Puerto Rico, Prague, Budapest

Our family has travelled for the holidays for the last 10 years, we've been to skiing in Michigan (easy!), hiking in the Grand Canyon (not easy!) and Memphis, TN. I have great respect for the great variety of travel within the United States.

I have family in Northern Ireland, and I toured the area of Donegal and The Wild Atlantic way, and Sligo, Ireland. Breathtaking beauty.  I am also getting to know Boston, MA in depth, as my adult son is living there. Ready to walk the Freedom Trail? I took an excellent pub crawl tour through places where JFK worked, and President Washington also took meetings. 

Recently, I went to Budapest for week and saw so many more interesting bits of the Hapsburg history. It's fascinating. 

I have learned to play American Mahjong and I am working on getting a cruise group together to leave out of Galveston in summer 2026. Send me an email and visit my webpage: www.bluedasherjourneys.com

My joy is working with you to make your trip special to you. I love to make your travel plans easier, find solutions to problems, and create smiles.

Royal Caribbean is the best cruise experience for families with older (teenage/high school) children. Always something going on. Never have to hear the words "I'm bored", which is rare for this generation. Didn't need her screen time the entire week! Shore excursions were unique, reasonably priced. Royal Caribbean is at the top of our list for future cruises. Galveston is easy to get in and out through Houston-Hobby. Jenn's recommendations were spot on. Even her coordination for BlackLane expedited our departure from the ship to the airport while numerous families were waiting around for Ubers. Jenn is a phenomenal coordinator and pays attention to the smallest of details and recognizes when there might be an issue, such as weather, and prepares us ahead of time so there are no surprises. We will continue to use Jenn for our future travels. Everything is so seamless with Jenn.

Jennifer is responsive and goes above and beyond to help with travel arrangements. She is professional and proactively provides ideas for excursions, restaurants and other experiences to help make your trip memorable. Traveling to Europe in August can be a concern, especially when summer heat waves can strike and not all hotels in Europe are equipped. Jennifer made sure our hotel had real air conditioning! We've traveled with other folks who've booked us into hotels that say there is air conditioning only to find a box fan in our room and open windows.
Canada-Hale Team USA - Paris ~ France ~ Europe
Jennifer is a very knowledgeable and patient travel consultant. Her service was invaluable in planning a 3 week multigenerational Christmas time vacation to Austria. From booking both air and rail reservation, to having someone meet us upon arrival and departure, securing tickets to requested events, and reservations at wonderful restaurants. she suggested just the right lodgings that met the needs of young children and elders. She arranged private tours of local attractions wherever we asked.
