Coming from a family of pilots, flight attendants, teachers and railroad workers I have a lifelong passion for travel. After retiring as a secondary teacher of 31 years in June 2020, I start my journey as a travel concierge at Main Street 55 Travel. I explore the world as a virtual travel assistant from my home-base in Virginia.

      I have been catching planes since 1964. I have explored 44 states, traveled at least a dozen times to Europe, and ventured to Australia, Rwanda, the Caribbean & Canada. To quote Susan Sontag: “I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list.” I currently specialize in Disney Destinations, Universal Parks & Resorts and Norwegian Cruises.

      In 1975 I encountered my first Disney World Magic as a teenager, and I’ve been hooked ever since, making repeat visits to Orlando  and expanding to Disneyland, Disney Cruises and soon Adventures by Disney. It’s a thrill to plan, personalize and share these vacations  with family, friends and new clients.

      I also have first-hand experience with the wonder of Universal Parks & Resorts    (The Wizarding World of Harry Potter,Revenge of the Mummy,The Hard Rock Hotel ...) and cruising with Norwegian Cruise Lines (Hawaii, Greece, Cozumel, Croatia …)

      I’m looking forward to sharing all that I love in travel and helping you find what you love.  Let your next travel adventure begin now!
