I have been in the Travel business for 14 years, and have loved every minute of it.  I enjoy getting to know clients and finding out what they like most about their vacations.  Knowing my clients' preferences helps me to get a good fit for my clients and their vacation destinations. 

My favorite place to travel to is anywhere in the Caribbean, I love the landscape that the various islands have to offer and I especially enjoy  the people I meet.  I have bareboated through the British Virgin Islands and know them intimately.  I have been to the US Virgin Islands, Aruba, St. Maarten, Puerto Rico, and Jamaica.  I have traveled to the Florida Key and Key West yearly, and have extensive knowledge of that area.   If you are making the beautiful drive down A1A from the mainland to Key West (everyone should do this at least once), I can tell you where all the good stops are for lunch/cocktiails.    I am also a certified diver and can help you find the very best dive destinations in the world.  I am also an accomplished skier and would love to assist you with planning your ski vacation.  Other places I have been to include Ireland, Las Vegas, Memphis, New Orleans, Canada, Walt Disney World, Bermuda, the Bahamas, and numerous cruises.

I am especially proud to be one of a select number of Certified Hawaii Destination Specialists recommended by the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau.  I have successfully completed the Ke Kula O Hawaii or "The School of Hawaii" coursework and can help guide you to one of the most amazing, beautiful and unique vacations around...Hawaii!

I am also a Silver Agent in the Sandals Certified Specialist Program, also a graduate of Disney College of Knowledge, and a Destination Wedding/Honeymoon Specialist.   Recently, I became a British Virgin Island Specialist.  I also enjoy coordinating group travel and cruises, and escorting many of my groups to their various destinations to ensure that all their travel details are achieved.  I have a family of my own so I know how important it is to find just the right spot for your family vacation as well.  

I especially enjoy working with honeymooners, and I know how important that special vacation is to the happy couple, so I want to work with them to get it exactly right.   I get so energized by seeing how excited and enthusiastic my clients are about their vacations. And I know many of them only get to take one or two a year, so that means everything has to fit just right - that's where I focus my attention - making sure I get all the details just right to ensure that your vacation is everything you expect it to be.....and more!

Please feel free to contact me for a complimentary consultation.

Tropical Regards, see you on the beach!
