Italy Extravagant Escapes

Visiting Italy is a feast for your senses … from the scent of lemons in Capri, to the delicious flavors of the many pastas and sauces which is known for, to viewing the crumbling ruins of the Roman Empire. Did you know that Italy has the most UNES...

Asian Adventures

Asia is a fascinating area of the world that I think everyone should visit at least once in their life.  In my quest to learn as much as I can about the culture, food and religions throughout Asia, I have visited China and Thailand twice, Japan, Bhutan, Cambodia, Vietnam, Hong Kong and India.  I include India in this category because it borders Nepal, Bhutan, China and Myanmar. 


While I have enjoyed my visits to all these countries, India is the country I have loved the most.  From the moment you step out of the airport, you realize you are in a truly special place.  The colors, the smells, the sounds all hit you at once.  Then you see the monkeys running through the streets, you notice the loud honking of cars everywhere and you get your first glimpse of a beautiful Indian woman with intricate henna on her hands and arms.  You are told that she is a new bride, as she is wearing traditional wedding bangles on her arms.  The wedding bangles are made of different materials and different colors, depending on what area of India the bride is from.  What a lovely tradition. 


Let me help you create your own amazing memories in India or in any Asian country that interests you.

Magnificent 50th Anniversary family trip
Gwynne was very accommodating in planning a rather complex family trip for 14 people, 5 of whom live overseas. All of Gwynne's arrangements went off without a hitch.
We are totally satisfied and highly recommend Gwynne's services. We'll use her again.

The Trip of a Lifetime!!
Gwynne was recommended to me by a friend when they learned we planned on visiting Italy. We had many details such as meeting my daughter who was already in Italy, and having my son leave earlier than the rest of us, and also having a large number of people making different payments and also needing various different requirements while traveling...a bit overwhelming for me to plan since I had never been to Europe before!! Gwynne was invaluable to the process of planning our trip!! She provided everything we needed even before I knew it was needed...She recommended beautiful hotels and priceless experiences. We visited Florence, Rome and Paris, and Gwynne provided us with private tours with lovely, knowledgeable tour guides. She arranged a cooking class and food tastings, gave us lists of restaurants in different price ranges with all of their contact information. Everywhere we went we had transfers to and from our hotels, airports, train stations and tours! Best experience ever!

The easiest planned vacation ever!
Gwynne was amazing. From day one she answered every question I had. She was able to get me a deal that I couldn't come close to getting with any online site. She is truly wonderful at her job. When I was concerned about a flight due to a hurricane coming in, she promptly changed my flight and sent me the updated itinerary. Thank you again Gwynne.

Our Travel Agent for many years
Gwynne has been our travel agent for many years. She is a delight to work with, is attentive, thorough, and proactive. Our most recent trip was to France. She arranged air, hotel, train tickets including detailed guidance on verifying tickets prior to boarding, and a map. She has always made whatever travel arrangements we needed even if she was under a deadline for other responsibilities. If she is away, she provides a backup plan "just in case." All details are efficiently handled well in advance of the start of any trip. Several times over the years, when some misadventure befell our flight plans, she rescued us by re-booking for us so we could journey on. It's just so nice to know, whatever travel arrangements I might need, Gwynne will handle it.

Fantastic Family Trip to Switzerland
Having known Gwynne for many years, when our entire family of 15 wanted to plan a trip to Switzerland she was the only call we made. She offered great advice from the very beginning as we were planning our itinerary, selecting cities and fine tuning the details. She was quick to reply to any questions or concerns we had through the entire process. You could feel she wanted to make sure we had the best travel experience possible - and we did. Thank you Gwynne!
