Alaska Canada Caribbean Europe Germany Hawaii Hong Kong New England South America Spain

I love to travel and have been pursuing my passion for over 31 years. For 26 of these I have been an employee owner with CI Travel during which I held the title of manager of a branch location for 20 years. I have been awarded the designation of Certified Travel Counselor, the official national recognition of proficiency as a Travel Consultant and have also received exceptional recognition for my knowledge of cruising. I have a vast knowledge of the added value cruise excursions bring to any cruise. I have enjoyed cruises to a wide variety of ports including Alaska, Hawaii, the Panama Canal, the Galapagos Islands, the eastern and western Caribbean, New England, Canada, Bermuda, Baltic, Scandinavia, Russia, and the Mediterranean.

Throughout my travels, I have gotten to do some pretty exceptional things. One of the more rare treats occurred when I visited Alaska and had the thrill of watching the Iditarod race which covers over 1,150 miles of the most extreme and beautiful terrain known to man. It’s unlike any other event in the world! I was able to actually take a dog sled ride. In Alaska I took a flight in a helicopter that landed on a glacier and on another flight, while in Hawaii, I landed on a canyon. I have also taken a flight on a sea plane which was a very different experience.

I have journeyed through Europe many times, especially Britain, Italy, Ireland and Scotland and I especially enjoy helping my clients plan itineraries to those destinations. In addition, my trips to Hong Kong, Germany, Spain, Belgium and South America were fantastic and I have recommended trips to those countries for many clients looking for a unique and memorable vacation.
