Recent Trips:
Dana recently sailed the beautiful Western Caribbean on Royal Caribbean’s Liberty of the Seas. This eight-day/seven night cruise that is roundtrip from Galveston, Texas is always a local favorite. The ability to drive to Galveston and park your car right there at the pier is a plus. The countries she saw were Mexico, Cayman Islands and Jamaica. There is limitless adventure onboard as well as beautiful sights on land.
Another recent favorite is her All-Inclusive trip to Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Dana has been traveling to Jamaica for 25 years and is very knowledgeable about this beautiful, diverse island nation. The tasty, exotic foods and drinks along with the warm, gorgeous aqua water and beautiful beaches are among just a few of the reasons to spend some time in Jamaica.

Upcoming Trips:
The French Riviera and Italy’s Renaissance treasures take center stage in this upcoming sojourn they’ve planned for January, 2018!
