Once again I was this past week’s top salesperson! Thanks for keeping me busy! Keep it coming!! I’m on pace to break a personal record for sales in a year. The last 5 weeks have been amazing. Here’s a visual of all the vacations I’ve planned in that small window of time. Mad props to anyone that can name all the destinations! I want to close out the year strong, so where can I send you?!?!

Like the great Meatloaf once said (I’m actually not a Meatloaf fan), Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad!! I’ve been the top seller 2 out of the last 3 weeks, thanks to you! I have a chance of having a record month, so where can I send you?!?!

Well, you guys are keeping me busy and I appreciate it!!! Let’s keep it going! Where can I send you?

If an African Safari is on your bucket list, then you really need to read this! Back in 2023 I was blessed with the opportunity to experience an African Safari with Oltumure Tours, a local to Tanzania tour operator. I’ve obviously done a lot of traveling. This safari was one of the most magical experiences I’ve ever had. So many times during this adventure, I was questioning whether or not it was real. What I saw was things like you’d see in a movie or a National Geographic documentary.

Now I get to share this experience with YOU!! To most, Africa is an intimidating destination. It’s so far away and the logistics are very tough to work through. Well, myself and Oltumure Tours are taking care of everything (except the distance part. It’s still pretty far away). Once you land in Kilimanjaro, you’ll be picked up and taken to your first hotel. From there, all transportation, lodging, meals and daily safaris are included. After our journey is over, you’ll be brought back to the airport and you’ll be on your way home.

Below is a brief summary of our 6/28-7/6 adventure. Please do not hesitate to ask questions. This is a bucket list trip!

6/28-6/29-Gran Melia Arusha. Meet and greet at the airport with transportation to the hotel. Dinner is included with no activities this day. We need you to rest up for the days ahead.

6/29-6/30-Tarangire Safari Lodge. After the included breakfast, we head to Tarangire. National Park, known for its boabab trees, Masai giraffes, lions and it’s also known as the Garden of Elephants. A picnic lunch is included and so is dinner at the lodge.

6/30-7/3-Into Wild Africa Luxury Tented Safari Camp. This is “glamping” at its finest! This magical property is located INSIDE Serengeti National Park! You will be in your own furnished tent, with electricity and private bathroom. It’s pretty much a canvas cabin. Words cannot describe how awesome this place is and obviously it’s location. During this leg of the trip, we will explore the Serengeti and seek out the “Big Five”, elephants, buffalos, rhinos, lions and leopards. I promise you this, seeing these animals in the wild is a totally different experience than seeing them at the zoo! All meals are included.

7/3-7/5-Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge. Early early in the morning on the 3rd, we have our only optional excursion that’s not included in the package. That happens to be a sunrise hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti. This is an absolutely must do experience! It feels like you’re floating on a cloud. Now I’ve never actually floated on a cloud before, but I have a feeling this excursion is what it feels like. After being in the air for about 45 minutes or so, the balloon will land in the Serengeti and they will have an outdoor English breakfast waiting for us. For those not doing the hot air balloon, there will be a sunrise game drive inside the Serengeti. After that, we make our way to the Ngorongoro Crater. This leg of the trip will include a safari inside the crater in one of our private safari vehicles and one day we get to do a walking safari!! I’m excited about that!

7/5-7/6-Arusha Serena Hotel Resort and Spa. After the safari in the morning, we head back to Arusha for one more overnight before our adventure comes to an end. Transportation will be provided from the resort to the airport on the 6th.

So how much does this cost? $4,200 per person based on double occupancy. This includes all ground transportation (I have 4 safari vehicles lined up for our group only), lodging, meals and our own private guides.

What’s not included-Flights, gratuities, hot air balloon ($550/person) and adult beverages. You do have the option of adding a pre-night stay at the Gran Melia on 6/27 for $250/person. That does include the cost of airport transportation. I’ve compared a comparable itinerary with a big box tour company and theirs was coming in at just under $10,000/person. Because I’m working with a local to Tanzania company, the savings is HUGE!! If you have any questions (and you will), reach out to me anytime!! 1(508)326-8423

Here I go! Don’t worry. The Crocs are safely packed away!

