All Six Hawaiian Islands!
There isn't much I don't love about Hawaii. Each island is so unique and I have been lucky to spend time on all of them. Oahu - Melting pot of cultures, history, incredible beaches and Waikiki is like Vegas on the beach, minus the casinos. Maui - "If you're lucky enough to be on Mau...

Who was lucky enough to visit Antigua for the first time this July? Me! Our first stay was the Pineapple Beach Resort and I had a Garden View on the second level, but I was able to see the ocean from my balcony. The beach there was great, the food was incredible, the entertainment at night was st...

This area changed my life. How could I ever know that the Mediterranean waters and vistas, the art, and the delicious food would lure me like a siren's song? It did just that so much that I did this trip twice in 2023. I want to go back. I am looking everyday to find the next opportunity to return. Italy is lovely, but inland, you are NOT on the...

Tulip Time Cruise in the Netherlands with Avalon
I'm a tulip lover, a cheese lover, an architecture lover, a history lover, a windmill lover, a total history geek. I love not only the slender beauty of a tulip, but also how they contributed to the emerging market economy that shaped the face of Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries. A Tulip Time Cruise on Avalon River Cruises was right up ...

    10 Year Anniversary Trip to Ireland
    Reviewed By Schluter's - Sauk City, WI | Traveled to Ireland ~ Europe
    Working with Gail was BEYOND incredible! Her knowledge and expertise was extremely helpful, plus when we had a few glitches with our tour, she went above and beyond to get us satisfaction for our troubles. Burkhalter needs to give this woman a raise!!!! The term "dog with a bone" comes to mind. When we were having troubles with some of the companies we were staying with Gail went to bat and didn't back down! I would whole-heartedly recommend Gail to anyone needing assistance with their travel plans! We won't hesitate to use her for our next adventure!
    Gail Hummel responded
    "Your praise is so appreciated and I enjoyed working with you and your family. I wish things had gone more smoothly, but your ability to adapt and be creative saved the day! Where to next?"

    Wonderful, care free Jamaican vacation
    Reviewed By Happy traveler - Verona, WI | Traveled to Jamaica ~ Caribbean
    Gail made booking our trip so easy and worry free! Plus she added in a bunch of extra tips that helped make our the trip the best we've ever had, and we like to travel a lot. We had a cancelled flight on the way home, and with two small kids traveling internationally that was not good news. Before we could even get to the front of the customer service line Gail had us booked on a different flight just a few hours later. We will definitely be using Gail for our next vacation!

    Italian & French Riviera Celebrity Cruise Sep 23
    Gail, Everything on our trip was great!! The ship was nice and our room was great. You were right, we didn’t feel claustrophobic at all not having a balcony/veranda so I’m glad we didn’t pay more for a room with one. Our excursions were fun too, but I think we did too many! We ended up canceling one because we just wanted to explore ourselves, and it ended up being a really fun day. Thanks for all of your help with this trip!! It was a fun first cruise and first trip to Europe! :)

    Scandinavia September 2023
    Hi Gail, Feedback, sure. The hotels were all great. Go Hotel Ansgar in Copenhagen was perfectly located, a block from Central Station. Within walking distance to Nyhavn. Tivoli was right there also. The room was totally updated and clean. There was no bar/restaurant but they sold snacks, beer & bottles of wine at the concierge you could take out into their lovely courtyard to enjoy. Thon Hotel Rosenkrantz in Oslo was quite nice, walking distance from the train station. Getting a 24 hour tram pass was cheap and a good idea. Hotel Oleana in Bergen was quirky & nice. Again, great location. Could walk anywhere. May have been my favorite place. Zoku Copenhagen was unique & had a beautiful rooftop garden, restaurant & bar that could be a definite draw for returning. All the hotels had excellent breakfasts and, in my opinion, a definite must to include in your bookings. I wish the US had such an efficient and organized train transit system. The train from Oslo to Bergen was a beautiful trip.
