Join me as I say goodbye to my wonderful Sapphire

Join me as I say goodbye to my wonderful Sapphire Veranda Suite which was "home" for a week on @crystalcruises . Honestly - you can't ask for more on a cruise ship, but if you have to have a bath tub, they have those too. (Some with a panoramic view of the ocean around you, which, I mean, THAT would be incredible...). But still, this was pretty sweet!!!

If you're tempted and want your own Crystal experience, I have some nice booking incentives right now - they are BACK and better than ever. Drop me a line!

Drive around Provence, they said. It's beautiful, they said. Yes- all true. Easy? Hmmm...

I survived both directions of the route between Bonnieux & Lourmarin, and managed to film a little bit (without killing myself or anyone else!). This is why I often suggest private drivers for my clients so they don't have to deal with the stress of the tiny roads, difficult directions, and crazy speed limits!! (Throw in a bunch of cyclists for extra challenges!) 😂🚘🚧🚵🏻

I have more to share from the end of my Japan trip

I have more to share from the end of my Japan trip, but I've been too busy at my desk working on my clients' travel plans to post! However, I couldn't let today - Global Travel Advisor Day - go by without shouting out the people who make it happen for me. The people who trust that I have their best interests at heart, who trust that I'll match them with the best travel experiences for THEM - not just anyone. The people who trust me to help them discover the "je ne sais quoi" of their next dream destination.

Seriously, my clients are incredible and I don't thank them enough - especially since they deal with waiting on me while I'm gone so often (I'm working on a plan to fix that issue, I promise!). I love following along on my clients' journeys almost as much as I love sharing mine here - so thank you, thank you, thank you for letting me be a part of your travel dreams!! Without you, I wouldn't be able to make my own travel dreams happen, and for that, I will be eternally grateful.

In Kanazawa, which is famous for its Samurai history, @taucktravel arranged the most awesome private performance for us! This was examples of old fashioned Noh performance and folk music, and it was a blast. The performers were all awesome, and we all got in the act. There was even some teaching of samurai moves after the dancing & music. SUCH a cool afternoon!!!

Endless Japanese screens and scrolls, depicting the flora & fauna over different seasons. I couldn't get enough while exploring the Tokyo National Museum with @taucktravel !!! Fabulous morning!
