A sampling of places I have been and some extraordinary experiences I have planned and attended.

• Germany: Munich to Berlin and Dusseldorf
• Budapest, Amsterdam, Zurich, London, Cardiff, Bruges, Brussels and
  Cambridge

United States

Visits to all 50 US States, most of them multiple times. Need assistance with picking the best National Park in the summer or a visit to an out-of-the-way historical site? Maybe you just need advice on spending 5 days in New England? Want to talk about skiing: Jackson, Telluride, Vail, Breckenridge, Killington, Bretton Woods, Snowshoe, Aspen Snowmass, Deer Valley, Sundance, Solitude, Jay Peak or Diamond Peak…I’ve been to almost all US Ski resorts. For 15 years in Corporate America, I also
planned and executed Executive retreats and Conventions in 10 different locations.

Some of my favorite activities have been:

• A sunset sail in Charleston or NYC
• Golf at a private Island on a renowned 20-hole course while sleeping in a lighthouse
• A trip to wine country focused strictly on Cabernet and Zinfandel Blends
• Fly fishing on the Rogue in Oregon or Bighorn in Montana
• Dog sledding in Alaska
• Dry Gin Martini and Blue Cheese fries at The Ritz Carlton in DC
• Risotto at Spago in Maui, HI
• A helicopter ride in Alaska to a glacier to gather thousand-year-old water for drinking.

Canada

Our northern neighbor holds so much abundance. For three years, I specialized in all-inclusive, custom-designed tours in Canada. Highlights of my visits include:

• Jasper to Yoho National Parks
• Calgary and the Stampede
• Banff (5 visits); ask me about a delicious wild game meal or glacial skiing
• Canadian Maritimes; Halifax, Turron (Tidal Bore of Fundy Bay) or PEI.
• Quebec City (which is like visiting Paris)
• The cosmopolitan beauty of Montreal and Vancouver
• The luxurious and rugged lodges of the Canadian Rockies, Banff Springs, Chateau Lake Louise, Rimrock Resort, Fairmont Jasper or Post Hotel and Spa. (Post Hotel is my favorite!)
