In my previous life I had 100 offices in the USA, so I know all the cities personally and take six or more trips per year. St. Thomas every year, Europe same. It's a passion and I'm a bit of a research and detail lover!

Janice was incredible she was able to book everything we requested from the boat shuttle to Le Guerite to dinner at Louroc. She was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend.

Janice was great to work with and we would highly recommend her. She was able to get us reservations at La Vague d'Or and booked our stay in advance to insure we could get a reservation.

Once again, Janice delivered! Our trip to Paris is one for the ages. We will forever look back at this trip with specialness (hopefully we forget about the record heat). My wife and I (sans kids) came to Paris to see the sights and attend the first two days of Roland Garros (a bucket list trip for us).
While we passed on the Louvre and Versailles (saving for next time), we did enjoy a small group tour at the Orsay Museum, a private night boat ride down the Seine, and more fine French cuisine than one deserves. We even had time to meet some American ex-pat friends whom now live in the 4th arrondissement. It was the perfect amount of plans and where does this moment take us.
If you are a fellow architecture enthusiast, be sure to read the book Paris Reborn by Stephanie Kirkland. This will give you some major insight into the 2nd French empire and the development of Paris’ urban landscape and architecture. It will make your walks that much more special. Can’t wait to come back.
You are foolish to risk planning an important trip like Paris by yourself or using someone other than Janice! She handled every detail from hotel, dinner reservations, chauffeured cars, and planned activities. She was even available in the middle of the night to help us trouble shoot a small mis-step of a boat operator. Everyone knows that successful people have lawyers/CPAs/wealth managers but what they don’t tell you is that you also need a fantastic travel advisor. At point, if she will take you, you need Janice Nearen-Bell to plan your trips from here forth.

Janice’s service was impeccable from start to finish. She guided us on every piece of our vacation to make it special for me and my daughter. Took all of our hopes and desires and made it become our reality. Made us aware of all the options available to us which helped make our final decisions for our vacation. She made sure beaches knew it was a graduation celebration and made them aware of my food allergies before I stepped on the island and had me in touch with the culinary concierge. We are excited and look forward to planning our next vacation with Janice Nearenbell.

As always, Janice is the best. As previously explained, she is on top of all the details prior to and during the trip. Her recommendations were excellent and her partners in Italy were terrific. We are already planning our next trip to California with her.

Passion & Paella: 7 Romantic Days in Madrid
I often think how I wish my ancestors had not come to the US, as I have an enormous affinity to European culture and go every year. As I’m approaching 20 countries, I now have three favorites and they are France, Spain, and Italy—in that order. Madrid surprised me in a great way as I did it with Portugal and expected to prefer Portugal, but it was the other way around. Madrid is friendly, walkable, historic, and the food and rooftop bars and restaurants are to die for! Flamenco music and just a happy, youthful culture! And of course the clothes shopping, which we always do in Europe! I’m now watching Eva Longoria’s “Searching for Spain” on CNN—it’s a great show for all the same reasons! Planning for Seville and Andalucia’s region next.

Burnt Out & Barefoot: Our Escape to St. Thomas
I've been going to St. Thomas and surrounding islands twice a year for 40 plus years. It's special due to it's history, culture, people, beaches, restaurants and much more. I feel it's the nicest set of beaches easily reachable often direct flights from the US in just a few hours. It's the perfect balance of do nothing, pool beach every other day or fill your every day with boating, snorkling, night kayaking, diving, island hopping, skyride to Paradise Point and more! Eco friendly camping on St. John too, just a 20 minute ferry ride away.
