I am a huge fan of Europe, we all know that. But when I read any “Exotic” brochure I find myself intrigued by some of the amazing adventures that are out there.

I leave with my group for Africa in two weeks. One of my friends at Globus did this tour, came back and told me all about it. I was intrigued, and just had to see it for myself.

Egypt. Oh my stars I want to go to Egypt. I didn’t, not until yet another of my friends at Globus went two years ago, came home, made a power point, and spent two hours with me and my agents telling us all about it. By the time she was through, we were all onboard.

Cairo, Karnak, Luxor, Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens, Esna, Edfu, Memphis, Sakkara, Giza, Aswan, and you can even throw in Jordan just to see it once, see it all.

When I do it, it will be part Nile River cruise and part land tour. It will be a 15 day trip, and space will be limited. Watch for upcoming emails. I’m thinking 2025.

After Egypt I am considering the Galapagos. The more I read about that area, the more I think I need to see it for myself. Those small ship experiences would be lovely, especially if I can fill the ship with my own friends/customers and know the companionship will be sublime.

If we’re thinking about the Galapagos, let’s throw in Ecuador and Peru as well. I am a big believer in “do it once, do it right”. Quito, Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley, Cusco, Lima. The tours in this area range from 7 to 17 days. Let’s go once and see it all.

Of course if any of these are of interest to you, you certainly don’t have to wait for me to offer it as a group experience. My agents and I can get you on any adventure, anywhere in the world, without waiting around for us to go with you.

Just FYI, one of my other friends from Globus did the Mekong. Came back, told me all about it. I aint’ a gonna go. It’s hot. All day, every day. Humid and hot. Just wanted you to know I don’t jump onboard every trip someone tells me about. Ha ha
