Costa Rica Specialist

Costa Rica takes my breath away!  The wildlife is spectacular, the oceans are beautiful and wild, the birds are unique, colorful, noisy and abundant.  The scenery is exquisite, created from the long-ago explosions of the many volcanoes in the country.  Each shoreline of the country is different -...

River Cruise Specialist

River cruises are my favorite way to see and experience the countries and cultures of Europe.  The beauty of the river bank sliding slowly by as you cruise along in the comfort of your stateroom, watching castles and church spires beckon you to visit.  Unpack once, and spend each day exploring another...

Over the course of the years, I have recognized the need for women to travel together with other like-minded women in safe, fun, and enriching ways.  As I considered this need, I thought of the women in my life, and particularly, my mother, Patricia, who passed away at the young age of 44.  I was...

My Travel Stories

Biking and Barging in Germany

I'm always up for a new travel experience, so when our friends suggested we all travel to the Moselle River region of Germany and experience a bike tour while sleeping and eating on a barge - I said "let's do it!".  I'm so glad that I did.  We booked the tour for the middle of September, knowing the...Read more.

Customer Testimonials

Outstanding Italy Trip Thanks to Sandy!

I am never traveling again without Sandra’s expertise and connections. The quality of the companies we were blessed to have take us on our adventures cannot be understated. We did not just get transportation to a location, we received as much information as we needed and the conversations were very comfortable and educational whether a quick to or from train station /airport and hotel or multiple hour day drives to some unbelievable destinations, custom presented by some very knowledgeable and dynamic guides who provide very comfortable and clean transportation. Sandy also monitored our progress and was able to reschedule an event seamlessly so I had no interruptions . My hotels exceeded service, comfort and were located perfectly and met the needs of my wife’s limited mobility perfectly , we discussed when planning explaining needs and limitations .I am thankful to my friend that recommended Sandra and her company and know that she will make a difference in your adventures too.

Great trip, Sandy made it very easy and enjoyable
We went on a trip to three different citied in Europe and did multiple tours and activities in each. I can't imagine not having Sandy to help line this up for us. Not only was it all set up, but detailed instructions along the way. This is much needed when you're in a place you've never been.

The Best trip of our lives without a doubt! I hav
Sandy was fabulous to work with. Her attention to detail is above and beyond. We took a two week trip to Europe with our two teenagers. We had very clear instructions getting from place to place down to what we should or should not tip drivers, tour guides etc. The tours she connected us with were top notch. Thanks to Sandy we had a spectacular trip and will have great memories. I highly recommend Sandy to help you plan your next trip.

Sandy Made All the Difference!
I had not worked with a travel agent before and decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did! Sandy saved us so much money and time with her expertise. She made it easy for us (children included!). From her initial suggestions which we needed to even get started to her willingness to make changes throughout the planning process to make the perfect itinerary for us, she made it all happen within our budget. She is a wealth of knowledge and we will definitely use her again.
