One destination we consistently get good reports on from our clients is New Zealand. “After one month I was surprised that I could have stayed another week or two. The New Zealand countryside is just gorgeous,” wrote one client after a trip we helped arrange. “We loved New Zealand. Very progressive country and friendly people,” wrote another.
We are so looking forward to the debut of Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas later this year! The Oasis will be the largest passenger ship afloat and will have many unique features – such as the Aqua Outdoor Theatre pictured to the left.
In our travels we often meet with private tour guides that we later recommend to our clients. Scot gave our family a terrific tour of the Vatican when we were in Rome in 2006. Scot and his wife Rina now offer personalized custom tours in Italy, specializing in the Tuscany area.
There’s an exciting new cruise ship coming to Port Canaveral, Florida! Later this year will be the home port for the 130,000 ton Carnival Dream. She will be sailing 7 night Caribbean sailings with lots of features – an expanded spa, family staterooms that can hold 5 people, and much more.

We are always looking for good companies to work with in arranging vacations for our clients. One of our favorite suppliers is Down Under Answers – a company that provides great expertise and planning for the South Pacific. We recently discussed Australia vacations with Kerryn Cook of Down Under Answers.
Our ownership in the Disney Vacation Club (DVC) gave us many fun family vacations. We started our email discussion dvctalk in 1998 – a list that has grown to over 4,000 subscribers. We recently caught up with our dvctalk list sponsor and DVC Resale broker, Shontell Crawford, to get the latest on the resale market and DVC.
