some of our story
Introduction
We are Travel Lady Vacations…
As a child, my fathers job required us to move about every 1-2 years in the United states. Then we began our journey visiting many countries around the world and ultimately living in New Delhi, India for 7 years. I was the daughter of a diplomat. I was blessed with the opportunity to travel the world. It is a small world but there is so much to see. The more I travel, the more I wanted to see & do.
The last year I lived in India, my now husband Erik was assigned to the US Embassy for three months. That is where we met and ultimately became friends. Almost a year after Erik left New Delhi, I returned to the US to attend college. It was then that we reached out and began really dating. That was 40 years ago and our travel adventures have taken us together to many places and still our list is long. We are just your average Harlequin Romance!
I have been a Travel Agent now for 29 years and I specialize in cruising & groups. I often tell people that I am glad there is no 12 Step program for cruising, for I am addicted! I have only been cruising since 1995 and have taken 26 cruises so far. It took Erik a little longer to get the cruise bug but he is hooked now. Besides leisure travel I have also been an accomplished Corporate Travel Consultant to many Forbes 500 companies. I started this company in 2007 and Erik became my partner in 2015.
The special skills that Erik brings to our partnership are many, some back office but also his travel over the years. He can tell people about the wonders of Hawaii due to his many trips there. He lived in Anchorage, Alaska for a short time on an assignment for his company at the time. His work required him to travel all over the world and the United States. He was bitten by the travel bug when he began learning to fly and ultimately became a private piolet. One of his many skills to his attention to details of every trip. He will and does make sure every detail & need, is taken care of for every client.
