1/14/2019

0 Comments

 
January's Client of the Month is a good friend of mine, Keira R.  Keira is an educator, a wife, a mom, and runs the blog, Bad As A Mother.  When you are that busy, you have to make sure that the vacations you take are well-planned and to amazing places.  Keira's trip to Ireland ticked both of those boxes.

Ireland happens to be a favorite place of mine.  With it's beautiful countryside, ancient castles, friendly people, and Guinness and Jameson, it's got something for everyone!  Here are some of the highlights of Keira's trip.

Overview of Ireland

10/24/2018

0 Comments

 
Ireland, often called the Emerald Isle, is one of my favorite destinations. With only a six hour flight from the east coast, traveling to Ireland is much easier than you think. With its beautiful landscapes and rich history, it isn’t surprising that Ireland is a destination with something for everyone.

Clients of the Month - Bill and Marilyn

10/24/2018

October's Clients of the Month are Bill and Marilyn.  They are both small business owners - Bill in finance and Marilyn in publishing. They are well-traveled and working their way through their bucket lists.  They have not only booked trips with me for their personal vacations, but they have also traveled with me on my hosted trip to the Galapagos and will be joining my group in Egypt in a few days.  They are a perfect example of the type of people that I love to travel with - they are fun and funny, are easy-going, and have an adventurous spirit!

Why You Should Visit Cape Town

Cape Town City View □Cape Town Tourism
Going on an African Safari is something that many people dream of, and for good reason.  You have the opportunity to get up and personal with lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards and cape buffalo (otherwise known as “The Big Five”) in their natural habitats.  Who can resist that?

If you are going on a South African safari, then Cape Town is a great place to start your trip. Not only is it easier to get over your jet lag there, versus jumping right into early morning safari game drives, but it’s a beautiful city with lots to see and do.

Jet Lag - Your Biggest Travel Problem

10/2/2018

1 Comment

 
Anyone who has traveled across time zones knows the foggy, headachy, dragging feeling of jet lag. It’s awful, and it can interfere with productivity and enjoyment on any trip. Especially if you have a somewhat limited time — say, a week in London — jet lag can cut into the fun of half your trip.  Extra especially if you are one of the people that it affects more than others - just ask my boyfriend!

The Adventure Mindset And How It Can Change Everything

9/18/2018

Nobody loves standing in long security lines, and I don’t know one person who is thrilled by the fact that most airline seats only recline about four inches, if you’re lucky.
 
But I do know people who love to travel, door to door — not just when they arrive at their resort. I know people who almost always have a great flight, no matter what. I’ve talked to people whose trips got rained out, or who missed connecting flights, or who got lost, or who even had passports stolen — and when I ask them how their trip was, they smile and say, “It was great!” and proceed to tell me the full exciting tale.
