Hola Jo,
We had a great time in Punta Cana last week. It rained everyday but it lasted about 5 minutes. We went on 2 excursions. The outback safari was excellant. Our driver, Ramone and guide Eddie were very funny and informative. We made couple of stops. We stopped at a school, a home and little beach to go boogie boarding. Lunch was provided before the boogie boarding. 2nd excursion was Marinium. Some good/some bad points. We weren’t aware we had to swim/snorkle from boat to swim with shark/sting rays. A storm rolled in and guide helped us back to boat because water was real choppy. After getting back on boat the storm stopped. We had smoothe sailing for the rest of the trip and entertainment was good. Gran Bahia Principe Bavaro was really nice. We liked the shuttles going up and down our resort. In the heat, it was nice to ride than walk. Food was great. So much to choose from. The Apple Rep, Carlos, was very helpful. We had 2 ala cartes and wanted to go back to Garden Grill for 2nd time. Guest services couldn’t help us but Carlos suggested to go there and see if there was a cancellation. We tried an lo and behold we got another steak dinner. We mentioned we were on our anniversary and they surprised us with a small heart shaped cake with champagne. Nightly entertainment was very entertaining. Casino was small but we had no trouble getting a machine. We had a good time haggeling. All the service was good from waiters/waitress, bartenders, to maids. We would definetly go back. Thanks for all the tips you gave us. They came in handy. Another tip, don’t text or use cell phone out of country. Very expensive. Beware of parasailing, zip line and dune buggies. Storms come in very fast. Right in front of us, parasailers didn’t get in fast enough. The line snapped and the 2 people dropped 50 feet luckily in water; however, wind took them up again and flew another 50 feet. People on beach rushed along the beach to try to get parasail in waters!or it wouldn’t take the people up again. Scarry sight. Per another vacationer, zip line has no safety line like in US. Only 1 line rather than 2. Saw dune buggy hit a telephone pole because there is no rules driving on the road. We are already thinking of where we want to go next year; maybe Costa Rica? Thanks again for all your help.Alex/Tina

July 13, 2010Hi Josephine,
We had a great time at the Gran Bahia Principe Coba – great service by all the staff. We took the Mayan Encounter, which was not too far, really interesting and lots of fun. Thanks for all your help. Hopefully will be in touch in the not too distant future

Review of Mediterrean honeymoon
July 13, 2010Hi Jo,
Our honeymoon was amazing and we had a great time! We made it though and both transfer drivers were very friendly! We loved our Rome tours and realized that taking the ‘Skip the line’ tours were the best decisions. We figured there would be a general public line, but didn’t expect it to be that long so early in the morning, esp. for the Vatican. The ‘Skip the line’ tours were very convenient to free up the rest of the day for some sightseeing on our own. The cruises were also a wonderful way to see the Mediterranean. We had some great excursions and on the ports we didn’t schedule anything, we had a great time exploring the cities on our own and soaking in the culture. We tried some amazing local cuisine and we are already talking about when we’ll be able to make it back. Thank you so much for all of your help with making our honeymoon so wonderful and stress-free!
Thanks,
Amanda
Review of Europe— cruise// Britain/Ireland
June 8, 2010Josephine, thank you, thank you, for all your attention to detail in helping us plan our transatlantic cruise and globus land tour of Britain and Ireland. We are especially great full for all the telephone time to go over everything since we were in Florida for the winter. You were so full of information, hints and ideas, it helped make the trip such a pleasure. Tom and I both felt we got great value for the money spent. Tom and Karen

Cabo San Lucas — ME Cabo resort
May 28, 2010Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Aahh, the perfect combination of great weather, great scenery, great food and drink and lots to do – including pure relaxation…or party time! You decide. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at ME Cabo, located on an awesome, swimmable beach and only walking minutes from downtown. The hospitality, services and facilities are exceptional and the resort is highly recommended. Cabo’s easy to get to and once there, I guarantee you won’t want to leave. Looking to get away from it all? Looking to experience it all? Look to Cabo…you won’t regret it! Mary Ann

Review San Fran and Wine country
April 30, 2010Hi Ginny,
Just wanted to let you know that our trip was absolutely wonderful. Everything worked out perfect and we enjoyed everything. The only thing we would have done different was to space a day between the long plane ride and going to a long day at Yosemite. A little tiring for us old timers but well worth it. The Wine Train was wonderful. We just had such a good time. Thanks again for planning our trip, you did an excellent job!!!
