I have always wanted to travel.  The journey was just as important as the destination.  Seeing new things, meeting new people, and having new experiences was a treat.  I never envisioned I would get too far from home.  Little did I know my future when I took my first solo trip to Hawaii at 20.  

Since my travel adventure started, I have been across the USA many times and love each new place I find myself. History is so much easier to understand when you are on site.  I have learned that there is much more to the USA than just two coasts and the people are warm and friendly.  

Besides home, I have been to Europe, Asia, Africa, India, China, Japan, Korea, Australia, and my long time goal of Bora Bora --long story there.  I have been fortunate and sailed from New Orleans to Singapore and Syndey to Honolulu.  

I have been on numerous sailings and cruise lines, on European river cruises, and a Mississippi River cruise.  I can even say I have been in a giant canoe on the upper Amazon River.  The California Delta is my backyard and playground. 

My adventures and travels have gone from simple to very luxurious and a great number in between. It is amazing how many experiences can be packed into 50+ years of adventure. 

I believe my experiences can assist you  in making reality of  your vision and goals. Drop me a line, call, or text so we can start planning that dream.
