 River Cruising is for all ages, so don't delay..the time is now for you to experience the world by River Cruise! 

 Budapest to Amsterdam and all countries in between! Instead of rushing around Europe by coach and train, let the  countries come to you. Enjoy the wonderful scenery along the Danube, Rhine and many other European Rivers, while you take in the sights while cruising from one port to another. You will be provided with first classing dining and wonderful sightseeing opportunities. Immerse yourself in the culture of the Old World.

 

If River Cruises are not for  you, how about an Alaska Cruise or the Caribbean . Explore South America or the Panama Canal or the many great destinations in Europe.

 

There are so many great values to travel so let's get out and explore.

 

If you have a group of friends and or family, please let me know. I would love to assist you with the group travel as well.

My Travel Specialties

All-Inclusive Travel Advisor

All-Inclusive Travel Advisor

<p>With 37 years of experience in the travel industry, I thrive on helping clients realize their nomadic ambitions. I specialize in all-inclusive resorts, which allow travelers to pay all expenses upfront and then relax on well-deserved vacation days. Using my expertise in the Caribbean and Mexico, I highlight the wonders awaiting from the moment that magical journey begins.  </p>
<p>For me, the travel bug bit early in life. A Bermuda cruise at age 12 widened the world far beyond my childhood days in York County, Pennsylvania. From that eye-opening experience grew a desire to help others expand their horizons and explore cultures outside their own. I am a fortunate soul who has managed to fulfill that dream while still working from my home base in York County.</p>
<p>I consider myself an expert on all-inclusive journeys after countless client bookings over the decades, but also because of personal boots-on-the-ground experience. I’ve explored many different resorts in the Riviera Maya at least 20 times and have traveled to Bermuda and the Dominican Republic. I’ve also gained invaluable insights into Jamaican culture and activities through a FAM tour, which helps travel professionals discover the best vacation opportunities for clients.</p>
<p>I sincerely desire a good time for every traveler, and I always say: “I wouldn’t send you anywhere that I wouldn’t stay myself.”  I am partial to Secrets Resorts, which offers very good value for the money. Travelers enjoy well-appointed rooms, excellent food and accommodating staff. Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya is also impressive, and I’ve booked many trips there for repeat customers. Other standout all-inclusive resorts include Dreams, RIU, Iberostar and Moon Palace.</p>
<p>On days off, I relish spending time with family and friends. From board games to lawn games, tea times, cooking, dining, reading, and wine and beer tasting events, I enjoy a full and rewarding life. </p>

Lori is responsive and thorough. She is so friendly and patient when we can't make up our minds on where we want to go. We really trust and appreciate her. We have recommended her to several friends.
Karen - Ireland ~ Europe
I have used Lori for our travel planning for about 7 years now. We have had her plan trips to Disney, cruises (both Disney and Royal Caribbean), trips to resorts in both Jamaica and St. Lucia, and our best trip ever was to Hawaii. Lori listens to what you are looking for, asks your budget so that she can meet your needs and keep your pocketbook happy, and she is available every step of the way from planning through your actual trip...and usually checks with me when we return to see how everything went. She returns calls and emails promptly, which is not true of others I have used in the past. I truly can't say enough good things about her! I have referred several friends and family members to Lori, because I am confident she will serve them well. Happy travels!
