Travel Consultant

My expertise comes from 35 years in the travel industry. My specialty is in the Caribbean, Hawaii, Mexico, Cruising, Skiing, Golfing, Canada and the United States. I have planned custom built trips in Australia, Europe,England, Greece and Italy where my ancestors are from. While in Sicily I visited an Acropolis in Agrigento, walked the streets of Erice a medieval town from the 12th century with narrow cobblestone streets and tombs of Italian leaders buried in the floors of their Cathedrals, and had gelato at a seaside cafe in the wonderful town of Taormina. The Mediterranean is inviting and mesmerizing but some of the most beautiful beaches are in the Caribbean. I have travelled to most of the islands and can tell you almost anything you want about them. Hawaii is one of my favorite places. If you want to surf, snorkel, hike or sun bath let me plan your vacation there. If you're adventurous take a helicopter ride over the live volcano on the Big Island or the breathtaking Napili Coast in Kauai. I know where the best luaus are and if you're into World War II history a visit to the Arizona Memorial and the USS Missouri in Pearl Harbor is a must. I stood on the spot where the Japanese surrendered. It was pretty moving. I have been to Cancun and the Mayan Riviera several times. While there I visited the ruins of Tulum and Chichen Itza a Mayan civilization that lived deep in the jungles of Mexico. The Mayan Riviera boasts some of the most beautiful hotels in the Gulf of Mexico/Caribbean area and I've stayed at or visited many of them. There are many cities in the United States I've been to but the most memorable one is Carmel, California. I had the opportunity to visit Pebble Beach, THE most prestigious golf course in the world, as a non golfer (at that time). I have taken up golf since then and have an extensive knowledge of courses in the United States, Mexico and the Caribbean and Hawaii. Cruising is also a passion of mine. Watching the sunset from a balcony cabin off the back of the ship is romantic and full of ambiance . If you want to get away from the world take a cruise. The food, entertainment and ports of call & make for a memorable vacation in any area of the world. Making travel plans with a professional travel agent helps you save time and money. Let me assist you with your future travel arrangements.
