I have always enjoyed the thrill of discovering a place for the first time.
For me, traveling is about unexpectedly memorable moments; wandering about in a Swiss village and getting caught in a cow herd returning from the Alpine meadows, spotting whales close up while ferrying between Vancouver and Victoria, people watching while sipping a cappuccino at the Piazza Navona.
Having thirty years experience as a travel advisor, my specialties include family and multi-generational travels, leisure independent and escorted tours, and cruises. I am delighted to share my experiences and knowledge with my clients, and enjoy their feedback and comments upon their return, especially their memorable moments!
Ireland Aug. 2009 Dublin is a lively walking city, filled with music, pubs, history and literature. From Dublin we headed west on a Brendan Tour to the town of Killarney, where we explored Blarney Castle and the Ring of Kerry, where the scenery is unsurpassed. For me, the highlight of all the spectacular sights was the Cliffs of Moher. With the seagulls soaring on the updrafts, and the sheer cliffs rising up from the foaming sea, the sight was absolutely breathtaking.
Another treat was the opportunity to stay at Dromoland Castle, a preserved castle from the 16th century!
