ship cruise through the South Pacific, and it truly was the trip of a lifetime! As a solo traveler, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I felt completely comfortable from the moment I boarded. The small ship created a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and the attentive staff made me feel like part of a family.
The islands were absolutely breathtaking, with crystal-clear lagoons, lush mountains, and beautiful beaches around every corner. The food was outstanding, and my cabin was spacious, comfortable, and beautifully appointed.
I injured my ankle at the very beginning of the cruise and was worried it would ruin my vacation. Instead, the crew went above and beyond to care for me with such kindness and attention that it hardly affected my enjoyment of the trip. Their compassion and outstanding service made an already incredible experience even more memorable.
After such a wonderful experience on my first cruise with Tracy, I didn't hesitate to have her plan this South Pacific adventure—and once again, she delivered an unforgettable vacation. Everything was handled perfectly from start to finish, allowing me to simply relax and enjoy every moment.
I would highly recommend Tracy to anyone planning a South Pacific vacation, especially solo travelers looking for a knowledgeable travel advisor who truly understands how to match her clients with the perfect travel experience.

Rhine River Cruise
Reviewed By Judy Covington - Auburn, WA | Traveled to Rhine River | On the River | At Sea
My Rhine River cruise from Amsterdam to Basel was an amazing experience and my very first river cruise. Everything onboard was extremely well organized, making the trip relaxing and enjoyable from start to finish.
As a solo traveler, I felt completely comfortable throughout the journey. My travel advisor, Tracy, took the time to explain what to expect before I left, which gave me confidence and peace of mind. Embarkation and disembarkation were both quick and easy, and Tracy also arranged my airport transfer at the end of the cruise, along with a shuttle from my home airport, making the entire trip seamless.
Overall, it was a wonderful, stress-free vacation, and I wouldn't hesitate to book another trip with Tracy.

Our travel agent planned our very first Mediterranean cruise, sailing from Venice to Barcelona, and it was absolutely amazing! She helped us select the perfect shore excursions so we could make the most of every port, and she also arranged a wonderful hotel in Barcelona. Everything was seamless, and we had a fabulous time from beginning to end. We completely fell in love with Venice and can't wait to return and spend more time there. This trip exceeded all of our expectations, and we'll definitely use her again for our next adventure!

Greek Island Cruise
Reviewed By Alex Hamilton - Bellevue, WA | Traveled to Greece | Europe
Our Greek Island cruise from Athens to Rome was an unforgettable experience! Tracy planned three wonderful days for us in Athens before the cruise and three more days in Rome afterward, making the entire trip feel like one seamless vacation.
The small ship, with only 600 passengers, was fantastic. The friendly staff, uncrowded atmosphere, and easy boarding and disembarking at each port made exploring the beautiful Greek islands so enjoyable.
Tracy selected excellent hotels and arranged memorable excursions and activities in both Athens and Rome. Everything was perfectly organized, and there's no way we could have planned a trip like this on our own. We truly appreciated her attention to every detail and will definitely use Tracy again for our future travels!
