Australia

I have been to Australia many times during my 22 years in the travel industry. On each visit I explore new areas and add to my knowledge of this vast and wonderful country, and believe me, when considering a trip to Australia, you're going to find a continent's worth of sights to see and things to do. Probably on your list of "must do's" are Ayers Rock and the Great Barrier Reef, the beautiful city of Sydney and Kangaroo Island, the wine country of the Barossa Valley and the wild flowers of the Avon Valley. You may also have thought about going to Queensland, home of the Great Barrier Reef, or enjoying Tasmania's dramatic mountains, dense forests and pristine beaches. Australia offers something---no dozens of things---for everyone. Do call me, for we'll have a lot to talk about in planning your ideal Australian vacation.

Cruise - River

River Cruising is a wonderful way to experience the beauty and culture of a particular region of the world while sleeping in the same bed each night!! In bygone days the rivers were the roads of the Country, so you usually dock in the heart of a city, just where you want to be. Most River Cruises include excursions to the "must see" sites, but also give you time to enjoy the local markets, culture and history of the area. Fine wines, delicious meals and smooth sailing make for a wonderful adventure. It would be my pleasure to help you choose the right ship and the best itinerary for your next cruise holiday!
