Jerri Adair-Williams
Travel Expertise: Honeymoons
Having been in the travel business for over 25 years, I have dedicated the last 10 years to honeymoon planning and consultation. I have created honeymoons for over 500 couples worldwide, with an emphasis on Hawaii, Tahiti, Mexico and the Caribbean.

My two guidelines: Be up-to-date and be available... through constant research of current and new resorts, checking bridal magazines, etc. I then make myself available to couples from 9 to 9, 7 days a week.

Eva Bailon, CTC
Destination Expertise: Spain
I've known, and loved, Spain for over 30 years - as a full-time student, married woman and travel professional. I'm equally comfortable revealing insights into Toledo or Segovia as I am Madrid. I'm fully fluent in Spanish and understand what is of most interest to American travelers.

Els Delanoy, CTC
Travel Expertise: River Cruises
With my first river cruise on the Dniepr River from Odessa to Kiev in 1985, I realized that this was a unique - and very personal - way to see a country. Since then, I have cruised on the Danube, Elbe and Rhine in Europe, the Orinoco in South Amerca, the Yangtzee in China and the Mississippi here in the USA. On top of those, I've also barged on the canals through the wine country of France. River cruising offers the unique comforts of cruising with the in-depth experience of a land-based vacation. Unpack only once and you're in a different city almost every day. Since most cities are built around their river, you usually arrive right in the middle of the action - conveniently close to the most popular sights and shopping!

Travel Expertise: Golf Groups
I have developed and escorted golf groups for the past 15 years. This involves selecting the right destinations and courses, setting reasonable budgets, managing logistical factors, tracking golf clubs (and their golfers), and developing the necessary local contacts to provide an exclusive (and memorable) experience!

Didi Engler, CTC
Destination Expertise: Australia/New Zealand
In addition to earning my Aussie and Kiwi specialist certifications, I have taken 7 trips to the region. Whether it be independent travel, fully escorted groups, cruising the barrier reef, jetboating or bungee jumping... I've enoyed every minute!

Travel Expertise: Equestrian Vacations
The loves of my life - horses and travel - come together with the 9 trips I've taken working with wranglers around the world. As host of small groups (4-12 people), we've visited six different countries, with 'dining experiences' ranging from cooking food over an open fire in the outback of Australia to enjoying pâté in the fields of France.

Shirley Olmsted
Destination Expertise: England & Ireland
I've traveled to England and Ireland several times and developed a particular fondness for the area, its people and its history.
Travel Expertise: Europe
My passion in serving my clients is based on my love of Europe. My experience particularly shines when clients have special desires and interests, such as cooking schools, barging, or enjoying unusual and special restaurants.

In addition to Europe, I also have a great deal of experience with escorted trips to all other parts of the world, including Asia, South America, Africa and India.
