GroupsAbout Me
Caribbean destinations and Group Travel Specialist
I have a passion for traveling the world. This passion began in 1981 before I was a travel advisor but lead me to becoming a Certified Travel Professional for 28 years. What lead me to follow my travel dreams was watching the "Love Boat" sitcoms back in the day. I loved watching excited travelers getting ready to take their first cruise on the beautiful azure seas from the Port of Los Angeles. I could not wait until the day I could take an exciting cruise. Well, I talked 3 other nursing colleagues to join me on a cruise adventure in 1981. Well as the expression goes "the rest is history". The travel bug had bitten me which it is still biting me but I do not mind except for the mosquito bites. Continuing to follow my travel dreams took me and a friend to the beautiful Caribbean island of Jamaica. I fell in love with the beauty, the culture, the cuisine of Jamaica. Jamaica is still one of my Caribbean favorites. As I speak about falling in "love". I truly fell in love in the USVI of St. Thomas with my husband of 26 years. While trekking back and forth to see the love of my life, I got to know St. Thomas and St. John very well and made great friendship's with the people, merchants, hoteliers, etc. Understandably the Caribbean and tropical destinations are my first love and "specialty". There are many Caribbean islands,, which I have been to most of them. To name a few Anguilla (also another favorite) the ABC Dutch islands -Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao, Antigua, Barbados, Bahamas (Nassau, Freeport, Eleuthera) Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Martinique, 2 countries in 1 island - St. Maarten (Dutch side) and St. Martin (French side) USVI - St. Croix, St. John and St. Thomas, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, Turks and Caicos. I still plan to visit the remaining Caribbean islands of St. Barts, Saba, Montserrat, St. Eustatius, St. Vincent and the Genadines and T&T (Trinidad and Tobago). I can then put a ck mark of completion of these 8 Caribbean islands.
With a desire to learn more about this vast world of God. I have also traveled to Mexico, Hawaii, the Mediterranean, and many other European countries. I realized that I needed to expand my travel horizon, compass and adventures to more long haul destinations. Which lead me to South East Asia, Thailand, Incredible India, UAE (4 of the 7 UAE's), The French Polynesia - Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora. In 2017 I was able to check off another "bucket list destination - the "Motherland" the continent of Africa. I escorted a group to East Africa - Tanzania, Zanzibar, South Africa - Joburg and Capetown, Zimbabwe. Along with checking off "Down Under - the continent of Australia in 2018. I have also taken countless .cruise adventures. My last count was around 58 or so. These wonderful cruises were aboard Celebrity cruises, Royal Caribbean, Princess cruises, Carnival Cruise lines, MSC cruises and Sitmar (which is no longer).
My continuous education and knowledge has earned me the title CERTIFIED TRAVEL/ DESTINATION SPECIALIST with Sandals, Jamaica, ACE (Aruba Certified Expert), St. Lucia, Mexico, Tahiti, CLIA MASTER CRUISE COUNSELOR, AM Resort Master Agent and IATAN endorsed agency.
