Can you believe the ten-teen's decade is almost over. 2019 is closing down, and we're all starting to think about the new year, new decade, and getting our vision focused on 2020.
But it's always good to take a moment to look at the year that was. I hope your's was full of laughter, family, friends, and of course, travel.
As I'd shared last week, I'm back from a 11 day trip to Europe, hosting a large group of 70+ people on a Christmas Markets river cruise with U by Uniworld. We travelled from Budapest to Regensburg onboard the ship, and then had a stay in Prague. That was a magical experience. I was so proud of seeing everything come together.
I was fortunate to have many other trips in 2019 as well. I traveled to New Orleans and Newfoundland, Machu Picchu and Disney World, Vegas and onboard the Rocky Mountaineer through the Canadian Rockies; with other side trips around Canada as well. I've organized individuals, couples, families, and groups to travel around the world; and have sent clients to every continent - Antarctica, Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia, and North and South America.
My clients have been amazing. I've shared their planning and helped them build memories. They've shared with me their joys with milestones, weddings, and new babies. They've also shared their family transitions, illnesses, and losses of a partner. And the one thing I've learned...

I love getting client reviews. Such as this absolutely fantastic one. (Thanks Charlene!)
Very Helpful Advisor
By: Charlene
Reviewed on: 01 Sep 2019
We were not familiar with riverboat cruising. We asked Sheila for her expert opinion about one company in particular. She shared her knowledge of that company as well, was able to direct us to a promotion by another company. We were so glad that she pointed us in the right direction because we saved money and we had a exceptional experience on our August riverboat boat cruise!! This is our second time using Sheila help...we will definitely use her services again!!
Travel end date: 03 Aug 2019

Cruises I'm Working on this Week
|
|
|
I work on many cruises each week. I thought it'd be interesting to share with you where some of my clients are going - maybe it might inspire you to plan a trip. Lemme know if you'd like to chat.
Of course, there's usually some special perk (or several - between Vision/ Direct and Virtuoso) that you only get if you book through me, your Virtuoso travel advisor. But here are a few of examples of what I'm booking this week:
1.) Scenic Waterways - a solo lady's trip to Danube Delta Discovery with Transylvania
2.) Holland America - several families are getting away for a New Year's holiday to the Caribbean
3.) Lindblad Expeditions - a family's getaway to Antarctica
4.) Quark Expeditions - a couple's polar adventure
Let me know if either of these interest you, and you'd like to go!
