Travel History

Puerto Vallarta - 2018

We chose to stay at the SECRETS VALLARTA BAY because it was centrally located allowing up to venture out and explore the town of Puerto Vallarta. Secrets resort is an excellent ADULT ONLY Resort, the rooms were very comfortable the staff was friendly and the Restaurants were excellent. I enjoyed relaxing in the lobby bar in the evenings listening to live entertainment. If you've never been to Puerto Vallarta do take the time to explore the area and book yourself on a few excursions. We decided to take the full day tour to San Sabastian which is a historical town nestled in the mountains. We learned about the history of Puerto Vallarta and Mexico, the tour included tequila tasting and visit to a coffee farm and an authentic Mexican Lunch. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is looking for more than a week on the beach. There are many tours to choose from including ATV tours in the hills, zip lining, fishing and much more.

Uniworld River Cruise - 2014

What a wonderful way to travel through Northern Italy. I absolutely loved my River Cruise which started and ended in Venice Italy. Our ship was docked 5 minutes away from St. Marks square when in Venice so we could get on and off the ship as we pleased and explore on our own. The itinerary took us to Verona, Bologna, Ravenna, and Padova - shore excursions were included daily. Uniworld arranged to have a private viewing of St Marks Basilica for their guests only so we were able to enjoy this most magnificent church with only 80 guests, no crowds or line ups. The food was excellent, the staff were very friendly and the ship was lovely. The rooms were small but cozy and comfortable. Click Here for video of my trip

Australia - Sydney * Melbourne & Cairns - 1998

Sydney is a beautiful City, we spent 3 days exploring THE ROCKS area, the harbor and KOALA PARK. The Intercontinental Sydney is conveniently located right on the harbor walking distance to the Opera House. We then spent another 3 Nights on a Great Barrier Reef cruise which I highly recommend if you like to snorkel and explore the Islands followed by another 2 nights at the Intercontinental Cairns. We took the Kuranda Scenic Railway to the township of Kuranda and then came back down to Cairns on the Skyrail over the rainforest, absolutely beautiful and many photo opportunities. While in Cairns visit TJAPUKAI aboriginal cultural center where you can experience unique cultural performances, dance, food and arts. Intercontinental Sydney & Cairns Both properties were in great locations and offered a wonderful Buffet Breakfast

7 Day Greek Island Cruise and stay in Athens - 1997

When I sold this exact same package to my clients I always explained that they should not compare this cruise to their usual cruises and think of it more as a mode of transportation between Islands. The ships are basic and we really never spent much time on the ship. We boarded our ship in Athens and enjoyed a wonderful lunch onboard. After a few hours onboard we docked at Mykonos and had plenty of time to explore the Island. The following morning we woke up in Kusadasi Turkey and took an excursion to Ephesus, this was the highlight of the entire trip. There was enough time to shop for Turkish Rugs, explore the little town and have lunch before boarding the ship to Patmos. There really was not much to see or do in Patmos, I would have preferred a full day in Kusadai instead. The following morning we woke up in Rhodes and had a full day to explore the island. The next day we had half a day in Crete and then spent the afternoon on the island of Santorini just in time to watch the beautiful Sunset. I must stress that the Ship and the staterooms were very basic however the staff were wonderful, the food was excellent and the staff entertained us every night with Greek dancing and music. We ended our trip with a 3 night stay in Athens exploring the Plaka, Parthenon and a day trip to Delphi.

Celebrity Eastern Caribbean Cruise - 1994

This was our first cruise experience and I was not sure if my husband would enjoy cruising. The Ship was beautiful, the food was wonderful and the service was amazing. We were both hooked on cruises after this experience.
