THE VARIETY OF AFRICA

We recently met with many travel providers for this continent.  We really take pride in finding some unusual and fun options for your trip -after all isn't that the real fun of exploration!

Whether you're looking for a life changing safari or sailing through time down the Nile -we can offer great options for you to consider.  We feel themes are a great way to add some spark to your journey.  Why not consider Food, Wine, Faith, Sports, Golf, Culture, History, Voluntourism, Wildlife -if you have your own theme we'll create that for you with no charge.

How about including a Grand Rail Journey to your trip.  Two of the best are The Blue Train and Rovos Rail.  Group Travel is always fun -but when you experience a train likes these together it elevates memories to another level.  We do have some trips which are totally designed for Families as well.  Africa offers some of the most amazing hotels anywhere -many of the Lodges are just stunning.  In addition The Palace of the Lost City is just astounding -why not treat yourself like a King or Queen.  If you prefer to do a self drive tour -we can offer this to you too.  When you visit Victoria Falls stay in a Hotel with a front row view.  If a beach vacation is a goal -be sure to include the Seychelles.

TWO UNIQUE PROPERTIES

We recently met with several of our contacts in the Travel World.

We wanted to inform you of 2 options for your next vacation -or "life event" of any kind.

Casa de Campo has been a Star for many years in the Travel World.  It's also hosted many famous people in that time as well.  They've combined the rugged beauty, tradition & space with what today's explorer is looking for.  If you'd like to combine some sporting with your relaxation -this is the place for you.  Of course the Golf options are amazing.  We do offer many choices along with special offers in this area.  In addition you can try your hand at Polo, Horseback Riding, Shooting, Tennis, Fishing and more.  If you'd like to try your hand at any of these, but need instructions -that's available too.  If your more into the arts don't miss the amazing Altos de Chavon area -you'll swear you're in Italy.  A Member of "Leading Hotels of the World".

If you'd like to combine a beautiful, new and fun resort along with a smaller island such as St. Vincent we've got a great option for you.  We know Destination Weddings are very big now and what we try and offer is places which offer something just a bit out of the ordinary.  We actually have a Galleon Ship next to the resort where an amazing ceremony can be arranged.  There are even cannons on board this new vessel.  So whether you fancy yourself a Pirate or even if someone is a Member of the Military -it really will be talked about.  At this same resort Scuba Diving is a big part of the options for you.  Many different dive levels are available -there's even one going into the "Bat Cave"!  Did anyone see Bruce Wayne check in?

ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SHIPS WE'VE EVER SEEN
1/2/2012 2:50:55 PM Link 0 comments | Add comment

We were honored to be invited by Cunard Line to see the brand new QUEEN ELIZABETH when she made her maiden arrival to the Port of Boston.  Of course Cunard has been offering grand sea voyages for over 170 years -therefore we really don't need to spend too much time on how much experience this company has.

Having been in this industry since the mid 70's I've seen many great new ships, along with many beautiful older vessels as well.  I have to say that this stunning ship is among the top I've seen.  I was blown away by the detailed craftmanship & pride you saw everywhere.  The other point to make is that you see this style all over the ship, not just in one area -or a few!  Going from one area to another your breath is taken away with each new "discovery".  If you like the Art Deco style so common on the Grand Liners of the past -it's clear Cunard was determined to bring this back, with no hesitation at all.

There are too many kudos to mention all of them, but we'd like to mention some highlights.  The Grand Lobby is a trip back in time -there is an enclosed lounge near the pool deck with a sloping glass roof(my immediate thought was that we'd tell our clients to spend a lot of time here -just amazing)!  For those lucky enough to be staying in the Grill Sector not only will you enjoy wonderful Dining Rooms, but the Private Courtyard Dining area is outstanding.

We have some amazing offers not only on this beautiful ship -but also on her sister ship which is spending this winter in the America's(your best chance to experience Cunard close to home)!  Of course QUEEN MARY 2 offers the regular Transatlantic Crossings as well as cruising in many areas of the world or all the way around it.  NOTE: Always dreamed of taking a World Cruise, but too long -consider joining a segment anywhere around the world.  We have all the details -you're part of the most exclusive trip at a much lower cost, both in terms of time & money.

