🛳 Things you need to know:

There's a line in most cruise and escorted tour T&Cs that you may not know about, but you should. You know, those Terms and Conditions that are pages long that we often do not read.

It basically says that the supplier can implement an extra charge if the price of oil rises above $70-$100 barrel.

Yes, even after final payment

It's normally $10-$15/pppd

They try to avoid it because it's always a mess, but Margaritaville At Sea is already charging it for some of their sailings.

Travel Friends,
Switzerland is one of those places that surprises you at every turn. One moment you are standing beside a lake so clear it looks unreal, and the next you are surrounded by mountain views that look like they belong on a calendar. This trip brings you through the best of it, without rushing and without missing the highlights.

A big part of what makes this journey special is the train travel. You are not just getting from one destination to the next. You are watching Switzerland open up around you as you move through valleys, past small villages, and straight into the heart of the Alps. It is scenic, comfortable, and one of the most enjoyable ways to take in the country.

You also get time to explore on your own. Wander through charming towns. Take in the views. Enjoy the calm, steady pace Switzerland is known for.
Travelers return saying how refreshing the trip felt and how every stop had its own unique beauty. It is a journey that is easy to enjoy and hard to forget.

If Switzerland is calling your name, I would love to help you save your spot for 2026. Let us get you ready for a trip that truly delivers on scenery and experience.

Today is Dominican Independence Day! 🇩🇴

The Dominican Republic is a premier Caribbean destination renowned for1,000+ miles of coastline, featuring top-rated white-sand beaches in Punta Cana, Bavaro, and Samaná, with many holding Blue Flag status. Its vibrant culture is a rich, warm fusion of Taíno, African, and Spanish influences, defined by merengue/bachata music, passionate baseball, and historic colonial charm in Santo Domingo.

🏝 Looking for an all-inclusive beach experience? Or maybe you want untouched, wild, and pristine coastal beauty? They have it all and more and I can book you one that's perfect for you.

💃 I can even book you activities that are like nowhere else. Maybe a bachata lesson? Tour of a local rum distillery? What about a cooking class featuring African flavors? Again, I've got you covered.

☀️ And for outdoor experiences you can choose anything from hiking to the top of Pico Duarte, to exploring Los Haitises National Park's caves and mangroves, or even watching whales in Samaná.
