After too many years in the corporate world in positions that weren't a good "fit" and a stint at college teaching (which didn't really fit that much better), I decided several years ago to follow a life-long passion for travel and writing.

My husband and I opened a professional travel agency - http://www.greatescapetraveller.com -- in a very small town in New Hampshire, where we are able to "cruise" Lake Winnipesaukee in our small sailboat, and help our clients plan their best cruise and land vacations.

We specialize in travel to Australia, New Zealand, and the smaller South Pacific Islands (Fiji, Tahiti and the Cooks) -- and cruising on the best small cruise lines.
