Small is Beautiful 

The women I have traveled with continually tell me how much they like our small groups. It all comes down to the structure of traveling. If you travel in a large group, historical homes, small hotels and inns just don't work. If you travel with a large group, small chef owned restaurants can't take your reservation. If you travel in a large group you need a big bus to travel in. If you are part of a large group you wait for everyone everywhere. If you travel in our small group that all changes and you do sleep in historical inns and small hotels and dine at special places. We travel comfortably, generally in Mercedes luxury sprinters and, because we are flexible, our stops along the way are varied and sometimes we turn right instead of left or stay longer. You can see I am trying to share the real benefits of traveling in a small group. For us that is not 25, 20, 15 or 12 it is 6!! It's just like a personal trip that you would plan only we do all the work for you. Six is a lovely number for dinner table conversation. When a special inn has 8 rooms reserving 6 is perfect. I can't say enough about the difference the number traveling makes in your comfort, what you get to do, where you sleep, and the overall experiences as you travel. Imagine the difference of 6 versus 15, 20 or 30........ and join us.  .

South Africa            

 

Hurricane Arthur left me without internet and computer capability for tooooo long. Bell Aliant is coming again this week and hopefully I may be connected 100% soon so I can finish a lot of work that is waiting. Top of the list is our Autumn 2015 South Africa jaunt. Stay tuned. The details ARE coming and this is a trip you will not want to miss.

 

Turkey            

  

Our Turkey trip is approaching this September. Due to a cancellation, we have room for one more. Turkey is as safe as anywhere in North America that I know of and is a wonderland of history, culture, and landscapes that are unforgettable. If you have been dreaming of Turkey, our trip is a perfect opportunity to discover one of the worlds favorite countries to explore.

Inspiration   

      


"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain .
