Elaine knows the river barge business. Her suggestions for using one company over another made sense and were appreciated. She was very professional.

About Me:

I have been a CRUISE TRAVEL SPECIALIST for over twenty years and in the travel business for 30 years. I was fortunate to be named the first Master Cruise Counselor in the United States. My professional goal is to provide my clients with personalized and knowledgeable service so that they will experience an "enjoyable and memorable vacation". My travels have taken me to all five continents for example Antarctica, China (twice), SE Asia (three times), Australia & New Zealand (twice) Northern Europe/Russia-3 times and Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean (several times) South America and of course Alaska and Canada.

It has always been my philosophy that travel opens doors of understanding and there would be a lot more peace in the world if people were free to get to know and respect each other for their similarities and for their differences. I vividly recall visiting Russia during the Cold War in the 80’s (when the customs officer inspected the tiniest item in my suitcase), when our countries were deeply suspicious of each other, each suspecting that the other was ready to wage war. When you talked to the average Russian, being an enemy of the US was not even a consideration—after losing 20 million people during the Great War, as they called WWII, they wanted only to find peace in their lifetime. Likewise a visit to China in the early 90’s, gave me a view of a people who had suffered terribly under the Cultural Revolution—poor people dressed in Mao clothing, no decent hotels, transportation by bicycle- a beaten people. Fast forward to a repeat visit in 2004, and we encounter an unbelievable transformation. China has moved forward and evolved into a great nation with worldwide industry, tourism and personal success for many. These experiences set me on a personal path to visit all corners of the world and to help others share this vision. It is important to recognize that tourism supports people in many countries and the knowledge that we gain from one or more personal visits educates and enriches our lives! Allow me to help you attain this goal!
