Greek island of Santorini - Mask!

Once a volcano, the beautiful Greek island of Santorini has some spectacular views and great shopping! There are only three ways to get to the top of Santorini, one is by cable car, another by walking, and a really odd and politically incorrect way is by donkey. This area is where I picked up this amazing mask you see here.

New England to Canada cruise - Flavor of Europe

Want to get the flavor of Europe without ever leaving the North American continent? The New England to Canada Cruise is right for you! You have a choice of leaving from Boston or New York and arriving in Montreal or Quebec City. Quebec City, personally one of my favorite cities in the world, is home to Chateau Frontenac, one of the most photographed hotels in the world. This hotel has a castle-like structure overlooking the St. Lawrence River. Cruising down St. Lawrence River you pass beautiful places like Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. With the amazing French history, excellent food, incredibly nice people, and best of all a very low cost departing from the East coast, I highly recommend this cruise.

One of My Favorite Cruises - Hiroshima and Nagasaki

A cruise of Japan and Hong Kong on Crystal Cruise lines is a favorite for Kristie and me.   Our journey began with a flight to Yokohama, Japan.  With stops in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we toured the museums remembering Imperial Japan and World War II.  You can only imagine the impact it had on us to view some of the displays that had little children's bikes and shoes burned. Departing from Japan we set sail for Hong Kong, China. This is both an enjoyable and moving cruise, one that given the opportunity you really must take.

Cruising Italy - One Not To Be Missed

When cruising to Rome, Italy, I recommend my clients stay at least one day in this wonderful city. Sights including the Catacombs, Coliseum, Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps are known worldwide and are just a few of the magnificent sites in Rome. Another great city to visit is Civitavecchia, located two hours north of Rome. Here's my best tip when planning a cruise that includes Rome: Schedule your Rome sightseeing before or after the cruise. This way you don't have to rush to visit all of the amazing parts of this fabulous city. This is truly one not to be missed!
