After our experience with Costa Rica Expeditions, and with more time available, my research into Albania was more extensive. I emailed three different providers – a local company in Albania, a company local to Boston, and an international travel company. Tours-Albania immediately responded. The owner, Jimmy Lama, was able to

We had just moved from Massachusetts to Rhode Island, and were soon to travel to the Galapagos Islands when I discovered that it was
I couldn’t possibly write on a single page the whole of a eight day journey aboard the Majestic. However, I can express my feelings in a single word: Majestic. We arranged for the full eight-day trip in August, during the first year of the Majestic’s life. It was a fantastic
The Mansion del Angel, Quito I arranged our eight day cruise on a luxury yacht in the Galapagos Islands, plus a pre-cruise visit to Quito, Ecuador, using the tour company Adventure-Life. I had used this agency to arrange the adventure cruise to Antarctica in 2007, and they still offer a

I am a type 1 diabetic, and have been for fifty-three years. From Antarctica to Svalbard, Australia to Africa, I’ve visited every continent. With my husband Greg, I have been on safari to Africa, wandered among the blue boobies in the Galapagos, slogged through jungle mud in Laos, and he has even chased an ocelot in Costa Rica (with his camera!)
