My Background
My family has always seen travel as a lifestyle and a supplement to our education so my sister and I were fortunate to see and experience so many great destinations as children and young adults. We still travel together every Thanksgiving, now as a multi-generational family. There was no doubt for me travel was an integral part of my life and after College I went in search of how I could incorporate my degree in arts with my love of travel.
I live in Virginia with my husband Jason and our son Joey. It was an easy yes to work with McCabe World Travel because of their great reputation in our area and the opportunities they could offer me in my career path. I have been with them for the last nine years and have been given the opportunity to grow and expand my education in several specialties.
Family travel has now become my main priority. My son was on his first flight at four months, sailed on several cruises and has travelled to Hawaii, Alaska, Europe, Mexico, Napa and the Caribbean. I show my clients that they don't have to sacrifice travel, it should remain an essential part of their lives. With the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it's extremely important for families to bond and share special moments, this has been ingrained in me through my family.

Just the way we expected Cambridge Beaches to be since we were last there in 2008. A beautiful property, friendly, courteous and helpful staff. Only drawback was they eliminated the Ferry ride from the property to Hamilton for shopping. But all in all a most enjoyable stay. Perhaps again next year.

Because she knows how we like to travel, Jessica's arrangements for Hong Kong and Dubai where our cruise began and ended were wonderful! A perfect beginning at the Hong Kong airport where, after more than 20 hours in transit, we were met at the airway by a hostess and a cart. She gathered us and our hand baggage onto the cart, took us to baggage claim, through customs, and delivered us to the hotel's chauffeur. We were taken directly to our room at the Peninsula and fell gratefully into bed.

Everyone one from valet parking, the bellmen and the housekeeping staff were wonderful. If we needed something, they were right there to retrieve it. We had 5 grandchildren all under 5 with us and the Ritz was very kid friendly. The food we very good. I don't think anyone had a bad meal while we were there.

Low water rescue:)
By: Kathy
Reviewed on: 17 Nov 2015
We have just returned from a fabulous Grand European River cruise on a Viking long ship. We cruised on the Danube, the Main and the Rhine rivers. The weather was sunny and unusually warm for fall and the sightseeing through the Wachau Valley and the Middle Rhine Valley was spectacular. However, beautiful sunny days meant that the rivers were low and after we arrived in Passau we could not continue because of the low water levels. Viking handled the situation wonderfully. After our planned tour at Nuremberg we were bused to a waiting long ship in Bamberg. The passengers on that ship were taken to our long ship at Passau and we all continued on our cruises even staying in the same staterooms, just different ships. Viking staff did a great job getting all the luggage transferred and we continued on our journey without missing a tour or a planned stop. Being on a cruise line with many ships certainly worked to our advantage. We loved the trip and would recommend Viking River Cruises.

Relaxing and Laidback Resort Option for Belize
By: gpm12
Reviewed on: 14 Jun 2016
Las Terrazas is well kept and everything was beautiful. Our room was phenomenal (room 109), we had unobstructed views of the center courtyard, pool, and a perfect view of the ocean from our bed. The resort is very relaxed, but tends to shut down pretty early in the evenings (not many people out past 8). The hotel staff said there were a lot of vacancies so they canceled some of their evening entertainment (e.g., Belize Night) which we were pretty bummed about. The service was acceptable, we would have to go grab them or ask for things twice, but hey... we were on island time. We took the ferry ($5 US per person) in almost every morning which only takes 15-30 minutes depending on how many stops. The ferry runs every 2 hours, so if you just miss one, you will be waiting a while. Many times we would have wanted to stay a bit longer or leave earlier, but we were chained to the ferry schedule. Half day excursions are better value and overall more fun than the full day ones.

Great way to experience Ireland!
By: Bob
Reviewed on: 27 Jul 2016
Our trip to Ireland went off without a hitch and it was first rate in every aspect. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of our air travel with United. Complimentary beer and wine, plus good meals and free movies helped pass the time. Travel to and from the airports was very well coordinated and that really eased our minds. Our accommodations in Ireland were all excellent, and Tauck provided a terrific tour director and drivers. The itinerary was paced perfectly with plenty to see and do, but with enough free time to rest and/or see things on our own. Most enjoyable was the quality of our group of fellow travelers. Everyone got along very well, and we really enjoyed touring together. Ireland is truly a place where Americans are warmly welcomed and I would recommend the Tauck tours to anyone.
