HAWAII HERE I COME!

Hawaii 7 day CruiseHawaii Cruise Honolulu photo 7 days round trip Honolulu from $999 per person and up

HAWAII HERE I COME!

I have long wanted to cruise around the Hawaiian Islands. This cruise on Norwegian Cruise Line’s, The Pride of America, seemed like the perfect answer. I’m actually sailing on the October 31, 2015 round trip from Honolulu and I thought I’d share it with you–maybe you’ll want to come along.  Fun is more fun when you share it and say “HAWAII HERE I COME!”

Why?  Well, for one thing, you can see more of Hawaii than you thought possible and get an enormous amount of knowledge about one of the most popular places in the world. How is that possible? It’s the only almost All Inclusive Hawaiian cruise to four islands in seven days year-round. You’ll be stopping at 5 different ports on 4 different islands. With NCL’S unique 7-day Hawaii cruise itineraries, you get overnights in both Maui and Kauai as well as visits to Oahu and the Big Island of Hawaii. You’ll be on island time as you discover cascading waterfalls, active volcanos, black, green and white sand beaches, historic sites and unspoiled nature.
You’ll enjoy nearly 100 hours in port on your Hawaiian cruise! That’s more than double any other Hawaiian cruise line! That’s 7 days of almost all-inclusive pleasure (except for certain shore excursions and drinks other than tea, coffee and juice).

Capture the Aloha spirit at NCL’S luau show which was voted the “Best Luau Show in Hawaii” by Lonely Planet.

No Passport? No Problem! None required.  You’ll be in the good ole USA all the time.

Here’s a preview of your Hawaiian Vacation in Paradise!

SO DO YOU NEED TRAVEL INSURANCE OR NOT?

Hello excited travelers!  Many people expect that nothing could possibly happen to them as they travel.  But, some of us have learned that life  is unpredictable.  My job is to make you aware of the things you might not think of when you travel.

Because I have seen so many unexpected things happen during my travels, I have become very “risk averse”.  I personally have seen a person have to be air lifted off a ship 1/2 way to Cabo and be returned to San Diego by medical evacuation helicopter. My 1st thought when I heard what was happening was ” I hope that person has travel insurance to cover this.” You have to have the right insurance coverage to pay for that.  I’ve seen a person step off a tour bus and break her ankle.  She had to pay for emergency transport and hospital expense and re-schedule her flights to another country to get back home to see her own doctors and pay again.  I know a man who had a stroke while on a cruise and had to stay a week in a foreign hospital in Turkey and then be flown home on a special medical transport  (both very expensive.) I’ve seen a young lady break her leg when she slipped at Dunn’s River Falls in Jamaica.  She had to charge $1,500 unexpectedly on her charge card to get medical treatment at the hospital.  A friend slipped on the marble floors at a resort in Cancun and broke her hip.  I could keep going on and on.

I am not trying to alarm you, I merely want you to be protected from unexpected problems.  I always insure myself when I travel and always advise my clients to do the same.  If a plan you have at home currently will cover all the things listed, then you don’t need anything extra.  You can even get coverage up to a day before you travel but the quote is about much more than cancelling the cruise or tour.  When I send you a quote,  please read the coverage very carefully.  The choice is up to you.  If “Las Vegas” is your style, then so be it.  Just know before you go.  I’ve done my part by informing you.  “I wish I had” doesn’t pay for anything.
Bon Voyage, SusanLake Como

I’ve been there twice and I’m ready for a 3rd visit to see the Rest of the State. Alaska is huge and gorgeous. Do yourself a favor, if you’re going, let an Alaska enthusiast help you plan in advance so you can maximize your time and experience. If you love nature, be sure to do a cruise-tour and understand what you will be seeing. Don’t shortchange yourself by doing an inside passage only. Beautiful as it is, that is only a tiny sliver of Alaska.

Alaska’s northern frontier has magnificent landscapes, majestic wildlife and a coastline that is one of the most beautiful waterways in the world. Sail through the pristine waters of Glacier Bay, observe a great diversity of wildlife, and explore Alaska’s national parks from the perspective of spectacular cruise ships, rail service and Princess-owned wilderness lodges.

