My Escorted Tours

Costa Rica has to be one of the most picturesque places on this earth. The eco tourism is very important to the local people. They take pride in their country and the beauty it has to offer its visitors. I traveled from San Jose to Tortuguero to see the turtles migrate into the Caribbean Sea for the first time. Then from there we went to La Fortuna to see the Arenal Volcano, which I took in Rainforest hikes and the suspension bridges. Then it was onto Manuel Antonio , to this very lively and fun beach front town that offers just about everything you would want to do or see while in Costa Rica. For the last part of my stay, we traveled to the Puntarenas area to stay at the all inclusive resort directly on the beach. Costa Rica is definetely a worthwhile place to visit.

I travelled on the Irish Highlights tour with Trafalgar in March of 2011. It was one of the nicest and prettiest places I have travelled in a while. The people are so friendly and the scenery really is so beautiful and very green, even in March/April. The Trafalgar tour guide took care of us from start to finish and was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I would recommend a tour of Ireland to anyone. It really is a wonderful place to visit.

 I really enjoyed my travels to China with Tour East Holidays. In the 7 short days that we had, we saw and experienced more things than I could have hoped or dreamed of. From the Great Wall to the Terra Cotta warriers, to the Huntong ride in Beijing and the Harbor cruise in Shanghai. And who can forget about the Silk Market, as that was an excursion on its own. It was a trip of a lifetime for me and I am very grateful that I got the chance to experience such a wonderful and different culture from ours. It was amazing. I would highly recommend anyone thinking about doing China, to make sure you include enough time to take in all of the sights as well as some downtime for relaxation. It really is such a beautiful place to visit and experience.

This place has to be one of Canada's best kept secrets. It is one of the most beautiful, relaxed , and picturesque places that I, so far, have traveled. From the never ending beaches, to the hiking trails, windsurfing, kite surfing, fishing, and so much more. Even with French being the predominant language, there  is still no difficulty in communicating. The local people are very proud of their home and they are eager to show you it.

I just recently returned from New York City and I have to say it really is a city that never sleeps. I stayed at the Econo Lodge Times Square. It was a very small boutique hotel but had a great location. Just a short block away from almost everything that you really needed. The restaurants were fantastic, plenty of sights to see, and the shows were fabulous. I took my teenage daughters with me, and they really enjoyed everything, from the sightseeing to the shopping. It was a terrific destination to enjoy. 

I stayed at this hotel for 1 week in September, 2010. Really great hotel with a good location.

I went to Las Vegas in November and the weather was perfect. Nice and warm in the daytime and cool in the evening. The hotels on the strip are great and the shows are amazing. I really enjoyed experiencing the Freemont Street area. It was great to see the original Las Vegas from the Rat Pack days. It is really a city for everyone, not just gamblers.

When spending time in London, I did most of the tourist sights along with some plays. London has to be the most amazing city.

Touring Scotland was very interesting. It is a relaxing way of seeing some of the most prettiest scenery.

Doing the Tulip Time River cruise was wonderful. The Tulips were out in bloom and the smallest towns were just beautiful with all of the spring colors.

Doing the Christmas Markets River Cruise in December was the best experience. Spending a few nights in Prague and then cruising the Danube down to Budapest had to be the best vacation that I can remember. It was so peaceful and beautiful.

I spent a week at the Playa Caleta resort and I knew exactly what I was getting when I booked. A clean and enjoyable hotel with not a lot of the variety that a 5 star resort would offer but one that was in my price range. It was great. The area of the beach and the scenery from your balcony was breathtaking.  While in Cuba, I also toured the Barcela Marina Palace, Sirenis La Salina, Super Clubs Breezes Varadero, Melia Varadero and Barcela Solymar.

What else can I say.....Go Habbs......

I stayed at the Riu Bachata Resort and toured other resorts like the Riu Merengue, Riu Mambo,  Bahia Principe, San Juan, Breezes Puerta Plata and the Casa Marina Beach Resort.

During my time in Hawaii, I spent 3 nights in Maui and 4 nights in Honolulu. Hawaii was wonderful. Very beautiful and romantic.

We did an Easter Vacation on the Enchantment of the Seas. My children at the time were young teenagers. They had a terrific time. Lots of things for young children, teens and young adults to do. It was very enjoyable.

I did a bus tour of Italy and I can not imagine doing Italy in any other way. The history and the sights to see are just overwhelming and I do not think that you could possible get the most out of it unless you had some one else doing the driving and some one explaining the history along the way. Venice, Florence, Sienna and of course Rome...Amazing.....

I took my children back to Florida when they were 10 and 12. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Busch Gardens and then went to the Holiday Inn International Drive. This time we just wanted to do Busch Gardens, Universal Studios, the beach and shop.

I stayed at the Palladium Vallarta Resort and Spa. It is a little outside of Puerta Vallarta but extremely beautiful, peaceful and excellent property.

I stayed at Super Clubs Breezes and had a blast. The beach was beautiful and hotel was great. While there, I took the opportunity to go to Atlantis Paradise and tour the property. It was amazing.

Daytona Beach is wonderful. The area is full of life and has various activities that can be enjoyed by all ages.

While in Jamaica, I toured several properties including the FDR Resort, Sandals Ocho Rios, Sandals Dunn River, Starfish Trelawny, and Sunset Jamaica Grande.
