I'm participating in the write 30 minutes a day challenge with the American Cancer Society.

It didn't take me long to come to the conclusion that I enjoy traveling to explore. New pl...

Spices in the Market
India - but can we get there by car?
In my years of working in as an educator I have been fortunate to travel on business to many locations across the United States, but the one opportunity that truly stands out for me was when I was asked to travel abroad to help research the possibility for a student journalism program. It would not only be the first time I would use the p...

I have information from each state to plan trips
On the road again
I come from a very large family - I have eleven siblings. That means that big vacations were pretty much out of the question. I remember going camping a few times (it always rained) and driving to Iowa to visit relatives (before the current US151 was expanded).  I took my first plane when I was 17 - and it was on my own. I discovered it w...

Disney - The start to something magical
Until I was 16 I had only known of Disney from the Sunday program and the Mickey Mouse Club reruns I would watch during summer vacation. But that changed when the family that I babysat for invited me along on their family trip.  We drove from Oak Creek to New Smyrna Beach, Florida - cementing my love of road trips. At that time paper tick...

Take the insurance
Reviewed By DHW - Glendale, WI | Traveled to Vancouver ~ Washington ~ USA
Carole was very patient and helpful as we made plans for our upcoming trip. Which we had to cancel at the last moment for medical reasons. I only wish we had taken her advice to purchase insurance. Definitely would have saved a ton of time and some cash!

Got to experience the LEGENDARY Route 66
Carole helped organized a road trip for my Mother and I that saw us spending roughly two and half weeks traveling down America's famous Route 66. Along the way, we were graced with some of the best pit stops our country has to offer. We got to see everything from historical landmarks, like the grave of Abraham Lincoln, to sideshow oddities, like the world's tallest totem pole. If you are looking to not just plan a trip, BUT ALSO an adventure? Carole is the woman you will want to speak to.
