My Escorted Tours

Avalon Waterways Mekong Discovery /Northbound Cruise -  December 2019 Ho Chi Minh City to Phnom Phenh  Wow! Where do I begin... it was a trip of a lifetime for sure! We flew with Eva Air, an awesome experience and service was wonderful. We did a few extra days on our own in Ho Chi Minh City before cruise and after the cruise headed to Siem Reap which was an experience all on its own. We then joined the Avalon River Cruise for 7 days, Perfect! The staff, cabin and meals were outstanding. It was a Christmas cruise so the staff and guests had a special Christmas eve party on board -great time by all ! We did two tours each day, ox cart ride, walking thru villages, meeting a Vietnam Vet., Pub street.  Experiencing the culture and the markets was the highlight. People were very friendly and spoke pretty good English. Would go back in a heartbeat!

  Varadero, Cuba, November 3 - 10th  Stayed at the Paradisus Princesa del Mar,  5 star, adults only property Directly on the beautiful beach, close to the Marina. There is a shuttle bus that will run the stretch of the Varadero peninsula. The hotel has 5 a la carte restaurants, not great but didn't go hungry and the buffet was always there as a backup.  We stayed at the Royal Service section, and couldn't have received better service. Excellent! private pool and bar area and restaurant. Service perfect! Took a private car day tour to Havana, which I would strongly recommend Hotel has nightly entertainment, which was always great to see. I would highly recommend this property.

Beautiful Sand Beaches, and Sun! Stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel Cancun in March 2015 It was a great resort directly on the beach, and our room faced the ocean so it was so nice to relax on the balcony and enjoy the view Lots of restaurant choices and the pizzeria at pool side was fabulous! Nightly entertainment was a nice treat to end the day One of the highlights was the afternoon pool party with "Jason Derulo" It was a great vacation, people were friendly and food was great.          

  Paris to Normandy's Landing Beaches Departing May 23 - May 30th, on the Avalon Tapestry River Cruise A wonderful trip from Paris to Normandy Beach and return, the ship was amazing, cabins were spacious , food was terrific and can't forget the afternoon sugar donuts! The itinerary included a stop in Caudebec and experienced an excursion to the "Thatched Cottages" beautiful quaint village... so cool... and then we headed to Normandy Beach, Juno Beach, and Gold Beach ...a very educational and emotional day... with a stop at the Canadian cemetery.  An amazing experience, and I'm looking forward to my next River Cruise experience.
