Unless otherwise stated, this blog is to be considered a personal account of our experiences traveling, sightseeing, dining and on excursions. It is a report.

​

I am a travel agent, consultant, blogger and a photographer. There may be some shopping links and I could possibly make a small commission that does not cost you extra.

​

I am also an Amazon Associate. If you click a link and purchase an item, I might make a small commission (doesn't happen always). There is no extra charge to you.

We have affiliations with Zergnet, Amazon, Google Adsense, Travel Quest, Disney Planner and Booking.com.

​​

We also sell photos and printed products on Shopify, Shutterstock, Image Kind, Fine Art America, Pixels, Dreamstime, iStock by Getty Images, Facebook and Instagram. Privacy policies and cookies on those websites are subject to the policies of those companies.

​

Why do we charge a consultation fee? I am a travel agent, consultant, and advisor. Travel agents make money by earning commissions from the vendor at no cost to you. However, if we provide information to you and you do not book with us, we do not make money. Therefore, we charge a small consultation fee that is applied to your total trip if you book with us. Otherwise, you are free to take the information from our session to book your trip on your own.

This website is created through Wix. They may use cookies so that I can see my statistics. I only use the information to see if how many people visit. The only way I know who you are is if you submit a consultation form which goes to my email.

But, Google and third party vendors will use cookies and DoubleClick cookies to serve ads based on a reader’s prior visits to our website and/or other sites on the Internet. Readers can opt-out by visiting the sites link that will pop up.  To opt out, you can also visit the advertiser’s websites directly.
