Trip to NYC for sightseeing and Broadway plays
I am starting out without a specific date. We would fly to New York City and plan to sightsee by day and see Broadway performances at night. You would not need to attend each performance--you can pick and choose what you want to see. Example plays may be The Lion King, Hamilton, and Wicked. This trip would be 3-4 nights.
2024 British Isles Golf Cruise
Attendance to The 152nd Open at Royal Troon
12 Nights Edinburgh - Dublin | July 14 – 26
This cruise sails from the port closest to Edinburgh, Scotland and ends in the port closest to Dublin, Ireland. This is a cruise where golf is an option in several ports and golf experts will be on board. However, you do not need to golf to sail on this itinerary---there are plenty of other activities in each port. You may choose to include tickets to the British Open in the package or you can choose not to attend. I'm happy to provide more details if you are interested in this sailing. The price will vary quite a bit depending on what you want included, but will be roughly $5,000-$15,000 per person, based on double occupancy.
Golf at Terranea Resort, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA
This resort with an oceanfront 9-hole course is not very far from Los Angeles. It is a quick flight or a 5.5 hour drive (depending on traffic). This area has more to offer than golf, but the golf is one of the main attractions. The resort is set on 102 acres.
This is a resort where I can offer the group complimentary additional perks. https://www.terranea.com

All inclusive Stay at Hotel Xcaret
Playa del Carmen, Mexico
There are 3 hotels at Xcaret and they all offer a comprehensive all-inclusive plan. We could have a group from Verrado and Victory travel to Xcaret and stay at the property that best meets their needs.
Hotel Xcaret México is great for families with children. Hotel Xcaret Arte and La Casa de la Playa are both adults only. Hotel Xcaret and Xcaret Arte include entrance into the the Xcaret's parks, including transportation, Xcaret Xailing ferry to Isla Mujeres, round trip transfers from the Cancun airport and dining experiences by the Culinary Collective (celebrity chefs). La Casa de la Playa is a boutique resort with butler service and you can create your own inclusions.

Europe for Art Lovers
This trip will focus on art---both in museums and meeting local artisans. For now, this is a rough itinerary, but we can meet to fine tune the itinerary to meet the groups needs. You can join all for all of the cities or choose just 1 or 2 destinations. The museum and gallery visits are optional and you can use the free time to see artists that are of interest to you. All 3 cities have a very vibrant art scene.
The tour will include:
Madrid: A stop at the Prado and Reina Sofia---time for gallery walks in Carabanchel
Berlin: A stop at the Neues Museum, Berlinishe Galerie and Bode Museum. Berlin has a great contemporary art scene so we can also visit KINDL.
Amsterdam: A stop at the Van Gogh Museum and Rojksmuseum. There are many smaller galleries and museums that focus on specific art mediums.
This tour will be 12 days if you visit all 3 locations.

Brazil and Argentina: 10-14 days
This trip will include stops in Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires and Iguazu Falls. Depending on the size of the group, we will have a private guide and driver to show us the beautiful sights. Pricing will vary by exact dates, but will be approximately $3000-$4000 per person, land only. If we have more time (the 14 day options), we would add on another destination in Brazil or Argentina.
10 days in Turkey: focus on UNESCO World Heritage Sites
Turkey has many UNESCO World Heritage Sites and some of the friendliest people in the world. This tour would start with 3 days in Istanbul before heading to Cappadocia, Ephesus, Hierapolis and Pamukkale. This tour needs at least 8 travelers. The price for tours and hotels in Turkey will range between $2000 and $2500 per person.
Two weeks in France: one country in depth
Who would like to see more of France than just the tourist highlights? We will start with 2 days in Paris, but will then visit other areas of the country like Normandy, Brittany, Nouvelle-Aquitane and Provence. The exact itinerary will be decided upon by those interested in the trip. Please RSVP if you are interested.
5 (or 7)-night all-inclusive resort stay
Would you like to relax on a beach with your neighbors? I can arrange a stay at an all-inclusive resort for our group and plan an optional day trip for those that want to leave the resort. I am leaving date and destination open for the moment to gauge interest. Please RSVP below if you are interested. I have an option for Mexico above, so this resort would be somewhere in the Caribbean (Jamaica, Dominican Republic, St. Lucia, etc).
