Happy New Year Linda, We enjoyed our Jamaican Holiday. Thank you for arranging our accommodations and for our generous fruit basket and Appleton Rum. Rob and Keith played volleyball from 10am until 6pm daily, while I finished three books and worked on my tan. I successfully swam the bay in the morning and afternoon; and in between I challenged myself with either a peaceful kayak float or tough workout, paddling into the wind. Boy, did I receive an upper body work out. It was definately beneficial to have the wheel chair escort at the airport. I would have been a basket [View Full Entry]

This is a letter we received from one of clients who had a wonderful time on their family Alaskan Cruise. Hi Linda, I just wanted to give you a review of our Alaskan cruise. We had such a great time, and a lot of that I think was due to the amazing weather we had the whole trip. The only day it rained was in Ketchikan, about an hour before we had to be back on the ship- so the excursion was fine. Also, it was very cold and drizzly at the Hubbard glacier. Otherwise, we had tons of sunshine. Each [View Full Entry]

Q: WHY USE A TRAVEL AGENT? A: While the consumer of today feels empowered to do everything by themselves, when making plans for traveling abroad, this attitude can be the cause of a bad experience. A travel agent can share years of experience that can make of your vacation something to talk about, rather than regrets; and for the same price, or sometimes for a bit less. Q: WHAT IF I CONTACT SITES LIKE EXPEDIA OR ORBITZ OR ?? A: Mass produced canned soup tastes okay, but it will never replace the taste of soup made fresh and with great ingredients. [View Full Entry]
