Before or after a Galapagos cruise many clients request to add on Machu Picchu. Although this is quite popular I would recommend against it because it does involve quite a bit of flying. I would recommend visiting Machu

The Allure of Upcountry Maui Ahhh...Maui! Almost everybody’s favorite island! It always lands at the top of travel polls in magazines like Travel & Leisure and Conde Nast. The beaches are amazing, the restaurants world-class and some of the most luxurious resorts in the world are located there. While I will be the first person to take you up on an invitation to lounge poolside at the Four Seasons or dine at Mama’s Fish house, my favorite way to spend the day on Maui has nothi

Reality TV shows love a trip to the Aloha State.

Most commonly thought of in Europe, on the Rhine, Danube, Seine, Douro and even Po rivers, River Cruising is also extending itself to Russia, China, Vietnam & Cambodia and – yes...even the United States (although US River Cruising is a whole different animal). Many of the voyages are “themed”, for special interests such as “wine immersion”, “Tulip Time”, “Jewish Heritage”, a popular “beer tasting cruise” along the Rhine, and the ever-popular “Christmas Markets” cruises during

Le Blanc Spa Resort Cancun Le Blanc Spa Resort Cancun is my number one recommendation for adults only luxury at an all inclusive resort in Cancun. It is consistently raved about from my clients, colleagues and even #1 rated on TripAdvisor. Set on an idyllic white sand beach overlooking the serene blue Caribbean Sea, Le Blanc Spa Resort Cancun beckons with an experience that takes luxury to another level. Newly transformed, this luxe, adults-only, all-inclusive once again ra

1. Visit O Chateau for the absolute BEST wine experience! They offer so many options...ranging from a single glass of wine to a Champagne Cruise on the Seine to a full day small-group tour to the Champagne region of France! www.o-chateau.com/paris-wine-tasting 2. Stop in to the L’Orangerie museum to get “up close and personal” with Monet’s incredible Water Lilies.

I am excited to get back to ultra-luxe bucket list travel. The Maldives are open for tourism with reasonable and safe Covid-19 protocols currently in place. The Maldives is a nation of islands in the Indian ocean that spans across the equator. They have coral reefs that account for 5% of the planet's reefs which offer vivid bands of color. The small islands have white, soft sand surrounded by the clearest shallow waters imaginable. This is the perfect destination for a buc