A Little Wine Cruise History For You!

 

 

Ready for some Wine Cruise History?

Are you wondering where my new Wine Country Picture is? It’s a historic area of the Moselle River in Germany.

I love the story of the places I visit. The ruins of Landshut Castle loom over the old town of Bernkastel. The castle was built in the 9th century and burned in the 1600’s. Bernkastel is in a popular wine growing region on the Middle Moselle River. The town is a state-recognized health resort. Fittingly, Amawaterways includes free wine and spirits at lunch and dinner on their Rive Cruises to get you feeling good and in the mood for fun.

Another small town you’ll see on a Rhine River Cruise in the Rhine Gorge area is St. Goar. St. Goar of Aquitaine is the patron saint of vine growers and hotel keepers. He was a kind German monk who founded a hospice where he used wine to cure the sick. (You see, we’ve been right all along about wine!) Over the years, he became known for his prophecies and miracles and many legends gathered about him. After his death, his grave became a pilgrimage site and the nearby area was named Sankt Goar in his honor.

There are mountains which rise on either side of the Rhine and, the most famous landmark is the Loreley Rock opposite the town. Have you heard of the siren, Loreley? This area of the Rhine was tricky for ships to navigate and in ancient times the blame was put on a bad guy, the Siren, Loreley.

One of the charms of The Rhine River is that it’s dotted with so many interesting castle ruins. The area is beautiful and so full of German history that UNESCO made the valley a world heritage site In 2002. It is also known for its wines and our wine cruises focus on that with many wine tastings and winery visits. Oh, and did I mention free wine with lunch and dinner? Just saying.

And now you know some of the story of this beautiful place also. Why not join us and see for yourself?

YOUR MOST VALUABLE ASSET!

What do you think your most valuable asset is? Your money? Your car? Computer? Jewelry? Not by a long shot! Most people automatically think of possessions when that question comes up. But the true reality is– it’s your time!

Your time is the one thing of value that you absolutely cannot get more of. You can earn more money, get another car, computer, jewelry, etc—but there is no additional time you can acquire in your life. Therefore it is your most valuable asset.

You can, however, use it more wisely. If you are going to allocate your precious time to any endeavor–make it quality and don’t waste it. We all have our gifts. Do what you’re good at and let some other qualified person help with the rest.

My gift happens to be planning travel. I started many years ago and I’ve gotten consistently wiser and better at it as time went by. I know how to interpret a travel offering and separate the reality from the hype. I know how to judge the lay out of a resort and pretty much tell you how your experience will be. I can look at the itinerary of a cruise or tour and and explain what’s going to happen. In other words, I turned my time of researching all these years into a talent for getting you
that picture in your mind. I actually turn travel dreams into reality in a fraction of the time it would take you to do it on your own. Unless you’ve got years of experience, which includes personal trials and errors, you still can’t be sure of what you’re researching. Do you really want to gamble your MONEY and YOUR PRECIOUS TIME on a less than quality experience?

 

You get personal attention and one-on-one consultation with me. I honestly care what kind of experience you have, and I endeavor to point you in the right direction. I plan every adventure for you just as if I’m the one going. You can’t get that online or from any call center I know of.
.
On that note, one of my favorite comments is “DON’T WAIT – DO IT NOW!
If you want to save your precious time and and get that quality experience you’re dreaming of, contact me for a consultation. It will be all about you.

Can you relate? Wouldn’t you rather take some great trips instead?

Life is unpredictable–eat dessert first! How many time have you heard that? Well, it really is unpredictable. I never would have dreamed that I’d fall flat on my knees and face just walking to supper at the mall. How embarrassing. But the worst part was that It trashed my knees and in just a few years I was having my 1st knee replaced. I was perfectly healthy before that.

I’m still healthy. But I’ve also had a 2nd knee and one hip replaced so far. I was Medicare eligible for all surgeries. My 1st one cost me $7,000 out- of-pocket because no insurance agent I’d had since turning 65 even told me that I could have insurance that would eliminate my out-of pocket expenses. If I had stuck with them, I’d now be $21,000 out-of-pocket. I learned the hard way that you can’t always depend on sales people to tell you all your options.

