My passion for travel has blossomed into this website as my ongoing vacation ideas and travel advice have inspired friends to plan their travel adventures with the realization that amazing trips are possible with enough information and good travel planning.
It is my desire to share with you my vacation ideas and provide you with travel reviews of places that I have discovered and learned from my travel adventures:

- Learn how to plan your own trip, design your itinerary and book your hotels.

Personal Experiences Inspired the Great Vacations Travel Guide
I have traveled to many enchanting destinations including the Caribbean, Mexico, Canada and Europe.
I have walked around the world’s most romantic cities, such as London, New York, Paris, Rome, and Venice.
Bathed in the sun-kissed coasts of the Caribbean Islands, the Mayan Riviera, the French Riviera, the Italian Riviera and Amalfi Coast.
Enjoyed fabulous walks and romantic dinners along famous rivers like the Thames in London, the Seine in Paris, the Grand Canal in Venice and the Vltava in Prague.
Explored the mountains and stunning views in Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper, Canada.
Lodged in the village of Chamonix, France and ascended the gondola up to Mont Blanc.
Trekked around the beautiful Lauterbrunen Valley in Switzerland and up to the mountain peak called Piz Gloria on Mount Schilthorn, where the James Bond movie Her Majesty’s Secret Service had been filmed.
Journeyed by the local railway across the valley to the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau mountains, which appear on the cover of many Swiss chocolates.
And so much more…which I will continue adding to my web site.
