Alaska

I have been to Alaska multiple times and every time I have had a different experience. Alaska is the place to go if you enjoy breathtaking scenery and spying wildlife in their natural habitat. Bears, puffins, sea birds, sea lions, sea otters, whales, moose, and eagles, are just some of the wildlife you can see on an Alaskan Cruise. Alaska is the land of glaciers and mountains of ice. Small luxury expedition cruise allow the adventurous traveler to see glaciers and wildlife up close. Larger ships cover more ground allowing for a comfortable and efficient way to visit. The cruise season in Alaska begins in late April and continues through September. You can explore the inside passage on a round trip cruise from Vancouver or Seattle. If you don't want to take a cruise you can do a land vacation in the winter and summer as well. The Alaskan Railway is a great way to see the beautiful landscape.

Tuscany gourmet food and wine tour

It was an amazing experience. Monique was my point of contact setting up the tours, payments. She set up zoom calls upfront so we could meet fellow travelers. She was extremely helpful. Once there my assumption is we were turned over to her partner Patricia. Pat was amazing & answered all questions while on travel.