That’s why Mark and I decided to go to a Health and Life Insurance
Classes and find out for ourselves what the “rest of the story was”.
Because we know how it feels to only get 1/2 of the info you need to make a good decision about Medicare Insurance, we pledge to keep you informed fully and have your best interest at heart. We are Seniors ourselves and we use the plans we sell so we speak from experience. As independent agents, we can give unbiased answers to your questions about senior insurance, and we will help you protect your hard earned assets.

As I said, Wouldn’t you rather take some great trips instead? I sure would.

Let’s Hear It for New Orleans and the Mississippi River! Get Your Groove On!

Did I tell you that I grew up in small town Ponchatoula, La? I can’t imagine a more idyllic childhood. I was totally insulated from the rest of the world. I’m still friends with people I met in the 1st. grade. My grandfather took me to my 1st Mardi Gras when I was about 10 years old. It was more a family festival back then. After that, New Orleans was a favorite city to me.

I even studied Pharmacy there at Loyola University. I lived on St. Charles Ave and rode the trolly to school and to Canal Street to visit the French Quarter. I met Charlie Walgreen Sr and Jr while working at Walgreen Drugstores in Chicago where I moved to after I graduated from Loyola. That was the coldest I ever was in my life except for the last few days in Buford, Ga. Time sure flies by.

I’ve been to several French Quarter Festivals through the years. They are a lot milder than Mardi Gras festivals. The locals put on a grand show all along the River Walk of the French Quarter. Lots of good food will be there along with great music and just plain good fun. “The event will take place April 9th-April 12th, 2015 and employ over 1,600 world class, local musicians. French Quarter Festival is the largest showcase of Louisiana music, anywhere.”

I just got this info from the New Orleans Convention and Visitors Bueau and thought I’d share it with you.

Break out the party hats. Clink your glasses in celebration. 2015 marks the 32nd anniversary of the French Quarter Festival.

Back in 1984, this music event began as a small, neighborhood festival that organizers hoped would lure local residents back to the French Quarter. Today, it has grown to host more than half a million locals and out-of-town visitors.

There’s much to love about this longtime festival favorite, like its 23 stages and 400-plus hours of live entertainment. But a large part of its popularity is due to its price tag—it’s absolutely free to hear all of that outstanding music! It is known as the South’s largest free music festival.

AmaWaterways: AmaVoyages, Daily Adventures, River Cruise Differences

Set ownAmber light casts its net as the foliage begins to morph into striking shades of red and orange. There is something very magical about experiencing the beauty of Europe during the fall. Maybe it’s because the air is refreshingly crisp after months of warm weather. Maybe it’s because the crowds of summer tourists have left and locals begin to prepare for the holidays ahead. Or maybe it’s because the stunning colors and smells of the season seem to amplify the radiance of everything around you.

Whatever it is, Europe’s grand capitals and historic landmarks are even more breathtaking during this time of year. And seeing cities like Paris, Amsterdam and Budapest transform into an autumn paradise is that much better aboard an AmaWaterways river cruise.

National Parks: Do you remember your 1st “REAL” vacation …

 

— The one where you went somewhere else besides home to see Mom?

 

My 1st REAL vacation was with my sister, Bert.  

We visited the Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, and the Rocky Mountains,all were remarkable National Parks.
After that, I was hooked on the Western USA. And I still am!

I made a vow … then to visit all the National Parks before I die.

I still have a few to check off, but I continue to plan a visit every time I get close to one. There are 3 on this list that I need to get to.

Planning is all part of the fun.  
I can help when you start making your plans.  I encourage you to start doing that today.

“It will bring your family closer together and instill a love of travel in your kids.”

You’ll be sharing memories for the rest of your lives.

 

You’ll come home singing “Round, Round, Round, Round–I get Around” just like I do.

Check out the 10 best national park drives (Of course this is a matter of opinion.)

Airlines Change the Carry on Rules

We all know that TSA lines can have very unpleasant surprises such as confiscating belongings, loosing luggage, and pat-down searches. They can even be as unpleasant as changing carry-on weight limits without a warning.  That is why it is important to check the TSA rules and standards before you embark on your travels.
