Tonight at Seattle’s airport, I will have a family of eleven returning from 10 days in Greece pass another one of my clients as they fly out to begin their 2 week trip to Greece. All of them living their travel dreams.

But it dawned on me as I texted final travel arrangements with them today that I am living the dream, as well. Helping lovely people visit lovely places as they make lifelong memories. It’s a special role I get to play, and one that I love. 🇬🇷

I will be out of the office February 25-March 3 to attend my agency’s annual Crystal Conference aboard Celebrity Cruise Line. The schedule is full of meetings and trainings, but I will have WiFi access. My response time this week could be up to 72 hours. Continuing education is such an important part of this industry, and it looks to be a great week of learning (…and of course some sunshine and fun)!
