    Fantastic Cruise Experience with Kate
    Cindy and I had a wonderful time on our cruise with our experience peaking with the awesome stay in Barcelona. You did a wonderful job of helping us navigate all the challenges and opportunities associated with our cruise and stays in Rome and Barcelona. We’re excited to speak to you about some future trip ideas. Once things settle down, and we get into our summer routine we’ll be in touch. Thanks again for making our time well spent in excellent accommodations and wonderful memories!

    Friends London Trip May 2025
    Thirteen years ago, I worked with Kate to create an “adventure of a lifetime”. At that time, it was. Much to my excitement, these adventures began to happen at least once a year. All were adventures of a lifetime with Kate’s guidance. Recently, a “girls” week in London turned out to be one of my favorites. Kate asked what we wanted to see and experience. She created an Itinerary and included everything we asked and more. My friend and I were thrilled with everything. Thank you Kate! You're the BEST!
