Wow—another successful adventure! 🌎✈️

It’s been a week since we’ve been home, and I finally feel like my body clock is back on track! As always, the destinations are worth the journey to get there.

We started by revisiting some of our favorite spots in Athens before boarding the beautiful Oceania Allura for an amazing itinerary through the Mediterranean. Even with a few port changes along the way, it always seems to work out—and this trip was no exception!

Our journey took us to Santorini, Rhodes, Katakolon, Corfu, Kotor, Montenegro, Dubrovnik, Croatia, and Bari, Italy, before returning to Athens.

And the experiences along the way were unforgettable! We saw the famous blue-domed buildings of Santorini, explored churches, old fortresses and castles, sailed past the Lady of the Rock, ventured into submarine hideouts, visited the incredible Blue Cave, and even swam in some of the clearest water I’ve ever seen. 💙Walked the entire Dubrovnik wall experiencing all the amazing history.

We also met some amazing people along the way, shared plenty of laughs, and made memories that will last a lifetime.

Travel really does remind me why I love what I do. Every journey has its own surprises, and there’s nothing better than experiencing new places, cultures, food, and adventures along the way.

We even took our grandsons Pokémon card along on the journey and sent him photos along the way.

Until the next adventure… who knows where the journey will take us! 🌍✨

Where do you want your next adventure to be? I’d love to hear where you’re dreaming of going next! ✈️🌎

I look forward to this charity golf tournament every year. Such a great event put on by the West Ridge Men’s Golf League. Proud to be a sponsor supporting the Friends of the Children of Central Oregon as well as The Boys and Girls Club. This year we sponsored hole #13 with chance to win $500 for a hole in one. Even though no one made the hole in one we raised an additional $700 for the charities. Another successful day at work even if it was a little, okay a lot windy. 🌬️

Just a friendly reminder to check your passport expiration dates. Passports must be valid for at least six months beyond your return date. If you don’t currently have a passport, it’s a great idea to apply for one so you’re ready whenever the urge to travel strikes.

Today, I had a client who had to cancel a trip scheduled to depart tomorrow because their passport will not arrive in time. While they were protected by travel insurance, it was still disappointing for them to miss out on the celebration.

To help prevent this from happening in the future, passport information will be required prior to final payment. I’d truly hate for this situation to affect anyone else.

If you have any questions or need guidance, I’m always happy to help.

Sitting in the Vegas airport after a very productive travel conference, meeting with suppliers all over the world. I realized I’ve truly traveled the world the last 3 days with no delayed flights and unfortunately no stamps in my passport, but gained a lot of knowledge, and got A LOT of steps in. Where in the world would you like to go?

Had an amazing day “working” but a good change of scenery. For the last three years we have sponsored a hole with the West Ridge Men’s Golf tournament benefiting the Friends of the Children for Central Oregon and the Boys & Girls Club of Bend. Surpassed the previous years donations and each charity received close to $6500. Even got the closest to the pin with 11 ft on hole #8 and felt good yo donat the winnings
back to the charity. Even though it was a very hot day the experience was priceless.
