Aruba

Let me say it loud and proud - I love this place! To prove it, I've gotten my ACE Aruba certification from the island's tourism board, giving me the official go-ahead to recommend some of the best local restaurants, attractions, snorkeling options, shopping and nightlife. Having been to the island myself, I like to recommend hotels I've seen first-hand - and between visits, I keep my email flooded with updates and renovations so that none of my clients encounter any unwelcome surprises when they arrive. Contact me today, and let me share my passion for an island where the sun never ceases to shine.

Bahamas Islands

I began my career in travel counseling over two decades ago and I still love what I do every day. I send people to the Bahamas, so what's not to love? Even better, I get to take folks behind the curtains of the Bahamas they see in the brochures - from all-inclusive resorts to the public bus line system, I'll show you every angle of this wonderful group of islands. I have even cruised the area on a ship , if that's the route you'd like to take. Back here in the States, I keep current by reading the Bahamian Tourist Board website and newsletters; keep close contact with hotel contacts; and receive a constant stream of updates and deals on upscale resorts. Drop me a line today and let me share my expertise to help create your unique Bahamian escape.
