Its construction, which began in 1882, will finally be completed in 2034!

And their off!! My clients (who also happen to be my in-laws) are arriving in Europe today for a 3 week European vacation.

First stop is Paris, where they have some amazing excursions set up such as a food tour in Montmartre, museum and palace sightseeing, catching an opera, a Siene River dinner cruise, and a day trip to Giverny to tour Monet's house.

Next stop...London Calling! Here they will be seeing both Phantom of the Opera and Les Misérables, which happen to be 2 of my favorite Broadway musicals. Enjoying a Thames River dinner cruise, exploring museums, iconic landmarks such a Stonehenge, and even experiencing an evening ghost tour (No thank you!)

Time to set sail! They will be boarding their cruise ship for a 12-night British Isle sailing. This amazing itinerary will take them to Cork, Dublin, Belfast, Holyhead, Glasgow, Orkney Islands, Edinburgh (Where my father in-law will get to live out his dream of playng golf in St. Andrews), Paris, and back to London.

Really, It's ok, I'm not jealous at all. Thank you Susan Sprayberry, Shirley Sprayberry, and David Sprayberry for letting me assist with another fabulous vacation!

Today’s sessions at Cruise 360 were all about small ship cruising! More and more of my clients are requesting smaller ships for their cruise vacation.

Here are a few reasons why:
*No crowds! Most ships hold from 100-800 people. Some ships even hold less than 100!
*Personalized service. Many small ships have a butler for each room.
*Locally sourced, fine cuisine made to order. No mass produced food or buffets.
*Immersive experiences: Local tour guides for each port.
*Included port excursions! No need to pay extra for a port experience.
*Everything is truly included. No additional fees for alcohol, specialty dining, or gratuities.
*Small ships can get into smaller lesser known ports that big ships cannot access. Which leads to…less crowds.
*Overnight stays in port!
*Luxury, need I say more🥂

I would love to match you to a ship that fits your wants and needs!

Tortola, in the British Virgin Islands, is a sailor's paradise. What better way to explore this tropical island than by hiring a sailing boat, either crewed or bareboat, and setting sail?

Interested in chartering a boat? I can help! You can choose your route, anchor in secluded coves, or just lie on deck and watch the sunset over the ocean.

In Crete, twilight is a daily experience not to be missed. It's called the "blue hour" because of the bluish hue that fills your gaze wherever you turn.

Enjoy the phenomenon to the fullest from a friendly taverna in the marina or while taking a leisurely stroll!

One of my favorite meals I’ve had is by the marina in Crete at a tiny casual open air restaurant. The food was fantastic!!
