Have you ever wanted to witness the Aurora Borealis from the deck of a cruise ship?  Maybe you've wanted to kayak up to the base of a glacier.  Alaska is all about the majesty and wonder of the "Great Land".  From the sights and sounds of ice calv...

It should go without saying that you kind of have to enjoy traveling if you're going to convincingly sell travel. How can I sell a product if I don't wholeheartedly believe in it 100%, and am able to convey that passion and excitement to you, the travel curious?  We were adventure seekers long before it became our career.  Our first cruise was in 2005 on the Carnival Elation for our 15th wedding anniversary.  Today, it would be considered a small to medium ship, but when we drove to the Port of Galveston to board her, it was the largest vessel we'd ever seen!  It was our first time out of the country.  It was just a 4-night cruise, sailing to Cozumel and back, but that first sailing sparked a flame that has not burned out in almost 20 years.


Since that first sailing, we have sailed more than a dozen times on many different cruise lines. At first, we stuck with Carnival because it's all we knew. Our first Royal Caribbean cruise was in 2019 with our whole extended family on the Liberty of the Seas. What a beautiful ship!  


Since then, we've sailed Princess, MSC, Celebrity, Virgin and Norwegian. All of them have been wonderful memories of their own. Most cruises have been in the Caribbean and Bahamas. A couple have been to Alaska, each time with one of our two, now-grown children.  


Our next cruise adventure awaits us, as we are booked on our first Mediterranean cruise on the beautiful Norwegian Escape, in late 2024.
