In January of 2025, I took a National Geographic - Lindblad Expedition cruise of the Galápagos Islands. The smooth operations, friendly and welcoming staff and fantastic naturalists and photography specialists, all helped to make this journey exceptional. I would highly recommend this trip for anyone who enjoys adventure and is interested in natural history, science and conservation.

In October and November of 2023, I took a repositioning cruise, from Athens to Dubai, on Virgin Voyages' Resilient Lady. The attentive and friendly crew, the outstanding food, the modern and innovative entertainment and the bucket list-worthy ports of call, all made for an amazing trip. I loved the cruise so much that I booked another repositioning cruise on Virgin Voyages, from Singapore to Dubai, in the spring. I highly recommend both Virgin Voyages, and repositioning cruises in general, to my clients.

A South Africa honeymoon can combine city and safari, luxury and adventure, high-end cuisine and cocktails out in the bush. A honeymoon is a great time to explore some of the most enchanting regions in this beautiful and diverse country.

There is nothing quite like the color drenched landscape of the Hudson River Valley in the fall. "Leaf peeping" is a popular activity in the area but there is so much more to see and do, such as tours of historic homes, apple picking and even a Star Trek museum. Pull your coziest sweaters out of storage and get ready to immerse yourself in all-things-autumn.

Visitors will enjoy the many cultural spots, outdoor activities, excellent shopping, wine tasting and delicious and diverse cuisine that Santa Barbara has to offer.
