GROUP travel has never been more popular, and for good reason:

• Travelling with friends and family can be more fun
• Save money with group rates
• Potentially travel for free if you are the group organizer or leader!
• Added amenities and bonuses, and better payment terms
• Make memories together!

A GROUP can be smaller than you might think:  An all-inclusive or tour group can be as few as 10 people, and a cruise group is typically 16 people

Think you might have a GROUP?  Contact Me - I have experience with putting together groups for flights, cruises, mission and volunteer trips, and all-inclusive vacations (including Destination Weddings)!  I can source exactly what you need and also negotiate the best rates and amenities for your group.

We often refer to Ireland as the “Emerald Isle”, but visitors are often surprised to find two Irelands with distinct characteristics and unique destinies that live side by side and share a common land. One could even say that there are dozens of Irelands, each varying according to its region, weather and people.

Take a guided tour, or choose a more independent approach. The options for seeing this epic destination are endless!

If there is one universal at this time of year, it’s Christmas lights. During the last month of the year, there is never an energy crisis, only an opportunity to dazzle in the most ostentatious manner possible.   

There is a house around the corner from us in Burlington that is quite famous for it’s Christmas light display.  Yes, we visit and stand in awe every December. 

But now, we will look much further… assembled below you will find videos of some of the most remarkable Christmas displays from around the world.  Accuse them of being wasteful, call them garish, but you have to hand it to them in one respect… they know how to put on a show, and we all love to be entertained!  Festive is truly in the eye of the beholder, as you will see if you click on the following merry links:

Travel brochures are packed with useful information and pictures, and can be a great help when planning a trip.  In their traditional paper version, they are also bulky, certainly not eco-friendly, and they quickly become out of date and obsolete.   Many of my trusted travel suppliers actually produce electronic versions of their brochures, and so I added a section on my blog site to list them for you.  Just click on ‘E-brochures’ tab!

Extraordinary Variety and Surprising Options Characterize Ship Shore Excursions

Walking the rooftops of Stockholm, catching lobsters in Maine, Maseratis in Monaco and bobsleds in Jamaica: anyone who thinks cruise ship shore excursions consist of only half-day city sightseeing tours, is in for a huge surprise.
