Family Celebration at Half Moon
Good morning Karen,
Thank you so much for all of your work in putting together our trip to Half Moon. I just 
can’t express how perfect it was. What an amazing resort!! And very accommodating staff.
For our anniversary, they made an anniversary sign, strung lights on the pool patio where we were having dinner and brought in small palm trees to add to the ambience. A memorable and romantic setting! They made a birthday cake for Hunter, as well as Baked Alaska, which she had requested for her birthday dessert. Very creative and they added so many touches to the entire five days.

Thanks again,
George and Saunders Compo
China Honeymoon
During their trip, the couple went with a tour guide to visit Beijing and then to Xian to see the Terra Cotta Warriors.
"If it wasn't for our guide, we would have never seen as much because we went during a holiday. She was feisty and got us where we needed to be. Thanks again for all your help with our honeymoon."

Just another quick message of THANKS! The Mandarin was wonderful, a bottle of champagne, chocolate covered strawberries, and a rose heart on the bed. I took, and attached, the picture so you could take a look! Also, Stan and Sue were upgraded at the Mandarin in Prague. They were ECSTATIC!!!
Thanks AGAIN for ALL that you do!

“I approach trip planning as a match maker. Listening carefully to my clients’ desires, needs and dreams and matching them with the perfect vacation plan is my personal challenge. It is so rewarding when everything comes together to make a special memory.”
“The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is the little extra and this is what I strive to deliver with every trip. Personal contacts around the world make all the difference when personalizing a trip."

Holy Land: Journey to Jersalem, Bethlehem and Galilee
As a specialist in faith based travel, learn about Karen's recent six-day adventure to the Holy Land in this special guest blog article.
"Pilgrimage meets sightseeing in the Holy Land with a different climate around every corner. On a recent trip to Israel in January, we were very fortunate to enjoy great weather despite the winter season. ..
From an 11,000 year old watchtower in Jericho to a modern day Kibbutz that is working and thriving on the Sea of Galilee, this ancient land has so much to offer the tourist and/or the pilgrim – Jewish, Muslim or Christian."
