Where Have We Been Lately?A large part of our knowledge and experience is a result of personal visits to the destinations that we promote.
Trips in 2010
Dominican Republic - Punta Cana area continues to grow and grow with new all-inclusives joining the already-popular beach front locations in Bavaro. An additional resort area only 45 minutes away is Cap Cana, with two upscale properties (adults-only Secrets and the Golden Bear Lodge and Spa providing the ultimate luxurious accommodations.
Trips In 2009
World Travel Market
The largest travel trade show in the world is held every November in London, England. This is where travel professionals attending can meet with their international suppliers, obtain new ideas for itineraries, strengthen their knowledge about worldwide destinations and much more. Our GM is attending this show (in very comfortable walking shoes) for 3 days to get more information on cruises, group tours in Europe and Middle East, China tours, and many other destinations. This website is continually being changed and updates as we add more travel options for our customers. Get ready!
 Our GM, Lilliam, recently visited Israel for five days, and found the destination fascinating. From a Christian, archaeological and cultural perspective, Israel offers a large variety of choices in tours, accommodations and activities. The Galilee area is now very popular for mountain biking, ATV tours, whitewater rafting and hiking. And there's no question that the historical and religious sites are truly inspiring. Lilliam likes to write and take photos and has written a short article about her experience. Read more about her trip to Israel. Also review the itineraries available for groups or individuals.
Other recent visits also include Jamaica. An unbelievable change has occurred on this Caribbean island over the past few years, with a multitude of new all-inclusive resorts built in the Montego Bay and Ocho Rios area. Golf is one of the favorite past times, and a new Jamaica golf package will soon be unveiled here.
Cancun continues to be a popular destination due to its proximity to the U.S. and the large number of direct flights. We highly recommend this destination, especially the resorts in the Riviera Maya area just south of the Cancun strip. All travel advisories have been lifted and the hotels and resorts are ready to welcome visitors!
Dominican Republic is also a growing destination. Both the Punta Cana area and the area of La Romana have seen a huge growth in new all-inclusive resorts as well as upscale boutique hotels. The down side to Dominican Republic are the road conditions. But that doesn't deter the folks who enjoy great beaches and even better golf. The Grande Dame of golf continues to be Teeth of the Dog (see golf package). Other golf packages are coming soon.
Belize - the original Mecca for divers - is now a Mecca for everything outdoors! Unfortunately, Belize City - a frequent stop for cruise ship visitors - is not even a sample of the true beautiful outdoors that Belize offers. Whether you visit an upscale resort like Cayo Espanto or an even more beautiful mountain resort one hour away (by plane) at Machaca Hill Lodge, Belize is truly a spectacular destination. Southern Belize is unspoiled, clean and warmly welcomes visitors but you will not see any crowds of tourists. It's the best diving, fishing (both fresh and saltwater), visit unique Mayan Ruins virtually by yourself, have a picnic by waterfalls with nobody around, and enjoy five-star accommodations and dining.
Trips in 2008
Turks & Caicos was relatively unknown for many years. The most unique aspect of this destination is that there are only two all-inclusive resorts, (Club Med and Beaches) and the remaining accommodations are villas and homes, or week-long apartment rentals. Beaches has expanded the resort tremendously, now offering three different villages - French, Caribbean and Italian - as well as 16 restaurants.
Switzerland - Unbelievably easy to visit due to the outstanding public transportation available on trains and buses throughout the country. Itineraries include arrival in Geneva and tour of that old city, visit to Mount Zermatt (used by Paramount Pictures as their logo), whitewater rafting, hiking and top notch Swiss spa treatments in St Moritz, and more. English, German and French are all official languages, depending on which part of the country you are staying.
Amazon River - Everyone should visit the largest river in the world at least once in their lifetime, and there are numerous ways to experience this exotic destination. Whether you select an eco-cruise that travels from the widest point to a narrow waterway. After more than 15 years of experience traveling to the Amazon, we know what/where and when! Call us for the options available.
