• This year we decided to do a custom land vacation to Greece. Normally, we visit many of the Greek Islands via a cruise but we wanted to do it a different way this year and it didn't disappoint. We utilized one of our preferred vendors, Travelive, a leader in bespoke, custom planned and executed travel experiences in Greece and other European destinations. We flew into Athens, Greece spending 2 days and nights exploring the history of Ancient Greece such as the Parthenon, the Plaka and Thission neighborhoods, and other Classical Athens sites. Then we took a short and easy flight to Mykonos for 2 nights exploring the captivating white-washed buildings, meandering pathways, and breathtaking beaches. From Mykonos, we then traveled by ferry to the island of Naxos. The two nights we stayed at the Sundunes Hotel Naxos were magical. This brand new, luxury, beach-front hotel is the epitome of comfort and luxury. It is just steps from the ocean and this island won our hearts because of it's untouched beauty. Finally, we took another ferry to the island of Santorini for our final two nights. Here, we stayed at Vedema, just 10 minutes from Fira. A wide variety of first-class facilities and amenities can be found at this Luxury Collection Resort. While it's not a ocean front resort, it is very close to the black sand beaches and the hustle and bustle of Oia, the most popular destination on the island. Once there we did an island tour discovering its History and its Wine. Our trip culminated with a flight back to Athens and then home to Phoenix. This was an amazing adventure that we'll share over and over again with future clients that want a custom Greece adventure. 
• We attended several conferences this year as usual to continue bringing valuable knowledge and insight to our customers. We experienced Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas at our national conference with Cruise Planners where we were again recognized in their Millionaire Elite class of franchisee's. And, we just completed the Cruise Planners Sales Academy about the Windstar Star Pride from November 30 - December 7th where we got to explore the wonderful islands of the US and British Virgin Islands. It was an amazing small ship, yacht experience. 
• We did get to make another trip in September to Nashville, TN to visit our daughter. We love going to Nashville. The scene there is electric. And yes, we do help clients plan long weekend trips to great cities all around the USA such as Las Vegas, Nashville, Miami, New York City, and more. We can help you with the flights, hotel, and rental car. We have access to thousands of hotels, many with Signature perks only available with our partnership with Signature Travel Network. 

Scheduled Travel - 2026

• We'll set sail early in 2026 to celebrate my birthday aboard Allure of the Seas with Royal Caribbean. This is an 8 night cruise out of Ft Lauderdale that visits the ports of St Thomas, St Maarten, San Juan, Puerto Rico, and CocoCay, Royal Caribbean's private island. We have fond memories of this ship as it was one of the ships we toured when we began our travel agency back in 2014. (There may be an old video of me zip-lining high above the boardwalk of the ship.) I'm sure we'll be posting many new videos and pictures of our journey from January 31 - February 8, 2026.
• Then, one of our most anticipated trips of 2026 will be aboard Silversea in the islands of Tahiti. We're excited to arrive a few days early to Papeete before boarding the Silversea Silver Whisper April 13 -20, 2026. This trip is a special trip as we'll be cruising with other elite Cruise Planners franchise owners. This will also be our first time cruising with Silversea and going to Tahiti. We're truly excited for this trip. 
• Also, we're in the early stages of planning a self-driving road trip from the Phoenix area to Nashville, South Dakota, Wyoming, and Colorado and other stops along the way. More details to come.
• Our last, currently scheduled trip in 2026, is a land and cruise adventure in Alaska. This cruise will be aboard the Celebrity Summit - August 7-14, 2026 but we'll first explore Alaska by land from August 1-7th. We love, love, love Alaska. This will be our fourth Alaskan cruise in the last 5 summers. It's different every time we go. We begin this adventure on land by flying into Fairbanks, Alaska and after staying a couple of nights we'll jump on the train for the first of four legs of our journey by train. We'll go to Denali National Park(Mt. McKinley) for 2 nights, Talkeetna, and then Anchorage for a night. We'll then join the cruise in Seward, Alaska and make stops at Icy Strait Point, Juneau, Skagway, and Ketchikan. One of the highlights of the cruise is viewing the spectacular and highly active Hubbard Glacier and then sails the beautiful, Inside Passage, before ending at one of our favorite cities in the World, Vancouver, Canada.
• I'm sure we'll have additional trips to close out 2026 so keep an eye out for more updates to our travels throughout the year.
• FYI, Alaska itineraries are always popular. Be sure to call us right away to book your Alaska cruise as the season does sell out.
