Even as a kid I have always had a passion for travel. Italy is one of my favorite destinations, from hiking the Cinque Terre trails to hunting black truffles, enjoying a gondola ride on a warm evening through Venice's winding canals to shopping in the quaint villages in Tuscany. There is so much to see and do! Europe has much to offer and I feel so fortunate to have been able to visit many times. My first visit was as a foreign exchange student in high school visiting Hungary, Germany, Greece, Austria, France, and Italy. I will continue to go back and enjoy all of the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of Europe.

I love to cruise and enjoy all the possibilities that await you. In the Caribbean, I always find a hammock on a white sand beach to lie in and watch the sun set over the horizon or swim in the crystal blue water then return to the ship where a fabulous meal awaits. My most recent cruise took me to the Greek Isles with visits that included Myokonos and Santorini where I got to experience the cobblestone streets, ancient villages and cobalt seas firsthand. I had a stop in Kusadasi to see Ephesus and was astonished by the ruins of this ancient site. A cruise that fits your expections will put you at ease, renew your spirit and engage your intellect. I have had the opportunity to see many ships and have earned my Elite Cruise Counselor certification and would be excited to help you plan your perfect cruise.

Hawaii has always been a vacation enjoyed by everyone. One of my favorite things to do is snorkel with the sea turtles. The water activities are incredible and the sunsets are worth the wait. If you are thinking of taking the family or going for a special occasion, Hawaii is a perfect vacation destination and you don't need a passport.

Learning about travel and talking to those who want to travel is what I like to do. Let me help you plan your next vacation.

Aboard the Celebrity Infinity

December 29, 2009

During June of this year, I had the privilege to sail on the fabulously appointed Infinity, one a Celebrity Cruises' finest ships and a member of their Millennium Class fleet. Known for being resplendent with glass and teak accents and sophisticated amenities, the Infinity is one of Celebrity's most traveled ships! Not to mention, they've upgraded the engine to environmentally responsible gas turbines to make sure that the waters and habitats remain as pristine as they were before you sailed...
