It is my pleasure to help you plan your next vacation. I love doing the research in finding just the right vacation spot, hotel, cruise or adventure you might be looking for. I take the extra step in also finding that great "bargain" we are all looking for.

I think growing up in a small town sparked my interest to see the world.  I've been in the travel industry for 18 years. During that time, I have been lucky enough to visit many wonderful places including Hawaii, Mexico, Caribbean, Canada, and many U.S. cities. I have taken many cruises, so if I haven't sailed on the ship I have probably inspected it. I love Hawaii and am a certified specialist. The beaches in Cancun/Riveria Maya and the Caribbean are wonderful. I hold certifications there and many other destinations from hours of study and familiarization trips. I like a bit of adventure so you will find me ziplining, hiking, kayaking or going down a waterslide. I love the beach but won't be sitting for long!  I also enjoy planning winter ski vacations since I enjoying skiing myself.

There are many more places on my list to visit and since I can't get there fast enough, I enjoy the research of planning your trip and listening to the details when you return. I have had the pleasure of doing cruise groups, honeymoons, destination weddings and many family vacations. Travel is about making memories and sharing those experiences with others. I hope I can assist you in making many memories.

Lake Pend'Orielle

August 17, 2010

I just had to put a plug in for the beautiful Lake Pend'Orelle (which isn't pronounced like it looks) which is located by Sandpoint, Idaho.  We rented a lake house actually on the river which also looks like a lake.  The pine trees surrounded the beautiful blue colored lake that made it very picturesque.  How fun to have boat activities during the day and sit out on the deck to enjoy the sunsets. We saw some wild life also including moose, bald eagles, deer, bats, and geese that...

Alaska air to Hawaii

November 02, 2009

I keep finding that Alaska airlines still has great prices to Maui.  I looked at dates in February which is always high season.  The rates were still very good at under $400.00.  With these great airfares, Maui can be a very affordable destination.  With the great schedule from Alaska, you can leave the cold in the morning and be on the warm beach in the afternoon.  Even if you don't have a full week to get away, with these flights you can go for 5 nights and still feel...

Waterfalls in Maui

October 28, 2009

When I travel to the Hawaiian Islands I always try to experience one new thing.  On my last visit to Maui in Sept we went on a waterfall hike. We debated about going on our own or going with a guide.  We chose to go with a guide.  That was the best decision.  We might have found a couple of the waterfalls but we would not have found all 5 waterfalls.  As we hiked through the lush green plants, she would point out different plants, pick fruit to eat and even found a...