21/08/2024

Closed out the trip at this mystery location…. Where am I now?!?!

16/08/2024

This one’s a little tougher…. Where are we now?!?!

11/08/2024

Now where are we?!

08/08/2024

Where the heck are we?!?!?!

15/06/2024

Well, I was in Paris anyway…..

11/06/2024

For the Paris leg of this trip, I made sure they saw some of the iconic landmarks of Paris. I also made sure that we explored some of the side streets and alleyways to experience where the locals go. They got samplings from local markets, wine makers, cheese makers and chocolatiers. Paris was a good time for all!

10/06/2024

Closed out London with some self-exploration (my favorite). I travelled the day by foot and train and had a blast. One of my favorite things to do is to get myself lost, so I can find my way back. My group did the same (minus the getting lost part) and had an amazing time. One of them actually got a photo of King Charles!! Next stop….. Paris!!!

08/06/2024

It’s never too early for gelato (10:15 a.m.)!!!

07/06/2024

Our 2nd full day in London included a visit to Warner Brother Studios. I’m not a hardcore Harry Potter guy, but Holy Muggles, this place was impressive!!!

05/06/2024

Even while I’m away, I’m working hard to make sure my guests are good.

04/06/2024

Our group had a great first full day! Got to visit Stonehenge and Salisbury Cathedral!

03/06/2024

I have the honor of leading a group of PBS Viewers outside of Chicago on a tour of London and Paris. I arrived a day before the group to line up a few things and get a lay of the land. I walked 13.1 miles (yes in my Crocs) exploring this amazing city. I also had the opportunity to meet an awesome family who is traveling on one of my European samplers. They’re having a blast!! All my guests arrived yesterday, got them comfortable and settled and now we’re heading out on one of our planned excursions. This trip is bloody brilliant!!

I’m on Disney adrenaline!

Some resort rooms are better than others. My guests are living their best lives in the Maldives!

Find a random stranger to dance with us at Cosmic Ray’s…. Check!

Here’s a little teaser of a group tour I’m planning for July 2024. If you’re looking to see some of the planet’s greatest hits in one trip, you should stay tuned for details. It’s all mapped out, excursions picked and sent out for pricing. This will be one heckuva trip!!!

Here is your 16 seconds of zen.

So I got up really early to attempt to get some sunrise pics. It was a little too cloudy for those, so I was just wandering around the property, listening to monkeys. I sat by the pool for a bit and started replying to emails and another dik-dik was chilling near me. I watched her for a bit and not even ten minutes went by and one of the staff here at the Arumeru River Lodge comes up to me and asks me if I wanted coffee. Now keep in mind, this is at like 6:15 a.m. I was like, “yes that sounds like a wonderful idea” and I started to get up. The dude was like “no no no, I’ll bring it to you”. Less than 5 minutes later I had a hot coffee (and it’s really good) in my hand, watching the dik-dik and just thinking to myself, there’s no way this amazing place would be on the radar of a big box tour company. One of the advantages of booking an African safari with a local to Tanzania tour company is that they know the hidden gems! They know the local spots better than anyone. Nice find Robert at Oltumure Tours!!

Daddy following suit and getting heckled by Lukey!! #RoyalCaribbean #rock #climbing #rockclimb

Lukey getting his rock climbing fix on Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of the Seas.

Yesterday was our first day on Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of the Sea. It was a day filled with surf, soccer, slides, slices (pizza) and snacks. We definitely had a good day! This ship is pretty awesome! We’ll see what today has in store for us.

Soooo, I flew back from Orlando, unpacked, did laundry, repacked, grabbed the boy and flew to Miami…

Lima…. At night!

Just finished eating a Hot Pocket and I’m really missing the food in Tenerife. We had the freshest, right off the boat seafood, amazing wines, their specialty coffee drink barraquito and incredible bakeries. I miss it all!! Most of the food served is locally sourced. The food here can’t be beat! You must visit this amazing destination. I can help with that!!! #visittenerife #myunitedjourney #gogovacations #spain #food #canaryislands