CHIPWRECKED ON THE CARNIVAL DREAM
12/13/2011 11:28:28 AM Link 0 comments | Add comment

If the Family enjoys this latest version of our friend's -The Chipmunks, take a good look at the beautiful ship they are sailing on.  That would be one of Carnival's newest ships -the CARNIVAL DREAM!

Choosing one of the Fun Ships should give you an idea of who'll enjoy this vessel.  The quality aboard Carnival is much higher than many people think.  It's also more upscale than many think as well -no doubt it does have a bit of the Vegas Style.  Another thing many people have a misconception about is the age of cruisers onboard.  You'll find the ages are very equal all across the board.

The cuisine is often rated as among the best -among the big lines.  Staterooms are some of the largest you'll find in their class.  Speaking of staterooms this ship offers many which can take care of 5 guests in one room -they also feature 2 bathrooms, this is great for Families!  Some of these offer a balcony & the rest are oceanview.  These book very quickly -if you have interest please contact us.  Another feature we love about this ship is the Serenity Adult Area which is a wonderful private deck area -this is open to all & there is no additional charge for this feature!

We do have a bookable link with Carnival from our Home Page if you want to make a decision at Midnight or if you prefer to book that way -we'll still be here to back up your trip & handle any questions you may have!

ST. LUCIA -ONE OF THE MOST DRAMATIC ISLANDS
11/28/2011 10:45:47 AM Link 0 comments | Add comment

We recently met with our friend's from the Tourist Office there.  How could anyone look at the soaring Pitons and not know that this place is special.  Therefore seriously consider it for your next warm weather getaway or group celebration!

We offer 24/7 bookable options for you -just go to our Home Page & click Dream Vacation.  You'll still get our personal service of course -but you can also look at endless options for your trip right there.  Of course if you prefer to contact our office -we're here for you as well.  We offer a price match feature -among our insurance products is a Cancel for Any Reason policy too.  You can also check out/book a large selection of Villas directly from here as well.  These can be perfect for a big event, family reunion or a destination wedding -of course we offer all of these at fine resorts as well, but you'll have total control over options at a Villa.

We'd like to highlight 2 properties which stood out for us this time.  Windjammer Landing offers many of the great qualities which you look for in a well run property -however they've also won several awards for outstanding treatment of their staff.  A happy staff member = a happy atmosphere & satisfied guests!

LAderA offers on 23 suites -overlooking the Pitons and a design which is outstanding.  You could actually take over the entire resort with less than 50 people.  Talk about a unique experience.

Of course we do offer many options -no matter what your taste & budget might require.  Again, click Dream Vacation on our home page and you'll see it all -with us as your advocate.

IRELAND IS POPULAR -FOR GOOD REASON
11/21/2011 1:45:32 PM Link 0 comments | Add comment

We know you hear the commercials about why you should consider Ireland as a very special vacation -for everyone & they are right.  We have contacts directly on The Emerald Isle, not to mention that we put the time and effort(for no extra fee) to create a special trip for you!  As an example Pres. Obama recently visited Ireland to check out where some of his Family had come from -we do have some tours which follow the route he did.

Whether you'd like to experience one of Ireland's Grand Castle Hotels or a brand new state of the art Hotel we can help you out with your quest.  Of course we also handle the famous & friendly B & B's across Ireland.  You can choose a custom trip just for you -or we can book you into one of our scheduled tours.  These range from very inclusive all the way to minimum structure -depending on what works for you.  Some of the benefits of a tour are meeting new friend's from around the world -better pricing with group buying ability, priority entrance to museums -etc.

We also can offer you tours of The Flying Boat Museum -one of the most unique in the world.  If you have a group of any kind, including a wedding -we can actually arrange this at the museum.

If you'd like to experience just a magnificent property -consider Dromoland Castle.  It's just absolute perfection.  Again if your style is toward the more modern we'd suggest Castlemartyr as an option.

Ask about our Serenity Lakeside Vacation -it's something quite different from the typical Ireland Tour, we always like presenting you with unique options.

If you'd like a smaller group tour we have options for that as well.  With a maximum of 15 people on these tours you could even easily have a private tour for your family or group -talk about amazing!  We also offer tours connected with both Cunard Line and Princess Cruises.  You can drive yourself on your own journey or if you'd like to go the other extreme we can arrange a chauffeured tour as well.
