USA / Alaska / Hawaii / Amsterdam / Canada / Caribbean Islands / Corfu / Santorini / Dubrovnik / London / Mexico / Puerto Rico / Prague / Venice / Vienna /
• Favorite Destinations: Small ships and River cruises are my very favorite. I have cruised the Mississippi River, Columbia & Snake Rivers, Danbue River, Rhine River, the Caribbean, Mexico, Alaska, Germany, and the Mediterranean.
