Specialties & Accreditations

Alaska

Alaska is a favorite destination of my and I have been there at least eight times. I have photographed, backpacked hiked, camped and lodged throughout many parts of Alaska. It's always been fascinating (remind me to tell you about the time I met Bob Hope at the airport in Alaska.) Whether you need someone to escorted a group of 24 on a 10 day trip, with pampering every step of the way, or a trip that includes camping and fishing for a week, I can help you.

New Zealand

I was lucky enough to be one of 75 agents invited by the government of NZ to spend three weeks touring the country. The reason for the invite was so that I could experience it and come back and recommend it to my customers. Well, it worked!!! I have experienced first hand the North and South Islands. In addition, I have visited Steward Island, the Cook Islands, Tahiti and Fiji. The South Pacific, most especially New Zealand, is just a very special and magical place to visit. You will want to put this on your list of "must do's".

Cruise - All

Because of the customer service I provide, I have developed a big repeat clientele. And cruising is one of the things many of them love to do over and over again. My clients keep coming back to me because I'm careful to match the perfect cruise line and ports of call to fit their interests and style of travel. I'm an official Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and Crystal Cruise Specialist.

Disney

I'm a certified Disney Specialist with over 18 years experience in the travel industry. And customer satisfaction and providing top notch service come first with me. While planning trips I do my best to work out every last detail so the only surprises my customers have are pleasant ones. Disney is one of my favorite and fun destinations to send families, couples and singles. It's a great place to have a family reunion, because everyone will have a good time no matter what their age. My Disney trips include itineraries with dining reservations already confirmed. This is so my travelers can make the most of their time enjoying all that Disney has to offer without wasting time waiting on lines, or trying to get everyone to decide where to eat that evening.
