Elaine has had the travel “bug” since her first trip abroad to England that included a visit to Stonehenge in the mid 1980s. She feels blessed to have worked on board cruise ships as a Port Lecturer, Internet Café Manager and most recently as a Future Cruise Consultant selling future cruises to current cruisers. Her insider experience from working on board ships for years is invaluable. Having tra
veled around the world, Elaine can assist you in designing what it is you want to do and see. She knows when and where your travels will best be enjoyed and how to get “the most bang for your buck!”
She enjoys creating personal relationships while offering the professional service that each person deserves. As your individual consultant Elaine looks forward to sharing the enthusiasm and excitement she has for travel directly with YOU. Elaine, with her “can do attitude,” loves knowing that she succeeds in making your dreams come true. Her vast experience enables her to anticipate and handle all the little things that make for a perfect travel experience. Her passion is to help people get excited about their own adventures, learn about the places they will visit and how to enjoy themselves to the fullest! Remember, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” And, although this is the popular form of this quotation, a more correct translation of Lao Tzu words would be "The journey of a thousand miles begins beneath one's feet." Rather than emphasizing the first step, Lau Tzu regarded action as something that arises naturally from stillness. So, be still no longer and let your natural desire to travel begin, because:
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Dream! Discover!” ~ Mark Twain
