I have traveled all of my life. My parents loved to travel and put that love into me. As a former university professor, I loved to research. When I would plan a trip, it would be researched to the last detail. I have turned that into researching for others.
I've traveled all over North America and most of Europe. My travel bucket list is several pages long!
Allow me to help you with your travel plans. I'm sure I can help you plan the perfect vacation.

River Cruise Expert
▶River Cruise Expert
River cruises are great for those that tend to get seasick. On the river, there are no waves! It's smooth sailing all the way. River cruises are a great way to see a country. You only have to unpack once and wake up in a new city. Excursions are included in most cruises.

My first cruise was on the original Carnival Mardi Gras in 1988. I thought the ship was huge and so luxurious. Compared to today's ships, it was the size of a tugboat!
But, I was hooked. Since then, I have been on over 35 cruises on 12 different brands.

Terrible Cruise -- Should have listened to Billy
Reviewed By Smithey - Chapel Hill, NC | Traveled to Bahamas | Caribbean
We wanted a quick cruise. We chose a cruise line that does not have a great reputation. Billy tried to talk us out of it, but we went anyway. We should have listened to him. From now on we'll take his advice!
