As a lifetime travel junkie, some of my favorite destinations are tropical. My recent trips include Beaches Turks and Caicos for fabulous scuba diving; a wonderful trip exploring Italy with my son; 2 weeks in Tahiti on the outer islands including Bora Bora, Tikehau, Tahaa and Manihi; a couple of days at each of the Sandals resorts on St Lucia and Antigua; a Caribbean cruise on the Mariner of the Seas and a week walking all over New York City.

In April I’m headed to Washington D.C. and this summer plan to be back “Down Under” visiting Ayers Rock and the Northern Territories in Australia. On my last Aussie visit I was in Sydney, Melbourne, Kangaroo Island and Adelaide. On Christmas Eve we watched a turtle lay her eggs on Heron Island, then spent a few days sailing the Whitsunday’s and celebrated New Years Eve at Silky Oaks Lodge near Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef. Australia is huge and has so much to see, it will take many more trips to see it all!

Other favorite destinations include Mexico, New Zealand, Greece, Belize, Costa Rica, Bali and Thailand. I haven’t been to Africa or Antarctica yet but I’m working on it. So if you are planning a family vacation or honeymoon and want to work with a Destination Specialist, I hope you’ll call me! Totem Travel has been in business since 1989 and we're one of the Puget Sound’s largest travel agencies.
