I have been on 14 cruises, including Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico, Norway and the Panama Canal, as well as 2 River Cruises on the Nile and Yangtze Rivers. I have walked on the Great Wall of China, snorkeled the Great Barrier Reef and saw the Pope in St. Peters Basilica. And yet I still have a lot of items to check off my travel bucket list. If you want help crossing items off your bucket list, give me a call!
