When I go on vacation, I like to make sure that all details are taken care of (flights, hotels, transfers, sightseeing) yet also want to have some free time to explore whatever I might be interested in doing that day. I know most of my clients also want all details taken care of in advance so they can put their brain in “vacation mode”. My specialties are family travel, couples getaways, and all-inclusive resorts and escorted tours. Whether you are looking at a vacation for 1 person or 100, I can help plan a memorable getaway that you’ll remember with fondness for many years to come.
I have seen many fascinating areas of the world......Fiji, the Caribbean, Mexico, China, and Europe. One of my more recent trips was to Costa Rica. My husband and I stayed at two different resorts, and boy were they different from each other. I've also been able to sail with several cruise lines in the Caribbean and Europe, including a river cruise.
I’d love to share my experiences and knowledge with you about all these wonderful destinations. I've been in the travel industry since 1984 and am a Travel Leaders Certified Travel Specialist. I enjoy exploring new areas and will take care of all your travel details to make sure you have a well planned, worry free vacation.

Would you like to speed up your process going through TSA?
Here are some suggestions to make your next trip to the airport a smoother experience…
TSA Precheck
For $85 (valid for 5 years) you can apply for expedited screening at participating airports. This means no removal of shoes, no 3-1-1 liquids removed from your carry on, laptops can stay in your bag, no belt removal, and also no light jacket removal. In October 2018, 93% of TSA Prechecked passengers waited less than 5 minutes to go through security. This is valid only for domestic travel.
Global Entry
For $100 (valid for 5 years) you can apply for expedited processing through participating airports and land boarders. This is valid for both domestic and international travel.
CLEAR
For $179 (valid for 1 year, however you may qualify for a discount if you are a Delta Sky Miles member) you can get Clear. This program, the best way for me to describe it is you get to go to the front of the line, whichever line you qualify for. You can have just Clear, Clear combined with TSA Precheck, Clear combined with Global Entry. Clear also has an extra perk by going through security lines at participating train stations, ball games, etc.
Mobile Passport
This is a free service for anyone with a Smart Phone. Download the app, answer a few questions, and your expedited process going through customs at participating U.S. airports will begin.
I hope this helps you make your travel experience even more pleasant.
