Romantic Getaway.

                  A couple needed a romantic getaway for seven days and contacted me to make the arrangement. With limited budget, they still wants something special and romantic. They had  few demands but nothing crazy, they wanted all inclusive resort with no children, a large room with Jacuzzi, access to casino, 24 hour room service, all drinks and food inclusive and airport transfer. I went through a lot of options and settled on a few itineraries for presentation.

            
              I presented the couple with four choices, two within their budget and two outside their budget. After much consideration, they settled on an itinerary a little bit over their budget, the wife preffered this particular resort for the amneties it offers and also has everything they wanted.

            After I made a few phone call to this particular resort for verification, the romantic vacation package was approved, booked and not long afterward, the couple were on their way to Romantic Island.

A Florida Family Vacation

                  A family of four who had decided to go on a vacation contacted me to arrange for all inclusive package to Florida. They had received my business card through a good friend of mine and they knew exactly what they wanted and only needed me to make the arrangement. I asked about their budget and worked so hard to stay within that budget, I gave them option to pick hotel and Car rental of their choice.
              I booked their flights, car rental and they picked a nice hotel closer to all activities and not too far from the Airport. We spoke on the phone during their vacation and I called to welcome them home and also sent a thank you note. Knowing that my clients will be tired from long flight, I remember calling the hotel ahead of time to make sure my clients rooms are comfortable and ready.

Magic of Africa.

               To experience an African Vacation full of fun and activities, one should start with South Africa. To actually enjoy the journey, I suggest booking hotel and car rental in advance and I recommend Table Bay Hotel & Victoria-Fall hotel. Start your journey by visiting Transkei the birth place of Nelson Mandela, then move on to Johannesburg and drive to Victoria Falls to experience the wonder of Africa.              

               South Africa is known for tasty wines, so take a Wine Tasting tour, visit Cape Winelands and explore the largest wine producing region in South Africa. The Table Mountain is a must see attraction because you can view all Cape Town at once from the top of this mountain and Soweto is a perfect place to sample local cuisines and experience South African Night life.

              Make a date with Mountain Gorillas and Chimps and watch as they climb mountains in Ngamba Island, Lake Victoria. Drive down to Chobe National Park in Botswana and see the largest group of Elephants in Africa. Save a whole day to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and visit Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro the famous wildlife sanctuary in the world.

    Experience a balloon ride across Massai Mara in Nairobi, Kenya and don't forget to visit Queen Elizabeth National Park and Bwindi Forrest. Also visit the "Big Hole" the largest man-made excavation in the world.

         The best way to see South and East Africa is to board the famous "Rovo Rail" and enjoy the Great Train Journeys. The Blue Train is perfect for sightseeing in South Africa. This is a luxury train/hotel with opportunity to see landscapes and visit tourist attractions. Shongololo Express is a full service Travelling train/hotel that serves breakfast and dinner. It is the best way to explore Africa and it has a tour van for a guided sightseeing touring during the day.

         Downtown Nairobi, Kenya is a place to be for shopping and entertainment. To experience beach life, head to Zanzibar Island. This spice Island was once the center for the slave trade and an excellent destination for a beach vacation.

Save big on south Africa starting
at $2399-13 Days, 19 Meal.
