Las Vegas, Nevada - 2018

Sin City, where what happens there stays there, is often sought out for the exorbitant number of casinos and gambling available, or for its cost effective, unique wedding locale. It has so much more to offer than that though! With one of the largest convention centers in the world, Vegas might have the allure of attending one of the many expos and conventions held here. Las Vegas also has so many shows and entertainers on hand, and is within a quick drive of the Hoover Dam and a longer drive of the Grand Canyon. There's no end to the things you can see and do in Las Vegas!

Mazatlán, Mexico - 2018

Are the winter blue getting you down? Looking for an affordable, warm location to escape to? Mazatlán is a great place to consider! Located on the west coast of Mexico, it offers a respite from most worries of hurricanes that the east coast is burdened with, and boasts nonstop flights from the Twin Cities.

Galapagos Islands - 2018

For those of you looking for adventure in your life, look no farther than the Galapagos Islands, a short hop, skip, and jump away from the South American coast and Quito, Ecuador. Recently a client returned from a G Adventures tour of the Galapagos and had only great things to say about her experience.

New York City - 2017

With such sites like the Empire State Building, Times Square, the Statue of Liberty, and the multitude of museums, it may seem like there is no time to see the culture past the history. But on this trip, they were able to catch an impromptu concert in Central Park, take a sailboat ride around the Statue of Liberty as well as seeing many of the popular sites.

Portugal - 2017

The often overlooked occupant of the Iberian Peninsula should not be overlooked anymore! With gorgeous landscapes, incredibly friendly people (who speak English very well), a rich history, and very affordable prices, Portugal is Europe’s best kept secret!

Mazatlán, Mexico - 2016

Visits to this picturesque port city in Mexico are sure to delight the sun-child in anyone. Although any resort town in Mexico is sure to provide you with beautiful scenery, wonderful activities, and an enjoyable time, Mazatlán is just Mazatlán – it has resort town amenities but also welcomes you into the culture of its history, atmosphere, and people.

Iceland - 2017

Iceland is one of the most picturesque places I've been.It has fjords, mountains, glaciers, active volcanoes, geothermal springs and baths, and waterfalls galore! It also has great folklore with trolls, giants, dragons and fairies. It's a great place for solo trips for women, too, as it is one of the safest countries in the world (last year there were a grand total of 2 murders in the whole country). During the summer, there is nearly 24 hour daylight and during the winter there is nearly 24 hour darkness/twilight. In the winter, it is great location to see the Northern Lights.
