I've Been to Antarctica

Celebrating Our Birthdays in Antarctica
Celebrating Our Birthdays in Antarctica

In March 2017 I set off for the Great White Continent; the elusive number 7; the land of the penguins: Antarctica.


I remember sitting on my vessel, when an announcement came on telling us there was land ahead. After a day and a half of crossing the Drake Passage, most voyagers found this to be comforting as we would now have smooth water for our days around Antarctica. We all ran to the viewing deck or the large windows around the ship. We took in the beauty of the "untouched" continent and we made our way forward.


There were penguins swimming next to our ship, diving in and out of the water. We saw several species of whale and seals over the next few days. We saw Wandering Albatross fly past our ship.


It's not uncommon for me to have a positive emotional experience when traveling. Antarctica was no exception. The pristine beauty was intoxicating. You couldn't help but stand or sit in silence and take it all in. Tears of joy filled my eyes several times.


In addition to the vast natural beauty, we were also able to visit a handful of research bases and the penguin post office.


I would love to help you plan your perfect voyage to The Realm of the Penguins. The season may be short, but depending on what you are looking for, I can make sure that you have the right length of time, the right company, and the right month since each offers different and unique experiences.

This agent knows the BIZ!
Sarah has handled our travel arrangements for quite a few years. :)

She can handle small and large travels. Sarah has done extensive travel in all shapes and forms. She is an EXCELLENT resource and provides top notch customer service. She is adventurous but practical. Explain to her what you are looking for, and she will make it happen.

On one occasion, I had what could have been a difficult travel experience but upon calling her it was handled with ease.

Sarah is our go to girl when we travel. Make her yours!

Best Family Vacation
I was trying to plan a trip to Australia on my own thinking I would save money. It was frustrating. I called Sarah and explained what I wanted and my budget. She helped me get everything booked and stayed within budget. Her recommendations were fantastic. She guided us through all steps of international travel.

The best agent I have worked with!
I have had the pleasure of working with Sarah on many trips. She is an extremely professional agent who is great to work with. She has helped me with overseas vacations multiple times, including New Zealand, a multi country European trip, and even Antartica. She is constantly impressing me with her knowledge of the topics/locations we are discussing. She is available to answer any questions I may have about excursion or seasons to travel, and is willing to offer suggestions based on what we have discussed. I value her opinion and have been very thankful for all that she does. She thinks of everything needed for the perfect vacation, down to transfers (which I always forget about), insurance, currency exchange tips, and places of interest. She is the only person I will book my travel through!

Family Vacation - Cruise to Mexico
I have referred Sarah to others and have actually received a call thanking me for referring them to her.

She saved us money over the internet sites and advised us on the important things we wouldn't have known otherwise. We are grateful we found Sarah,and will use her services again on our next trip.

Having Sarah professionally advise us saved time and gave us the confidence to explore areas where we wouldn't have otherwise.

(I wish we traveled more!!!)

Feel free to share this note with anyone.
Thanks again!
