Travel to sunny places

I've been traveling for years as my own personal travel agent. I then decided to make this fun hobby something I do as a career. I love helping people with their travel dreams and finding great deals along the way.

I live in a small town on the Mississippi River in Wisconsin with my husband and two children. We are constantly on the go with our busy lives we all need to take some time and make some family memories off the ball fields and courts.

Our cold winters don't fit with our lifestyle so much as we would rather be in sandals year round instead of in snow boots in the winter. My family and I try to escape the frozen tundra to some kind of island paradise when we can. Somewhere warmer, preferably with palm trees, beautiful sandy beaches and blue waters to swim and snorkel.

I have traveled to several parts of the Bahamas, Caribbean and areas of Mexico along with several states in the USA included Hawaii and Alaska. I have a bucket list like many so I cross things off as I go. Life's too short.

I have sailed on a few cruise lines so I'm familiar with the styles of sailing they offer along with staying at some all-inclusive vacations. Loving the warm outdoors I enjoy getting out and having fun on this beautiful planet we live on. The best part for me is making memories with my family and friends and making new friends on every adventure.

Helping others shop for the best deal helps us get to do more. Living where I do we need to fly to most of where we want to go which can make things extra challenging because of budget. I've learned as I went and continue to learn as I go little tricks and pointers along with those do's and don'ts. That's what so much fun to me is learning all the new things I get to take in about traveling. There are so many different kinds of travel out there.

Do you want to stay in one area for a week sucking up the sun, ocean and some of those great cocktails while at a swim up bar and having fresh fruit everyday? If so, an All-Inclusive Report is something you should try.

Island/land hopping is where you unpack your bag once while on a ship traveling to different islands learning their different cultures. You can also stay on the ship and not get off if you like. Are you wanting food ready at all hours of the day of fresh fruit, baked pastries, steak and lobster while you're on a party boat every day? If so, a Cruise line adventure is in your future.

Maybe you like to cruise and want to try something different. Looking at the glaciers while you listen to the ice break off of a glacier while seeing whales coming up for a breath of air as the eagles soar over your head is priceless. You can also go a few more days and take an in-land cruisetour while checking out all the mainland wildlife of the American Eagle, various kids of bear, moose and the breath taking views by ship, bus, train and helicopter. If this is more of your calling then an Alaskan Cruise is for you.

If you are one that loves to travel and would like to have a destination wedding or renew your wedding vows consider a wide variety of places to go. From the a ceremony on the sand, to a castle in Europe or at Disney World next to Cinderella's castle; your wedding dreams can be a reality with your loved one by your side while your family and friends are there to enjoy every moment with you.

For the history buff you could travel to Europe. Discovering the country by land or sea and tour many of what they have to offer. From the Eiffel Tower, Colosseum, Swiss Alps, Leaning Tower of Pisa, Big Ben or Oktoberfest in Germany. Maybe a River Boat Cruise would be a way of sightseeing while relaxing on the boat. It's an open book when traveling to Europe.

Where do you want your travel dreams to take you? Hiking near that beautiful waterfalls and coves, having a coffee and pastries in the heart of Paris, enjoying Australia with the kangaroo's and sea life or visiting Alaska to see the glaciers, whales, eagles, bear and all the other wild life the beautiful state has to offer? Some have dreams that are endless. Where will yours take you?

My biggest challenge was working with my family of 17 people on a cruise to Alaska. This included ages 1 to 76; trying to keep all ages, personalities and physical abilities in mind. Everyone loved their trip!

No vacation is too big or too small. I'd love to help make your next vacation memorable.
