Kay feels that a
family's most precious resource is the time they spend together and she will work
closely with you to design an adventure that will connect the members of the
family to one another and to the destination. High-end destination resorts,
beach properties or cruises are ideal options for multi-generational families
and groups. There are vacations where everyone just wants to hang

out at the beach. However, many of today's parents are looking for ways to combine fun and
enrichment in a family travel adventure. Kay can propose a range of programs,
itineraries and prices to define your ultimate family adventure. Itineraries range
from safaris in Africa to sailing the Mediterranean, estancias in Argentina to lodges
in Bhutan. Many destinations lend themselves to specific activities such as biking,
hiking, rafting, and climbing. They can also have cultural experiences such as
chocolate tastings, cooking schools, kite making and elephant polo. Kay was bitten by wanderlust at an early age and has traveled extensively
all over the world. She has a particular passion for Africa and has been many
times; visiting almost every country on the Continent. Her frequent trips to
South America have given her first hand knowledge of all its countries. She is especially fond of South East Asia and enjoys the many cultural experiences
offered there. Due to Kay's travels over the years, and her contacts all over the world, she
can often provide special services, amenities, and even confirm space or upgrades
when they may not appear available online. Through these contacts, as well as
Virtuoso and similar affiliations, Kay has associates throughout the world and a
network of connections at most hotels and destinations to help with clients'
requests. So whether you choose a safari, active adventure, cultural travel, resort
destinations or cruising, Kay will ensure the right fit for your family to suit a
variety of ages, interests and physical ability levels. You will come home
with a renewed enthusiasm for and an appreciation of the destination,
its people, and their culture.
