Looking for a warm weather getaway that does not require a passport? Consider the beautiful Captiva Island, Florida. Quiet, serene, relaxed…….it exudes old world charm yet plenty of activities if you want them (boating, tennis, beach, golf, fishing, etc). Perfect for everybody, a place I would certainly highly recommend! 😎🌴🌺🍹⛳️

The Turkeys. Claude Monet. Date: 1876; Style: Impressionism; Location: Musée d'Orsay, Paris, France.
How lucky I was to see this painting (by my favorite impressionist) in person while in Paris this summer. I remember thinking how beautiful, serene, peaceful and stunning these turkeys are, with the light capturing the rural landscape. A reminder to embrace those unexpected moments of joy and gratitude that are special and mean so much to you. Happy Thanksgiving to you all! 🦃

When you have known your clients for over 25 yrs, they basically become your “friends!”Whether it’s Christmas Markets in Europe, Trans-Atlantic Crossings or hiking the National Parks, these two always report back about their wonderful adventures with such enthusiasm! Lucky I have such “friends” and many others that make my “job” so enjoyable! “To Travel is to Live.” 🌎🙌🛳️ ✈️

It’s a busy time of year for fall travel! 🍁🍃🍂

Highlight Destination: London Town 🇬🇧💂‍♀️👑

A couple of my delightful clients just returned and allowed me to share a few of their fabulous pics! As you can see, they had the BEST TIME savoring the food, pubs and sights that London has to offer!! I have been to London many, many times myself, so I would be happy to plan a stay and itinerary suited for your needs and tastes. Or anywhere else, one destination at a time. 🌍

What a fabulous trip to France! 🇫🇷 Paris is always a good idea…….but so is any other summer destination of your choice! Just a few recommendations that I found particularly helpful during this busy travel season (or anytime).

1. Always have a driver waiting for you at your destination! Airports are crazy busy when you arrive, plus jet lag! Who knows if you can even get a taxi or maneuver public transportation? It is not overly expensive, and worth every cent in my estimation! Plus your driver will meet/greet with your name on a sign, give you a cold water, and lots of helpful and interesting info on the way to your hotel. So worth it, people……..and I can arrange it for you! 🚖

2. Location, location, location. Sure, you might be able to save a bit with a hotel on the outskirts, with less amenities, etc. However, how nice to be able to walk outside and have lots of shops, restaurants, and sites easily at your fingertips. Also a restaurant and/or roof/top bar is a pretty fun way to relax at the end of the day. I can give you many nice choices and prices that are going to be a great location for your destination! 🏨

3. Get your tickets ahead of time for popular museums, landmarks and tours! The line for such entries as The Louvre, Versailles, Eiffel Tower etc. were 3-5 hours minimum. Sometimes the tickets are limited and people are disappointed with no entry at all! We did all our tickets ahead on-line and walked right into every landmark with no wait or hassle. I can book these tickets for you to save both time and frustration, believe me! Also, I have so many wonderful restaurant suggestions which I can also arrange for you. 🗼🍷🍧

4. As always, please be aware of pick-pockets and scammers! This can happen anywhere, but of course are prevelent in major cities and crowded tourist attractions. Don’t let your guard down, and leave your valuables in the hotel safe. Just carry what you need for the day. We saw them everywhere in Paris (especially at Eiffel Tower, Sacre Coeur, Louvre etc). ☹️

5. Carry your patience with you! With careful planning and consideration of where you stay and what you do, you can have a wonderful travel experience! This is where I can be of valuable assistance. I have been to many destinations numerous times and would be happy to answer any of your travel questions.

Happy Summer Travels! 😎✈️ 🌎

My sister-in-law reminded me of this magnificent place. Especially beautiful in spring, but full of splendor in all seasons (I visited in fall) Giverny is certainly a must next time you are in France. 🇫🇷 🌼🌸🌻🌺🌷

We were parents who took our boys everywhere at a young age, until they started traveling on their own. Passports were a priority in our household. Now they have instilled in their young ones the desire and interest to travel. I know Covid has complicated things, but this is a cool guide of where you can go and what to do for each age group. Of course it is fun and adventurous to always think out of the box! A fact: at a certain point they want to travel with you again, and family/multigenerational trips have become a great experience!

You have 18 summers with your kids before they're too cool to travel with you. Here's how to make every year count.

Hello October!! 💛🍂🎃🍁🔥
Though our European River Cruise did not happen again this year, we are hoping the third time's the charm! Autumn is one of the most wonderful times of year to travel, whether you stay local or go abroad. A few less crowds, crisp weather, and did I mention the most beautiful scenery ever? Can't you just image strolling along the cobblestones and canals when golden leaves fill the trees of Amsterdam? Don't give up on travel!

We all remember where we were on 9/11 2001. The day our country was under attack. The feelings and images of horror and heroism etched in our minds forever. Today we remember & honor those we lost 20 years ago. Never Forget. 💔🇺🇸🙏

This is the summer of the !! The sheer size and overall breadth of our beautiful national parks make it nearly impossible to see and do everything, especially if you are on a tight schedule. It is easy to quickly become overwhelmed when trying to plan an itinerary. How long you spend depends upon many factors such as who is traveling, if there are kids, what are their ages, what are your specific interests, and how much time you actually have. Here is some great info on the most popular parks. I can help find the park and itinerary perfect for you! Happy summer of traveling! 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

You’re finally ready to pack up and hit your bucket-list National Parks, but how do you make the most of your time? Read on for action-packed itineraries designed with the help of park staff.

While the news of Europe's gradual reopening to American travelers is causing excitement, the lack of unity and clarity on the rules has translated into headaches for those who are anxious to start planning. One thing we do know so far is that the welcome mat is being extended most enthusiastically to vaccinated travelers, and that testing is still required in some countries even with proof of vaccination. A Covid test is still required of any traveler entering, or re-entering, the U.S .As the regulations are shifting, it bears repeating that everyone should stay abreast of the rules by visiting the CDC website. Please let me know if you have any questions as to what countries are open, or requirements regarding your future international travel plans! ✈️

Windsurf under full sail leaving Nice, France. One of the best trips we have ever taken. Small, luxury sailing yacht........isn’t she lovely? They will set sail later this summer once again. Would you be ready to see some of the beautiful places they go??

It’s ! I have been to many famous ones around the world such as The Hermitage, St. Petersburg, Russia, The Lourve, in Paris, Museo del Prado, Madrid and Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam just to name a few. Sometimes you just need to take a moment to enjoy the beauty that is right in front of your eyes. I want to know what your fave museum is??

My good friend and fellow traveler reminded me of this today. Prince Philip, who died last week at the age of 99, was born on the dining room table of the villa Mon Repos situated on the coast of the Greek island of Corfu. The villa’s French name means “my rest,” and was a place of rest for the Greek Royals in the past century. We had the pleasure of visiting this beautiful mansion and grounds on our last trip before the pandemic. See what you learn on your travels?? Can’t wait to get back out there and keep learning! Thanks Leah E Root ❤️ 🙌 🌍
