Our family unanimously agreed that this was one of our best vacations ever. We love to snorkel, and being in the water in general, and my husband and kids got certified to dive just for the trip. We liked that it was very active during the day, but relaxed at night. Service was exceptional, and […]
The packing guidelines for our 7-night Windstar Dreams of Tahiti voyage seemed pretty straightforward: beachwear/casual during the day, resort casual in the dining room. But as I thought about the various excursions we booked, my packing list became quite long, and I still wasn’t sure what to expect on board. As I unpacked, I couldn’t […]
This spring I had the honor of accompanying Sven Lindblad on a special Lindblad voyage to give feedback on new experiences and itinerary modifications for their Baja whale expeditions. Getting to travel with Sven and his family is a one of a kind adventure in itself. But even when he’s not on board, this experience […]
You heard that right. I am a travel advisor who is not an expert at air travel! I can’t tell you off the top of my head which aircraft have lie flat business class seats, or which have the most leg room in coach. But I have traveled enough to be a bit savvy on […]
I had the honor of being invited to tour Lindblad’s newest addition to their fleet, the day before she was christened in San Francisco.

Here are five tips to make sure you get the most out of your experience. Make sure you know which admission fees have been paid […]
Credit card companies generally let you set up alerts for things like large purchases, so you can monitor for fraud. One I have set up on my Chase card is to notify me of any international charges. (This is not a promotion for Chase credit cards, but I did choose it for many traveler-friendly features […]
If fine dining is an important part of your travels, then you may have turned up your nose at all-inclusive resorts, which have somewhat rightly earned a reputation for “quantity over quality.” But I urge you to take a look at Grand Velas Resorts, in three Mexico locations, which have broken that mold. They are […]
In the 30 years I’ve called California home, I had never been to Santa Barbara until 4 years ago. And then I only spent a few hours doing hotel tours on my way to the LA area. Recently I had the pleasure of spending 3 nights in Santa Barbara, and now I realize what a mistake […]
